Flatirons, Inc. - Surveying & Engineering <br />designed and evaluated for capacity and stability conditions. The channel capacity is <br />defined by the 100 -year, 24 -hour storm. The minimum required freeboard is 0.5 feet, or <br />one half the velocity head, whichever is greater. This means that whenever the velocity <br />head is greater than 1.0 feet, the open channel freeboard will be defined by the velocity <br />head. Likewise, whenever the velocity head is less than 1.0 feet, the open channel <br />freeboard is 0.5 feet. <br />Freeboard in the contact channels (berm, West TSF, and East TSF) is 0.5 feet. Freeboard <br />in the diversion channels (Upper and East) and the TSF Spillway channel is also 0.5 feet. <br />The freeboard for the Upper and East diversion channels is 0.6 feet and 0.7 feet, <br />respectively. The freeboard for the TSF Spillway channel is 0.8 feet. <br />Riprap will be installed in open channels having velocities greater than 5.0 feet per second. <br />A non -woven geotextile fabric will be placed under the riprap and secured by anchor <br />trenches. 10 -inch riprap (d50) will be installed in all ditches requiring a riprap lining in <br />addition to the TSF Spillway Chute channel. <br />Open channel calculation sheets and a riprap calculation sheet can be found in Appendix B. <br />Open Channel Summary <br />Description <br />Ditch <br />Depth* <br />(ft) <br />Design <br />Peak Q100 <br />(cfs) <br />Max.
