La Costa Oaks South (Neighborhoods 3.08 - 3.15)
Storm Water Management Plan
Chapter 1 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 - Introduction
The La Costa Oaks South development is located east of the existing alignment of
Rancho Santa Fe Road, north of the existing extension of La Costa Avenue, and
south of the Stanley Mahr Reservoir in the City of Carlsbad, California (see
Watershed Map on the following page). Neighborhoods 3.08 through 3.15 comprise
the Oaks South portion of the larger La Costa Oaks development.
Per the City of Carlsbad SUSMP, the La Costa Oaks South project is classified as a
Priority Project and subject to the City's Permanent Storm Water BMP Requirements.
This Stomi Water Management Plan (SWMP) has been prepared pursuant to
requirements set forth in the City of Carlsbad's "Standard Urban Storm Water
Mitigation Plan (SUSMP)." All calculations are consistent with criteria set forth by the
Regional Water Quality Control Board's Order No. 2001-01, and the City of Carlsbad
SUSMP.
This SWMP recommends the location and sizing of site Best Management Practices
(BMPs) which include one water quality extended detention basin and four Vortechs
treatment units (see BMP Location Map in this chapter).
Furthermore, this report determines anticipated project pollutants, pollutants of
concern in the receiving watershed, peak flow mitigation, recommended source
control BMPs, and methodology used for the design of flow-based and volume-based
BMPs.
1.2 - Summary of Pre-Developed Conditions
As shown in the watershed map on the following page, the majority of the pre-
developed La Costa Oaks South site drained to the Encinitas Creek watershed. The
remainder of the site (portions of Neighborhoods 3.08 and 3.09) drained to the San
Marcos Creek watershed via an existing inlet to the old Rancho Santa Fe storm drain
system.
The Regional Water Quality Control Board has identified both Encinitas Creek and
San Marcos Creek as part of the Carlsbad Hydrologic Unit, San Marcos Hydrologic
Area, and the Batiquitos Hydrologic Subarea (basin number 4.51).
1.3 - Summary of Proposed Development
Development of the La Costa Oaks South site will include the construction of single-
famliy homes as well as the associated streets, sidewalks, landscaping and utilities.
As part of the development, a regional detention basin was constructed at the
downstream end of the project in Neighborhood 3.12.

La Costa Oaks South (Neighborhoods 3.08 - 3.15)
Storm Water Management Plan
The "Addendum to Preliminary Hydrology Study for Villages of La Costa - The Ridge
& The Oaks", prepared by Hunsaker & Associates and dated October 23, 2001,
details the design of the regional detention facility.
As shown in the referenced report, the regional detention facility mitigates design
peak flow increases below pre-development levels. In addition to peak flow
attenuation, this basin also serves as a regional water quality basin.
A riser extends from the basin bottom elevation of 285 feet to a top elevation of 293
feet. Storm water treatment occurs in this bottom 8 feet of the basin while peak flow
attenuation is provided in the basin above elevation 293 feet.
Four flow-based BMPs will be located at other site discharge locations. 85"^
percentile runoff will be treated in the proposed Vortechs systems at Paseo Conifera,
Neighborhood 3.09, Avenida Junipero, and La Costa Avenue prior to discharging into
the receiving drainage system.
1.4- Results and Recommendations
The water quality / regional detention facility is located at the downstream (south) end
of Neighborhood 3.12 (see BMP Location Map on the following page). Runoff from
Neighborhoods 3.08, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14 and 3.15 drains to this location.
Additionally, runoff from a large offsite area will also drain to the basin area. The
combined watershed area draining the basin was determined to be 401 acres.
Using the 85**^ percentile rainfall of 0.68 inches (see Ispoluvial Map at the end of this
chapter) and assuming 20 percent imperviousness in the contributing watershed,
HEC-HMS calculations predicted an 85'^ percentile runoff volume of roughly 3.0 acre-
feet.
The basin's stage-storage data shows that the water quality basin area has a peak
storage volume of 3.0 acre-feet at the riser top elevation of 293 feet. The total basin
storage volume for detention (above elevation 293 feet) is 7.6 acre-feet. Since the
basin storage volume in the water quality portion of the basin equals the projected
85*'' percentile runoff volume, the BMP meets SUSMP criteria.
Each of the proposed Vortechs units is an offline precast treatment unit. The 85"^
percentile design flow rate is forced into the treatment area by a diversion weir built in
the upstream junction. Flows in excess of the design flow rate pass over the weir and
proceed downstream.
Vortechs Model 1000 units, with a treatment flow capacity of 1.6 cfs, are
recommended for the treatment units at Neighborhood 3.09, La Costa Avenue and
Avenida Junipero while a Model 2000 is recommended at Paseo Conifera.

