  • Maintaining Your Detention Basin: a Guidebook for Private Owners in Clermont County
    Maintaining Your Detention Basin: A Guidebook for Private Owners in Clermont County A well maintained detention basin BASINS Your detention basin is a storm water best management practice (BMP) designed to tempo- INTRODUCTION rarily capture and hold storm water runoff during periods of heavy rain, and slowly release this flow over a period of one or two days so it minimizes flooding and streambank erosion problems downstream. They also help remove sediments from storm water runoff, which helps improve the quality of local streams. Like most other things, a detention basin may not function properly or it may fail prematurely if not properly maintained. Once a detention basin fails, it is often very expensive to correct. Many detention basins are located on private property, including parcels of land owned and maintained by a homeowners association (HOA). Local governments do not have the au- thority to maintain components of the storm sewer system on private property, including detention basins. Rather, these are the responsibility of the lot owner to maintain. Whether you are an individual property owner, a homeowner’s association representative, or a residential/commercial property manager, this Guidebook will help answer questions and provide you with instructions for basin maintenance activities. Routine maintenance will prolong the life of your detention basin, improve its appearance, help prevent flooding and property damage, and enhance local streams and lakes. WHAT ARE DETENTION BASINS AND WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT? When land is altered to build homes and other developments, the natural system of trees and plants over relatively spongy soil is replaced with harder surfaces like sidewalks, streets, decks, roofs, driveways and even lawns over compacted soils.

  • Chapter 23: Detention Basin Standards
    CHAPTER 23: DETENTION BASIN STANDARDS 23.00 Introduction and Goals 23.01 Administration 23.02 Standards 23.03 Standard Attachments 23.1 City of Champaign Manual of Practice March 2002 Chapter 23: Detention Basin Standards 23.00 INTRODUCTION AND GOALS A. The purpose of this chapter is to explain the City’s policy regarding the ownership, design, construction, and maintenance responsibility for detention basins. Detention basins are used to collect and hold stormwater runoff for a period of time to compensate for increases in stormwater runoff caused by reduced ground surface perviousness due to activities such as paving or building construction. B. Detention basins historically range in size from backyard detention provided by swales, to large regional detention ponds. Detention basins may be wet or dry bottomed. Residential backyard or sideyard single lot detention is not allowed. Construction of detention for individual lots of less than 5 acres is not recommended; alternate methods such as payment in lieu of detention or one basin for the entire subdivision or development are preferred. 23.01 ADMINISTRATION A. This chapter applies to detention basins within the City limits and the 1-1/2 mile extra territorial jurisdiction. B. Detention basin construction is required for certain conditions by the City of Champaign Stormwater Management Regulations. C. Detention basin design shall be reviewed by the City of Champaign through either of the following: 1. Subdivision plan review 2. Grading and drainage plan review 3. Alternate construction plan review (typically public improvements) 23.02 STANDARDS The following standards apply to detention basins: A. Referenced Standards: Design standards for detention basin design and construction shall comply with the provisions of the following, unless otherwise stated by this manual.

  • Little Hunting Creek Watershed Management Plan
    Appendix A - Glossary A Acre: A measure of land equating to 43,560 square feet. Average Land Cover Conditions: The average percent of impervious area within the county, as set forth in the Fairfax County Public Facilities Manual. B Benthic Macroinvertebrate: An aquatic animal lacking a backbone and generally visible to the unaided eye. Best Management Practice (BMP): A structural or nonstructural practice that is designed to minimize the impacts of changes in land use on surface and groundwater systems. Struc- tural best management practices refer to basins or facilities engineered for the purpose of reducing the pollutant load in stormwater runoff, such as bioretention, constructed stormwater wetlands, etc. Nonstructural best management practices refer to land use or development practices that are determined to be effective in minimizing the impact on receiv- ing stream systems such as the preservation of open space and stream buffers, disconnection of impervious surfaces, etc. Bioretention Basin: A water quality best management practice engineered to filter the water quality volume through an engineered planting bed, consisting of a vegetated surface layer (vegetation, mulch, ground cover), planting soil, and sand bed (optional), and into the in-situ material. Also called rain gardens. Bioretention Filter: A bioretention basin with the addition of a sand layer and collector pipe system beneath the planting bed. Buffer: An area of natural or established vegetation managed to protect other components of a resource protection area and state waters from significant degradation due to land disturbances. See also resource protection area and riparian buffer. C Capacity: The amount of water that a channel can accommodate up to its bank full condi- tion, which is dependent on its slope, roughness characteristics, and geometric shape.

