Pond No. 004 - East Ditch <br /> In order to contain runoff from the existing reclaimed, a contour ditch <br /> is required along the reclaimed area east of Pond No. 004, flowing into <br /> Pond No. 004 (see Exhibit 13-4) . <br /> For the design of the contour ditch, the SEDIMOT II model was used to <br /> predict the runoff from the watershed (see Addendum D for the batch <br /> input and output, respectively) . The 10-year, 24-hour precipitation <br /> event was used in the design, which is a conservative approach to a <br /> temporary ditch. <br /> Following is a list of the main input factors which were derived in the <br /> same manner to the factors of Pond No. 004: <br /> Input East Ditch <br /> Precipitation 1.60" <br /> Drainage Area 6.3 ac <br /> CN 81 <br /> L 0.186 miles <br /> H 95 ft. <br /> tc 0.064 <br /> Output <br /> Q (cfs) 2.6 cfs <br /> Based on these discharges, the Dodson and Associates, Inc. 's computer <br /> software was used to design the ditches based on Manning's equation <br /> calculations. <br /> Two ditch designs are proposed for the east ditches. Based on the <br /> critical slope calculations for the ditch, a ditch section will be <br /> constructed with riprap or without riprap, depending on whether the <br /> ditch' s slope is steeper or flatter than critical slope. Each ditch <br /> will have a minimum of one foot of freeboard included in the total <br /> depth. This will allow the ditch to be field-located as close as <br /> practical to the reclamation area, but still control all runoff and <br /> direct the flow to Pond 004 (See Exhibit 13-4) . <br /> Following is a summary of "Alternative A" and "Alternative B" ditch <br /> design to be used for East Ditch. <br /> 11 <br />