Chapter 2 - STORM WATER CRITERIA
2.1 - Regional Water Quality Control Board Criteria
All runoff conveyed in the proposed storm drain systems will be treated in compliance
with Regional Water Quality Control Board regulations and NPDES criteria prior to
discharging to natural watercourses. California Regional Water Quality Control Board
Order No. 2001-01, dated February 21, 2001, sets waste discharge requirements for
discharges of urban runoff from municipal storm separate drainage systems draining
the watersheds of San Diego County.
Per the RWQCB Order, post-development runoff from a site shall not contain
pollutant loads which cause or contribute to an exceedance of receiving water quality
objectives or which have not been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. Post-
construction Best Management Practices (BMPs), which refer to specific storm water
management techniques that are applied to manage construction and post-
construction site runoff and minimize erosion, include source control - aimed at
reducing the amount of sediment and other pollutants - and treatment controls that
keep soil and other pollutants onsite once they have been loosened by storm water
erosion.
Post construction pollutants are a result of the urban development of the property
and the effects of automobile use. Runoff from paved surfaces can contain both
sediment (in the form of silt and sand) as well as a variety of pollutants transported by
the sediment. Landscape activities by homeowners are an additional source of
sediment.
All structural BMPs shall be located to infiltrate, filter, or treat the required runoff
volume or flow (based on the 85*'^ percentile rainfall) prior to its discharge to any
receiving watercourse supporting beneficial uses.
2.2 - City of Carlsbad SUSMP Criteria
Per the City of Carlsbad SUSMP, the La Costa Oaks South project is classified as a
Priority Project and subject to the City's Permanent Storm Water BMP Requirements.
These requirements required the preparation of this Storm Water Management Plan.
The Storm Water Applicability Checklist, which must be included along with Grading
Plan applications, is included on the following page.

La Costa Oaks South (Neighborhoods 3.08 - 3.15)
Storm Water Management Plan
3.2 - Sediment
Soils or other surface materials eroded and then transported or deposited by the
action of wind, water, ice, or gravity. Sediments can increase turbidity, clog fish gills,
reduce spawning habitat, smother bottom dwelling organisms, and suppress aquatic
vegetative growth.
3.3 - Nutrients
Inorganic substances, such as nitrogen and phosphorous, that commonly exist in the
form of mineral salts that are either dissolved or suspended in water. Primary sources
of nutrients in urban runoff are fertilizers and eroded soils. Excessive discharge of
nutrients to water bodies and streams can cause excessive aquatic algae and plant
growth. Such excessive production, referred to as cultural eutrophication, may lead to
excessive decay of organic matter in the water body, loss of oxygen in the water,
release of toxins in sediment, and the eventual death of aquatic organisms.
3.4 - Trash & Debris
Examples include paper, plastic, leaves, grass cuttings, and food waste, which may
have a significant impact on the recreational value of a water body and aquatic
habitat. Excess organic matter can create a high biochemical oxygen demand in a
stream and thereby lower its water quality. In areas where stagnant water is present,
the presence of excess organic matter can promote septic conditions resulting in the
growth of undesirable organisms and the release of odorous and hazardous
compounds such as hydrogen sulfide.
3.5 - Oxvqen-Demandinq Substances
Biodegradable organic material as well as chemicals that react with dissolved oxygen
in water to form other compounds. Compounds such as ammonia and hydrogen
sulfide are examples of oxygen-demanding compounds. The oxygen demand of a
substance can lead to depletion of dissolved oxygen in a water body and possibly the
development of septic conditions.
3.6 - Oil & Grease
Characterized as high high-molecular weight organic compounds. Primary sources of
oil and grease are petroleum hydrocarbon products, motor products from leaking
vehicles, oils, waxes, and high-molecular weight fatty acids. Elevated oil and grease
content can decrease the aesthetic value of the water body, as well as the water
quality.

