SPS 382.36(5) (5)Input calculations.
SPS 382.36(5)(a) (a) Peak flow. The peak flow of stormwater influent to a plumbing system shall be calculated using any of the following methods:
SPS 382.36(5)(a)1. 1. `Area method.' For sizing of conveyance piping, when calculating stormwater peak flow based on the tributary area, the area in square feet shall be divided by the following applicable divisors:
SPS 382.36(5)(a)1.a. a. For roofs the divisor is 26 square feet/gpm.
SPS 382.36(5)(a)1.b. b. For paved or graveled ground surfaces the divisor is 32.5 square feet/gpm.
SPS 382.36(5)(a)1.c. c. For lawns, parks and similar land surfaces the divisor is 104 square feet/gpm.
SPS 382.36 Note Note: For example, 10,000 square feet of roof area/26 square feet/gpm = 385 gpm or 0.85 cubic feet/second.
SPS 382.36(5)(a)2. 2. `Rational method.' For calculating peak flow, the intensity shall be determined using the time of concentration for the tributary area.
SPS 382.36 Note Note: For the equation procedure for runoff coefficients for use with the rational method, refer to ch. SPS 382 Appendix A-382.36 (5)-1.
SPS 382.36(5)(a)3. 3. `Engineering analysis method.' An engineering analysis shall be based on an analysis provided by a Wisconsin registered architect, registered professional engineer, or permitted designer of engineering systems - plumbing, or an approved alternate standard per s. SPS 381.20 (2) based on the peak flow calculated in accordance with sub. (3) (a).
SPS 382.36 Note Note: A model that calculates peak flow such as SWMM, TR-20, TR-55, P8 or an equivalent methodology may be used.
SPS 382.36(5)(b) (b) Volume. The volume of stormwater influent to a plumbing system shall be based on an analysis provided by a Wisconsin registered architect, registered professional engineer, or permitted designer of engineering systems – plumbing, or an approved alternate standard per s. SPS 381.20 (2) and a minimum of a two-year, 24-hour storm event and designed so that no property damage occurs at 100-year, 24-hour storm event with a Type II distribution.
SPS 382.36 Note Note: For runoff coefficients and use of other methods or models, refer to ch. SPS 382 Appendix A-382.36 (5)-2 and A-382.36 (5)-3.
SPS 382.36 Note Note: The intensity of rainfall varies considerably during a storm as well as geographic regions. To represent various regions of the United States, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) developed four synthetic 24-hour rainfall distribution types from available National Weather Service (NWS) duration-frequency data (Hershfield 1961; Frederick et al., 1977) or local storm data. Type IA is the least intense and type II is the most intense short duration rainfall. Types I and IA represent the Pacific maritime climate with wet winters and dry summers. Type III represents Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coastal areas where tropical storms bring large 24-hour rainfall amounts. Type II represents the rest of the country, including Wisconsin. For more information, see the USDA-NRCS webpage: http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/.
SPS 382.36(5)(c) (c) Additional inputs to stormwater systems. Additional inputs to stormwater systems shall be estimated based on anticipated flows and volumes.
