Drainage Desiqn Example. An example drainage design calculation was conducted as follows. Curve <br />numbers and slopes for each area are determined by existing ground cover conditions and topography at <br />the time the drainage is deemed ready for construction. In this example the check dam and dozer basin <br />requirements for a 306 acre drainage are examined. The chart below gives the breakdown of sub parcels <br />by reclamation stage. <br />Acres <br />Curve Number <br />Slope <br />Weighted average curve numbers and slopes are calculated for the entire watershed. The weighted <br />average curve number for this example watershed is 82; the weighted average slope is 7.56%, rounded <br />up to 8%. <br />Based on the model in Appendix Q, Section 37, by Tom Peterson of Environmental Solutions, the number <br />of acres that can be accounted for per each check dam is calculated. This calculation is determined in <br />part by the storage capacity created by each check dam based on typical check dam construction <br />methods, the slope of the drainage channel, and the amount of detention required to meet velocity, <br />sediment, and effluent regulatory standards. <br />The charts below display the relationship of the aforementioned values in table 4.8-5a when applied to the <br />specific drainage conditions outlined in this example. <br />Curve Number, Acres per Check Dam, and Check Dams Required for 306 <br />Subwatershed details <br />CN <br />Disturbed <br />Retopsoiled <br />and Seeded <br />1 year <br />growth <br />2 year <br />growth <br />125.0 <br />80.0 <br />45.0 <br />56.0 <br />87 <br />86 <br />80 <br />67 <br />6.4 <br />9.3 <br />8.4 <br />7.0 <br />Weighted average curve numbers and slopes are calculated for the entire watershed.