Chapter 4 - CONDITIONS OF CONCERN
4.1 - Receivinq Watershed Descriptions
As shown in the watershed map on the following page, the majority of the pre-
developed La Costa Oaks South site drained to the Encinitas Creek watershed. In
developed conditions, runoff from a 401-acre watershed drains through the regional
detention facility near La Costa Avenue (in Neighborhood 3.12) and then discharges
to a tributary of Encinitas Creek.
Runoff from Neighborhood 3.09 discharges to a storm drain system constructed
along with the new alignment of Rancho Santa Fe Road. This runoff, along with
runoff from Rancho Santa Fe Road confluences with the aforementioned 401-acre
watershed around the location of the La Costa Avenue - Camino De Los Coches
intersection.
At the southeast corner of the Oaks South site, a 5-acre watershed discharges to a
side canyon near Avenida Junipero (in the headwater regions of Encinitas Creek). In
developed conditions, the total drainage area from the site area (including offsite
areas draining through the site) to the Encinitas Creek watershed is roughly 422
acres.
Portions of Neighborhood 3.08 drain to the San Marcos Creek watershed via an
existing inlet to the old Rancho Santa Fe storm drain system. In developed
conditions, the developed condition drainage area from the site area to the San
Marcos Creek watershed is roughly 24 acres.
The Regional Water Quality Control Board has identified both Encinitas Creek and
San Marcos Creek as part of the Carlsbad Hydrologic Unit, San Marcos Hydrologic
Area, and the Batiquitos Hydrologic Subarea (basin number 4.51).
4.2 - Pollutants of Concern in Receivinq Watersheds
Neither Encinitas Creek nor San Marcos Creek are listed on the EPA's 303(d) List of
endangered watenways (included in this Chapter). Per the "Water Quality Plan for the
San Diego Basin", the beneficial uses for both waterways include agricultural supply,
contact water recreation, non-contact recreation, warm freshwater habitat, and
wildlife habitat.
Table 3-2 from the "Water Quality Plan for the San Diego Basin" (included at the end
of this Chapter) lists water quality objectives for a variety of potential pollutants
required to sustain the beneficial uses of the San Marcos hydrologic area.

La Costa Oaks South (Neighborhoods 3.08 - 3.15)
Storm Water Management Plan
Chapter 5 - VOLUME-BASED BMPs
5.1 - Design Criteria
Volume-based BMPs shall be designed to mitigate the volume of runoff produced
from a 24-hour 85**^ percentile storm event, as determined from the local historical
rainfall record. The 85'^ percentile rainfall for the La Costa Oaks site is 0.68 inches
(see figure in Chapter 7).
Such facilities are usually designed to store the first flush runoff event below the
principle spillway elevation (riser, weir, etc.) while providing a means for low flow
dewatering. Outlet structures will be designed to convey runoff from the 100-year
frequency storm to the basin.
5.2 - Extended Detention Basin
The La Costa Oaks South site contains one volume-based BMP - the bottom portion
of the regional detention facility that operates as an extended duration storm water
quality basin. This basin will collect the first flush runoff volume and retain it in the
basin for a period of 24-48 hours.
85"^ percentile runoff volume, contained below the overflow elevation of the basin
riser, will be slowly discharged from the treatment control basin via low flow orifices in
the basin riser. After passing through the riser, an outlet pipe will dewater the basin
and discharge runoff to the natural drainage course downstream.
Runoff in excess of the first flush runoff volume will bypass the basin via a large
diameter riser opening (top elevation = 293 feet).
5.3 - Pollutant Removal
As shown in the table (from the City of Carlsbad SUSMP) on the following page,
extended detention basins provide the following treatment efficiencies:
Sediment - High removal efficiency
Nutrients - Medium removal efficiency
Heavy Metals - Medium removal efficiency
Trash & Debris - High removal efficiency
Oxygen-Demanding Substances - Medium removal efficiency
Oil & Grease - Medium removal efficiency

