Design Criteria

Design storm return periods (years)
2-year, 5-year, 10-year, 25-year, 50-year, 100-year

10-year, 25-year, 50-year, and 100-year peak flow runoff within the boundaries of subdivisions and developments

Drainage Regulation intent

Water quality volume method
DD6 Drainage Criteria Manual focuses on peak-flow conveyance and on-site detention/retention using Atlas 14 rainfall (10-/25-/50-/100-year 24-hour distributions). Explicit post-construction WQv depth is not a primary DD6 criterion; City of Beaumont MS4 SWMP is separate. Where City of Beaumont criteria conflict with DD6, the more restrictive applies.

No evidence cited

Peak flow calculation method(s)
NOAA Atlas 14 precipitation-frequency (Texas Vol.11), Rational Method intensity coefficients (Table 4-3), On-site detention/retention routing (Ch.10), 10-/25-/50-/100-year peak flow conveyance within and from developments

hypothetical 24-hr, 10-year, 25-year, 50-year, and 100-year storm rainfall distribution based on the Atlas 14 report
