Design Criteria

Design storm return periods (years)

2-year, 5-year, 10-year, 25-year, 50-year, 100-year

“2-year, 5-year, 10-year, 25-year, 50-year, and 100-year recurrence intervals”
3.8, 5.3, 5.3.5, 4.3.6

Water quality volume method

The daily runoff volume at or below which 91 percent of the total runoff volume for the simulation period occurs, determined by ranking daily runoff volumes and sequentially summing them until the total equals 9 percent of the total volume.

“The daily runoff volume at or below which 91 percent of the total runoff volume for the simulation period occurs, as determined using an approved continuous model.”