Storm Water Management Plan
5.4 - Maintenance Requirements
Proper maintenance is required to insure optimum performance of the basins.
General BMP inspections should check for structural integrity of the riser, debris and
litter removal to prevent blockage of outlet orifices, etc. Fencing should be provided
at the top of the basins to serve as protection to the public from the safety hazards
inherent with standing water in the basin.
Maintenance of the extended detention basin will be the responsibility of the
Homeowners Association until the time at which the City of Carlsbad assumes
maintenance responsibilities. For proper maintenance to be performed, the storm
water treatment facility must be accessible to both maintenance personnel and their
equipment and materials.
Factors that affect the operational perfomiance of a volume-based extended
detention ponds include mowing, control of pond vegetation, removal of accumulated
bottom sediments, removal of debris from all inflow and outflow structures,
unclogging of orifice perforations, etc. Periodic inspections should be performed
following each significant storm. These basins should be inspected at least twice a
year to evaluate facility operation.
Periodic inspections of both Water Quality Basins should be performed at regular
intervals throughout the year. Additional inspections will be required after major
rainfall events (defined per this Maintenance Plan as 24-hour rainfall events in
excess of 1 inch).
During the periodic and post-major event rainfall inspections, the inspector must
identify any repairs and maintenance activities deemed necessary, including the
removal of trash, debris, and sediment from the upper chamber of the basin area.
All riser orifices should be unclogged during the periodic and post-rainfall inspections.
A Registered Civil Engineer will conduct an annual inspection of each basin. This
inspection will include a thorough inspection of the basin area, outlet structure and
internal gabion structure. The engineer will identify any required repairs as well as
corrective maintenance activity required to maintain the hydraulic performance of the
basins. Annual maintenance activities will include the removal of the heavy
vegetation that will inevitably grow in the basin. Roughly !4 half of the vegetation
should be removed from the basin at each annual maintenance session, including all
woody or aquatic vegetation and other obstructions to flow. All sediment, trash, and
debris should be removed from the upper and lower chambers of the basin at the
annual maintenance session.
Sediment removed during periodic, post-major rainfall event, and annual
maintenance can be placed in a sanitary landfill or used for composting activities. If
no basin maintenance takes places for a period of longer than 1 year, then trapped
pollutants may be deemed hazardous and special requirements may apply to
disposal activities. In such a case, removals would require testing prior to disposal in
a sanitary landfill.

Storm Water Management Plan
Chapter 6 - FLOW-BASED BMPs
6.1 - Design Criteria
Flow-based BMPs shall be designed to mitigate the maximum flowrate of runoff
produced from a rainfall intensity of 0.2 inch per hour. Such basins utilize either
mechanical devices (such as vaults that produce vortex effects) or non-mechanical
devices (based on weir hydraulics and specially designed filters) to promote settling
and removal of pollutants from the runoff.
Per the request of the City of Carlsbad, 85"^ percentile flow calculations were
performed using the Rational Method. The basic Rational Method runoff procedure is
as follows:
Design flow (Q) = C * I * A
Runoff Coefficient (C) - In accordance with the County of San Diego standards, the
weighted runoff coefficient for all the areas draining to the treatment unit was
determined using the areas analyzed in the final engineering hydrology report. The
runoff coefficient is based on the following characteristics of the watershed:
Land Use - Single Family Residential in Developed Areas
Soil Type - Hydrologic soil group D was assumed for all areas. Group D soils
have very slow infiltration rates when thoroughly wetted. Consisting chiefly of
clay soils with a high swelling potential, soils with a high permanent water
table, soils with clay pan or clay layer at or near the surface, and shallow soils
over nearly impervious materials. Group D soils have a very slow rate of water
transmission.
Rainfall Intensity (I) - Regional Water Quality Control Board regulations and NPDES
criteria have established that flow-based BMPs shall be designed to mitigate a rainfall
intensity of 0.2 inch per hour.
Watershed Area (A) - Corresponds to total area draining to treatment unit.
6.2 - Vortechs Treatment Units
The Vortechs Storm Water Treatment System is designed to efficiently remove grit,
contaminated sediments, metals, hydrocarbons and floating contaminants from
surface runoff. Combining swirl-concentrator and flow-control technologies to
eliminate turbulence within the system, the Vortechs System ensures the effective
capture of sediment and oils and prevents resuspension of trapped pollutants for
flows up to 25 cfs.

Storm Water Management Plan
Other features of the Vortechs Systems include the following:
Large capacity system provides an 80 percent net annual Total Suspended
Solids (TSS) removal rate
Unit is installed below grade
Low pump-out volume and one-point access reduce maintenance costs
Design prevents oils and other floatables from escaping the system during
cleanout
Enhanced removal efficiencies of nutrients and heavy metals with offline
configuration
The tangential inlet to the system creates a swirling motion that directs settleable
solids into a pile towards the center of the grit chamber. Sediment is caught in the
swirling flow path and settles back onto the pile after the storm event is over.
Floatable entrapment is achieved by sizing the low flow control to create a rise in the
water level of the vault that is sufficient to just submerge the inlet pipe with the 85"^
percentile flow.

