This extraction is flagged for quality review.

Compare each cited field to the official PDF before relying on it. What this means

Adoption and revision dates are not explicitly stated as full ISO dates in the provided text, so they were left null. TR-55 outputs carry 1997 and 1998 system dates but do not explicitly represent the legal publication/revision dates of the manual itself. Pipeline excerpt repair removed 1 unlocated citation(s).

Design Criteria

Design storm return periods (years)

1-year, 2-year, 10-year, 100-year

“Rainfall Depths Associated with the 1,2,10 and 100-year, 24-hour Storm Events”
2.11, Table 2.2

Water quality volume method

WQv is calculated as (P)(Rv)(A)/12, where P is the rainfall depth (1.0 inch in the Eastern Rainfall Zone, 0.9 inch in the Western Rainfall Zone), Rv is the volumetric runoff coefficient (0.05 + 0.009 * I), and A is the site area in acres.

“WQv = (1.0) (Rv)(A) Eastern Rainfall Zone ... WQv = (0.9) (Rv)(A) Western Rainfall Zone ... where: WQv = water quality volume (in acre-feet) Rv = 0.05 + 0.009(I)”
2.2, Section 2.1

Peak flow calculation method(s)

TR-55, TR-20

“The models TR-55 and TR-20 (or approved equivalent) shall be used for determining peak discharge rates.”
2.10, Section 2.3

Hydrologic/hydraulic software

TR-20, TR-55

“TR-20 Technical Release No. 20 Project Formulation-Hydrology, computer program TR-55 Technical Release No. 55 Urban Unit Hydrology for Small Watersheds”
1.21, Table 1.3
