The pond <br />will be located on 60 acres of agricultural land immediately south of Frederick as shown <br />on the attached site map. It will have the capacity to store 146 acre-feet during the 100- <br />year storm event. Maximum inflow to the pond during the 100-year storm event will be _ <br />about 2,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) and the pond will be designed for a maximum .. <br />release rate of 567 cfs thus providing significant attenuation of the peak discharge. The <br />pond is designed to drain in about 40 hours and the project site will be used for open <br />space and recreational purposes when the pond is empty. The pond will also serve to <br />reduce the volume of pollution from storm water runoff by providing detention and <br />settling of runoff, <br /> <br />Estimated Project Cost: $2,065,478 <br /> <br />Fundinl! Reauested: $1,500,000 <br /> <br />e <br />