6.4 - Maintenance Requirements
Flow-based storm water treatment devices should be inspected periodically to assure
their condition to treat anticipated runoff. Maintenance of the proposed Vortechnics
units includes inspection and maintenance 1 to 4 times per year.
Maintenance of the Vortechs units involves the use of a "vactor truck", which clears
the grit chamber of the treatment unit by vacuuming all the grit, oil and grease, and
water from the sump. Typically a 3-man crew is required to perfomi the maintenance
of the treatment unit. Properly maintained Vortechs Systems will only require
evacuation of the grit chamber portion of the system. In some cases, it may be
necessary to pump out all chambers. In the event of cleaning other chambers, it is
imperative that the grit chamber be drained first.
Proper inspection includes a visual observation to ascertain whether the unit is
functioning properly and measuring the amount of deposition in the unit. Floatables
should be removed and sumps cleaned when the sump storage exceeds 85 percent
of capacity specifically, or when the sediment depth has accumulated within 6 inches
of the dry-weather water level. The rate at which the system collects pollutants will
depend more heavily on site activities than the size of the unit.

Chapter 7 - SOURCE CONTROL BMPs
7.1 - Landscaping
Manufactured slopes shall be landscaped with suitable ground cover or installed with
an erosion control system. Homeowners should be educated as to the proper routine
maintenance to landscaped areas including trimming, pruning, weeding, mowing,
replacement or substitution of vegetation in ornamental and required landscapes.
Per the RWQCB Order, the following landscaping activities are deemed unlawful and
are thus prohibited:
Discharges of sediment
Discharges of pet waste
Discharges of vegetative clippings
Discharges of other landscaping or construction-related wastes.
7.2 - Urban Housekeeping
Fertilizer applied by homeowners, in addition to organic matter such as leaves and
lawn clippings, all result in nutrients in storm water runoff. Consumer use of
excessive herbicide or pesticide contributes toxic chemicals to runoff. Homeowners
should be educated as to the proper application of fertilizers and herbicides to lawns
and gardens.
The average household contains a wide variety of toxins such as oil/grease,
antifreeze, paint, household cleaners and solvents. Homeowners should be
educated as to the proper use, storage, and disposal of these potential storm water
runoff contaminants.
Per the RWQCB Order, the following housekeeping activities are deemed unlawful
and are thus prohibited:
Discharges of wash water from the cleaning or hosing of impervious surfaces
including parking lots, streets, sidewalks, driveways, patios, plazas, and
outdoor eating and drinking areas (landscape irrigation and lawn watering, as
well as non-commercial washing of vehicles in residential zones, is exempt
from this restriction)
Discharges of pool or fountain water containing chloride, biocides, or other
chemicals
Discharges or runoff from material storage areas containing chemicals, fuels,
grease, oil, or other hazardous materials
Discharges of food-related wastes (grease, food processing, trash bin wash
water, etc.).

7.3 - Automobile Use
Urban pollutants resulting from automobile use include oil, grease, antifreeze,
hydraulic fluids, copper from brakes, and various fuels. Homeowners should be
educated as to the proper use, storage, and disposal of these potential storm water
contaminants.
Per the RWQCB Order, the following automobile use activities are deemed unlawful
and are thus prohibited:
Discharges of wash water from the hosing or cleaning of gas stations, auto
repair garages, or other types of automotive service facilities.
Discharges resulting from the cleaning, repair, or maintenance of any type of
equipment, machinery, or facility including motor vehicles, cement-related
equipment, port-a-potty servicing, etc.
Discharges of wash water from mobile operations such as mobile automobile
washing, steam cleaning, power washing, and carpet cleaning.
The Homeowners Association should make all homeowners aware of the
aforementioned RWQCB regulations through a homeowners' education program. A
monitoring program should also be implemented to insure compliance.

