The SEDCAD program was used to design the sedimentation ponds. SEDCAD cannot directly model a pond with a gated principal spillway. This is due to the fact that SEDCAD cannot calculate the sedimentology without outflow. But the following 3 step simulation methodology addresses this issue. The methodology was recommended by Professor Warner, the SEDCAD developer. The details of 3 steps are described for Pond NHN- 001 as an example: 1) Model the un -gated pond with the combination of principal and emergency spillways to determine the sediment storage and elevation. The first SEDCAD report in Appendix 2.05.3(4) -2 titled as "10 -Year 24 -hour Storm Event for Pond NHN- 001" is used to determine the following parameters in Table 3. • Contribution area of 114.9 acres and • Runoff Volume of 10.92 ac -ft from Structure Summary on page 4 The Sediment Storage Volume and Sediment Storage Elevation are 0.77 ac -ft and 5676.02 ft, respectively from the Structure Detail on page 6. 3
