DESIGN ANALYSIS <br /> GENERAL <br /> Sediment Pond 006 was evaluated and redesigned to meet or exceed the <br /> design and performance requirements of the Colorado Mined Land <br /> Reclamation Division while utilizing as much of the existing structure <br /> and topography as was possible. <br /> HYDROLOGY <br /> The hydrology of the watershed was analyzed by utilizing the SEDIMOT II <br /> computer program. In performing this analysis, the characteristics of <br /> the minesite and reclamation procedures along with onsite sediment <br /> control procedures were considered. Addendum A and B contain complete <br /> listings of the SEDIMOT II inputs and outputs for the 10-year, and <br /> 25-year design storms, respectively. Table 1 is a summary of these <br /> results. <br /> TABLE 1 <br /> Design Hydrology and Sedimentology Summary <br /> Structure 006 <br /> DESCRIPTION 10yr-24hr 25yr-24hr <br /> Precipitation Depth 1.60-in. 1.80-in. <br /> Inflow Runoff Volume 4.78-ac-ft 6.63-ac-ft <br /> Pond Volume at Peak Stage 6.93-ac-ft 8.66-ac-ft <br /> Peak Stage 8.72 -ft 9.92-ft <br /> Peak Inflow Rate 28.41-cfs 40.93-cfs <br /> Peak Discharge Rate 0.76-cfs 0.87-cfs <br /> Basin Trap Efficiency 100.00% --- <br /> Detention of Flow (Sediment) 49.70-hrs --- <br /> Detention of Hydrograph Centers 15.52-hrs --- <br /> In determining the hydrology parameters to be used as input to the <br /> SEDIMOT II- computer program, each major watershed was subdivided into <br /> logical junctions, branches, structures, and subwatersheds. The basis <br /> of the subwatershed were drainage boundary, similar soil and vegetation <br /> type, and similar land use. The drainage area for this sediment pond <br /> was measured on 1-inch equals 400-feet and 1-inch equals 2000-feet <br /> topographic maps (see Exhibit 13-4 and Exhibit 13-6, respectively). <br /> 2 <br />