Chapter 8 - SITE BMP DESIGN
EXTENDED DETENTION BASIN
8.1 - BMP Location
The water quality / regional detention facility is located at the downstream (south) end
of Neighborhood 3.12 (see BMP Location Map on the following page). Runoff from
Neighborhoods 3.08, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14 and 3.15 drains to this location.
Additionally, runoff from a large offsite area will also drain to the basin area. The
combined watershed area draining the basin was determined to be 401 acres.
8.2 - Determination of Treatment Volume
Per the "Addendum to Preliminary Hydrology Study for Villages of La Costa - The
Ridge and The Oaks (dated October 23, 2001)," HEC-HMS output shows the
drainage area to the regional detention / water quality basin is 401 acres. The
corresponding time of concentration (from a previous Rational Method analysis
contained within the "Preliminary Hydrology Study for Villages of La Costa - The
Ridge and The Oaks" is 22.3 minutes.
Using the 85th percentile rainfall of 0.68 inches (see Ispoluvial Map at the end of this
chapter) and assuming 20 percent imperviousness in the contributing watershed,
HEC-HMS calculations predicted an 85**^ percentile runoff volume of roughly 3.0 acre-
feet.
8.3 - Water Qualitv Basin Design
The water quality / detention basin exhibit included in this chapter shows that the
riser makes this basin double as a detention and water quality basin. The riser will
extend from the basin bottom elevation of 285 feet to a top elevation of 293 feet.
Detention basin stage-storage calculations (included in this chapter) show that no
storage effects were considered below the riser top elevation of 293 feet. In other
words, peak flow attenuation was attained in the basin storage area above the Water
Quality Basin (above elevation 293 feet)
The stage-storage data shows that the water quality basin area has a peak storage
volume of 2.97 acre-feet at the riser top elevation of 293 feet. The total basin storage
volume for detention (above elevation 293 feet) is 7.65 acre-feet.
Stage-discharge data for the riser dewatering (included in this chapter) shows that
the peak outflow from the water quality basin area is 9 cfs at elevation 293 feet. At
lower elevations in the Water Quality Basin, the corresponding outflow is less (for
instance, the discharge rate at elevation 288 feet is 2.4 cfs).

VORTECHS TREATMENT UNITS
9.1 - BMP Locations
The site design includes four Vortechs treatment units (shown on BMP Location
Maps located on the following pages.
Portions of Neighborhood 3.08 drain to the San Marcos Creek watershed via
an existing inlet to the old Rancho Santa Fe storm drain system. Prior to
discharge to the existing storm drain system, 85"^ percentile runoff will be
treated in an offline Vortechs Model 2000 (near Paseo Conifera). In developed
conditions, the developed condition drainage area from the site area to the
San Marcos Creek watershed is roughly 24 acres.
Runoff from Neighborhood 3.09 discharges to a stomn drain system
constructed along with the new alignment of Rancho Santa Fe Road. Prior to
discharge to the Rancho Santa Fe storm drain system, 85"^ percentile flow will
be treated in an offline Vortechs Model 1000. In developed conditions, the
contributing drainage area to this treatment unit is roughly 14 acres.
At the southeast corner of the Oaks South site, a 5-acre watershed discharges
to a side canyon near Avenida Junipero. Prior to discharge to the natural
canyon, 85"^ percentile flow will be treated in an offline Vortechs Model 1000.
Runoff from street areas not reaching the Water Quality Basin will be treated
in an offline Vortechs Model in La Costa Avenue. The developed area from La
Costa Oaks South to this treatment unit is 2 acres.
9.2 - Determination of Design Treatment Flows
The 85"^ percentile design flow rates have been calculated using the Rational
Method. Required data for the Rational Method treatment flow determination include
the following:
Runoff Coefficient I
Rainfall Intensity (I) = 0.20 inches per hour
Drainage area to treatment unit (A)
Runoff coefficients were derived based upon a weighted average of each area
tributary to the treatment unit and the associated runoff coefficient.

