Relationship to state manual

independent

“Implementation of the source control and structural treatment control BMPs in this Manual will reduce pollutant loads in stormwater runoff ... to meet National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements.”
Section 1.1, Page 1-1

Design Criteria

Design storm return periods (years)

2-year, 5-year, 25-year, 100-year

“structures designed to detain runoff volumes for the 5, 25 or 100-year storm”
Section 3.3, Page 3-7

Water quality volume method

Volume-based BMPs sized using WQV = (P × RV × A) / 12, where P = 0.60 inches (90th percentile precipitation depth from Reno-Tahoe International Airport data) and RV = 0.05 + 0.009I (percent impervious). Flow-based BMPs sized using WQF = peak discharge from the 2-year storm via the Rational Method (Q = CIA).

“WQV = (P*RV*A)/12 ... P = 90th percentile precipitation depth (0.60 inches) ... When 'I' equals the rainfall intensity for the 2-year storm event, Q2 = WQF.”
Section 6.3.1–6.3.2, Pages 6-3 to 6-5

Peak flow calculation method(s)

Rational Method, NRCS TR-55 Method, HEC-1

“For drainage areas greater than 100 acres, peak flow rates should be estimated using the NRCS TR-55 Method or HEC-1.”
Section 6.3.1, Page 6-4
