u <br />U <br />New Horizon 2 <br />Reclaimed San Miguel Power Drainage Channel Design <br />Introduction <br />The design of the reclaimed drainage channel in the New Horizon 2 permit area was based on DMG <br />regulations for conveyance of overland flow of watersheds less than one square mile. The reclaimed <br />channel is shown on Map 2.05.4-2 between points CC to CC'. The premine drainage channel slope is <br />3.70 percent and the postmining drainage channel will be 3.70 percent. <br />Design <br />Far the design of this reclaimed channel, the SEDCAD + model was used to predict runoff from the <br />watershed (see Attachment C). A 10-year, 24-hour precipitation event was used in the design. The peak <br />flow was determined at the downstream end of the drainage channel. Following is a list of main input <br />factors. <br />Input Channel CC-CC' <br />Precipitation 2.0 in <br />Drainage Area 89.26 ac <br />CN 81 <br />~ 2300 ft <br />Y 85 ft <br />OutDUt <br />O 32.55 cfs <br />Based on this discharge, SEDCAD+ was used to design the reclaimed drainage channel bottom width <br />based on Manning's equation calculation. The shape of the channel was assumed to be trapezoidal with <br />10h:1 v side slopes. The channel bottom width was increased to insure that the peak velocity was below <br />the limiting velocity of 5.0 fps. Below is a summary of the input factors and the results determined by the <br />computer program. <br />(Revised 2/00) <br />ATTACHMENT 2.05.4(2)(C)- 3-1 <br />