1) Initial Wet Weather Phase
During a twonnonth storm event the water level begins to
rise above the top of the inlet pipe. This influent control
feature reduces turbulence and avoids resuspension
of pollutants.
3) Full Capacity Phase
When the high-flow outlet approaches full discharge, sbonn
drains are flowing at peak capacity. The \A:rtechs System is
designed to match your design storm flow and provide treat
ment throughout the range of storm events without bypass-
ing. To accommodate very high flow rates, Vortechnics can
assist designers with configuring a peak-flow bypass.
Flow Control Chamber'-f**'° i
The weir and qrifice flow controls:
1) Raise level and volume in the^j, « ^
fe^ system as flow rate increases'; and
2] gradually drain the system" as""
flow rate subsides. ' . t IA
2) Transition Phase
As the inflow rate increases above the controlled outflow
rate, the tank fills and the floating contaminant layer accu-
mulated from past storms rises. Swiriing action increases
at this stage, while sediment pile remains stable.
4) Storm Subsidence Phase/Cleaning
Treated runoff is decanted at a controlled rate, restoring the
water level to a low dryweather volume and revealing a conical
pile of sediment. The low water level facilitates inspection and
cleaning, and significantly reduces maintenance costs. The
system's central baffle prevents transfer of floatables to the
outlet during cleaning or during the next storm.

Sizing the SystPm
Each system is custom designed based on the design conditions provided The weir orifice
sump depth, and height of tank will vary depending on the site condifions and per^SrmS
Standi. ^I^' ""^ '?';r' ^'^^^'r '^^^^^ height of the un t'me surnp depth, and the placement of the weir and orifice. Also affecfing the placement of the weir and
VORTECHS™ STORMWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
orifice is the pipe size, the orientafion of the internal walls, and the potential for tailwater. The
flow rates determine the size of the weir, orifice, and the baffle opening.
Siz§: The size of the system depends on whether or not the system is on-line or off-line. An
on-line system will be chosen such that the design flow rate is equal to or less then the
Vortechs rated design flow. For an ofl'-line system, the 2-month flow rate is determined and the
model number is chosen based on the grit chamber area such that 24 gpm/sf of flow is realized
through the chamber.
Sunm: Typically a three-foot sump depth is provided in Vortechs Systems. This depth is most
common since it provides ample sediment storage and keeps the excavation depth to a
minimum. However, because each Vortechs System is custom designed, the individual sump
depths may vary to balance maintenance costs with capital costs.
prifice: The function of the orifice is to raise the water level in the Vortechs System. This
increases the area of the flow in the pipe, which decreases the velocity of the water flowing into
the system. A reduction in turbulence is realized at the inlet; this aids in keeping the trapped
sediment and floatables contained. In addition, the rise in water level causes the floatables to
rise above the inlet and away from the baffle opening, thus preventing the floatables from
becoming re-entrained and pulled under the baffle wall. The orifice is designed to pass a fiow
approximately equal to that of a 2-month storm event.
Weir: Any event greater than the 2-month event causes the water level in the Vortechs System
to rise to the upper flow control, submerging the inlet. The upper flow control is normally a
Cippoletti weir. A Cippoletti weir is a trapezoidal weir with 4 to 1 sloping sides. Like the orifice,
the weir also causes the water level in the system to rise, which promotes sediment and
floatable removal. As the water rises, the volume of water in the system increases, thus
stabilizing the detention time and allowing sediment to settle out. The swiri is maintained by
allowing continuous flow through the system via the weir and orifice. The weir is sized to pass
the design flow rate minus the orifice flow at full head.
Baffle: The baffle opening is designed to maintain a velocity such that re-entrainment of
floatables and re-suspension of sediment is minimized. The baffle opening is at least 6 inches
to ensure against clogging. The largest opening of 15 inches is chosen to maximize the
distance between the floatable layer and the baffle opening. This keeps the floatables trapped
and maintains the oil storage volume. In most applications, the flow under the baffle wall is
approximately 1.0 foot per second.
Bypass: For systems in an off-line configuration, a weir crest length and elevation is calculated
for the diversion stnjcture that will be installed upstream of the specified Vortechs System. The
goal is to achieve a water surface elevation during the 100-year storm that is at the same
elevation as the top of the Vortechs Cippoletti weir. The area of flow over the bypass weir is
calculated based on the 100-year flow. From this area, the height of flow is solved for a given
weir length. Since the area of flow remains constant, the height of flow over the weir varies with
the bypass weir length. See Tecfinical Bulletin 3A for more information.

Cleaning
Cleanout of the Vortechs System with a vacuum truck is generally the most effective and
convenient method. Cleanout should not occur within 6 houre of a rain event to allow the entire
collection system to drain down. Property maintained Vortechs Systems will only require
evacuation of the grit chamber portion of the system, in which case only the manhole cover
