• Time of Concentration. The time of concentration, tc, is defined as the time required for <br />water to flow from the hydraulically most remote point in the watershed to the watershed <br />outlet. <br />The time of concentration for PECOCO was calculated using the Barfield, 1981 method. This <br />formula lends itself to overland flow to an impoundment. <br />tc = L0.8(S + 1)0.7 <br />1140 y0.5 <br />where tc = lag in hours <br />L = hydraulic length of watershed in feet <br />S = maximum retention <br />= 1000 -10 <br />Cry <br />• <br />Y = average land slope in percent <br />where L = 4,150' <br />S = 1000 -10 = 4.492 <br />69 <br />Y = 22@ (Avg.) <br />therefore tc = 0.483 hours <br />• <br />Sedi mentology. The SEDCAD computer program ryas also utilized to calculate the sediment <br />flowing into and through the principal spillway using the DEPOSITS portion of the program. <br />The results show no sediment flowing out of the pond as a result of the 10-year, 24-hour <br />storm (100 Basin crap Efficiency). <br />The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUBLE) was used to tlet ermi ne the sediment <br />loading to the pond to estimate frequency ~~ clea nout. <br />i-5q-13 <br />