Emphasis should be placed on detention and storage of rainfall to mitigate increased runoff due to development. This should result in a reduction of increased development runoff and related damage to downstream properties. 1.2 Conditions 1. The design provided by the Project Engineer should demonstrate: A. The streets function as part of the storm water system. The computed amount of runoff in streets should not exceed the requirements set forth herein. B. Gutters and intakes are adequately designed to prevent excessive flooding of streets and parking. C. Culverts and storm pipes are designed to accommodate the design storm. D. Adequate overland relief is present for storms larger than the design storm. Channels and respective easements are adequately sized. E. Street grades are coordinated with lot drainage. Lot drainage slopes should not be less than 1.5 percent. 1) Where such slopes are not possible in rear and side yards, spot elevations and flow arrows should be included at each rear lot corner and at the midpoint of the side yard line.

  • Instream Sediment Detention Basins
    INSTREAM SEDIMENT DETENTION BASINS 1 DESCRIPTION OF TECHNIQUE This technique describes the design and construction of instream sediment detention basins, or gravel traps, to capture excess sediment within the stream and store it for later removal. The user of this manual should have arrived at this technique only after developing a thorough understanding of sediment sources and depositional patterns, and only after exhausting all other alternatives to deal with an undesirable abundance of sediment in a particular reach. This technique addresses only the symptom of excessive sediment accumulation, not the root cause, and should be used only as a last resort to provide a short-term solution while a long-term solution is being implemented. Sediment detention basins can provide an alternative to chronic widespread dredging. This discussion of in-channel sediment detention is intended to supplement the Aquatic Habitat Guidelines’ Freshwater Gravel Mining and Dredging Issues white paper1. Stream sediments range from very fine-grained materials carried in suspension as turbidity, to large boulders. In-channel sediments may come from mass wasting directly into the stream (colluvial sources), they may mobilize from the bed and banks of the stream as the channel migrates in response to high flows (alluvial sources), or they may wash into the stream from the uplands and tributary streams. A river in equilibrium can be viewed conceptually as a conveyor belt moving sediment downstream. All stream systems transport a characteristic range of sediment sizes as a natural geomorphic function. These sediments make up the streambed and bar forms, define much of the channel morphology, and provide many aquatic habitat elements2 3.

  • 4.7 Sediment Traps and Basins
    4.7 Sediment Traps and Basins General Information The purpose of a temporary trap or basin is to provide an area where muddy runoff is allowed to pond, so sediment will settle out. Sediment traps and basins should be installed in selected drainage areas before excavation or fill work begins. Do not depend on sediment traps and basins alone to control sediment loss from your construction site. Sediment basins and traps should fill with muddy runoff during and immediately after a rain storm and drain down slowly over the next 1–2 days. Containment for the ponding area can be provided by an excavation or a dike made of earth or stone. Low-lying sites on the downhill side of bare soil areas are ideal places to install temporary sediment traps and basins. In general, sediment traps are designed to treat runoff from about 1 to 5 acres. Sediment basins are larger, and serve areas larger than 5 acres. Basins draining areas larger than 10 acres require an engineered design and are often designed to function as a permanent stormwater treatment pond after construction is complete. If feasible, do not put sediment traps or basins in or next to flowing streams or other waterways. Make sure pooled water does not flood buildings, roadways, utilities, or other structures. Construction of a permanent, stable outlet is key to long-term performance. Temporary Sediment Traps Any depression, swale, or low-lying place that receives muddy flows from exposed soil areas can serve as a sediment trap site. Installing several small traps at strategic locations is often better than building one large basin.

It was funded as a cooperative effort between the Village of North Barrington, the Barrington Area Conservation Trust, the Barrington Area Council of Governments and the Lake County Stormwater Management Commission. This project was funded by a grant from the Lake County Stormwater Management Commission.

Village of North Barrington Page i Village of North Barrington Foreword Watershed BMP Handbook Foreword Preface A watershed is all of the land that drains into a single body of water, such as a lake, stream or wetland. Because water generally flows downhill, watershed boundaries are typically located on top of ridges or hills. Rain that falls on one side of a watershed boundary will flow into one body of water, while rain that falls on the other side of a watershed boundary will flow into another. While watershed boundaries can be more difficult to identify in flat terrain, they still exist, often as subtle ridges that traverse the terrain. The Village of North Barrington lies within the Flint Creek Watershed. Before development, the Flint Creek Watershed was Watershed dominated by prairies, savannas, forests, (Source: Lane Council of Governments) marshes, wet meadows and other mature native plant communities.
