1999 Yaart Mdne * 13-Y2 Drainare and Sediment Control P/an r2 <br />choose between the Natural Resources Consetvarion Service (MRCS - foanally SCS) type I, type IA, type II, type III, <br />ox user defined stomp unit mass curves. The type II distribution was input as an estimation of the area stoma. • <br />2.2 STORM DURATION <br />A stomp duration of 24 hoots was used for the design and evaluation of the Yoast Mine sedimentation ponds and <br />ditches. <br />2.3 RETURN PERIOD/PRECIPITATION <br />A preapitarion amount is required for the appropriate retain period. The following retain periods and precipitation <br />events were used for the Yoas[ Mine: <br />10-yeaz, 24hour storm event 1.7 in <br />25-yeaz, 24hour storm event 2.1 in <br />2.4 Hydrograph Response Shape <br />A unit hydrograph shape is chosen fox each drainage azea or sub-area modeled to predict the runoff response. The <br />hydrograph responses available in the SEDCAD4 model aze slow, medium, and fast A slow response corresponds to <br />a forested azea or an azea with a number of obstructions. A fast response corresponds to an un-vegetated or poorly <br />protected area. A medium response corresponds to average conditions and was used for the Yoast site. <br />The intemal convolution increment is 0.05 hoots, and values are saved at the user-specified interval of 0.1 hours or <br />greater. A convolution increment of 0.1 was spedfied for the subject site. It should be noted that a time of <br />concentration less than 0.125 hours bypasses the unit hydrograph technique and instantaneous runoff is assumed. As <br />exp]ained in the SEDCAD4 Useis Manual (Schwab and Wamer,1998), the time of concentration restriction of 0.125 • <br />hoots is somewhat mandated due to a combination of array size restrictions, minimum internal convolution interval, <br />and the user speafied time increment for saving convoluted values. <br />2.5 DRAINAGE BASIN AREA <br />The drainage basin areas were determined by digitizing directly from scaled drawings. The watersheds were located <br />based on azea topography and separated by conditions representing various stages of disturbance. <br />2.6 TIME OF CONCENTRATION, T~ <br />The time of concentration was calcuated using the NRCS upland method (NAGS, 1986). The hydraulic lengths, <br />drainage heights and associated slopes were determined from scaled drawings. The values calculated for each <br />structure are shown on a subwatershed basis in the SEDCAD4 printouts. Overland flow conditions were assumed <br />for a maximum of 400 feet <br />2.7 MUSKINGUM ROUTING PARAMETERS, K, X <br />The Musldngwn Routing Parameters were also calculated using the NRCS upland method. The hydraulic lengths, <br />drainage heights and associated slopes were detemvned from scaled drawings.
