I. GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
A. Location
The site is located at 1320 Snowbunny Lane within the City of Aspen, County of Pitkin, State
of Colorado, along the north side of Snowbunny Lane and south of Mountain View Drive.
Although within the City of Aspen, the site is not within the four major drainage basins shown
in the Urban Runoff Management Plan (URMP). The City of Aspen Drainage Basins Map can
be found in the appendices under Aspen Charts and Figures. The property is approximately
1,300 feet west of Castle Creek and 3,000 feet east of Maroon Creek. The Roaring Fork River
lies approximately 1,200 feet north of the property. A Vicinity Map has been included as
Exhibit #1.
B. Description of Existing Property
The site is approximately 15,000 square feet (0.34 acres). The existing lot consists of a single
family residence, deck, gravel driveway, attached garage, landscaping and numerous trees.
The site is bordered by private properties along the north, east and west property lines. The
Snowbunny Lane right-of-way borders the south property line. The site shares the north
property line with two private properties, 1325 Mountain View Drive and 1315 Mountain
View Drive. The site drains north within two existing swales located near the east and west
property lines. The north lane of Snowbunny Lane drains onto the site. Existing grades range
from approximately 1-percent to 6-percent.
C. Soils Description
H-P/Kumar, Inc. on October 5, 2018, project number 18-7-575, completed a site-specific
geotechnical soil study. The geotechnical study describes the site as having 1 to 11/2 feet of
topsoil overlying dense, slightly silty, sandy gravel with cobbles and boulders. There was no
free water encountered in the boring at the time of excavation, and the subsoils were slightly
moist to moist. The report references the City of Aspen soil map to classify the hydrologic
soil group Type C having a moderate infiltration rate. The site percolation test determined an
average percolation rate of less than one inch per minute. The site is also well above the river
elevation, and groundwater was not encountered in the exploratory pits 5 to 6 feet deep. The
City of Aspen soils map locates this site in the Type “C” soils area; however, according to the
USDA Web Soil Survey, the property is within section 107 and the report states that it consists
of soil Type “B”. See USDA Web Soil Survey exhibit #2. The NRCS soil map in the City of
Aspen URMP was last revised in February, 2010 and the NRCS area data from the USDA
Web Soil Survey is from September, 2018. For this reason, the site has been analyzed with
Type “B” soils.

II. DRAINAGE STUDIES
A. Major Drainage Way Planning and Influential Parameters
The site is located within FEMA’s major drainage study of the area on its Flood Insurance
Rate Map (FIRM) No. 08097C0203C which has an effective date of June 4, 1987. The area of
interest within the site is located in Zone X. This zone is described as areas determined to be
outside the 100-year and 500-year floodplains. Refer to Exhibit #3 for the FEMA map.
Mud flow was not analyzed for the site since the site is located outside of the Mud Flow Zone
as indicated in the Storm Drainage Master Plan for the City of Aspen, Colorado by WRC
Engineering, Inc. in November of 2001.
B. Previous Drainage Studies
The site was not within the study area boundary of the November 2001 study completed by
WRC Engineering, Inc. titled, “Storm Drainage Master Plan for the City of Aspen, Colorado”.
There are no previous site specific drainage studies for the site, and the site does not drain to
the storm sewer system for the City of Aspen.
C. Receiving System and Effects of Adjacent Drainage Issues
There are no major drainage issues with the adjacent properties that affect the site or that the
site affects. The existing site discharges runoff to the north property line, primarily where two
swales travel along the east and west property lines to the northeastern and northwestern
corners of the site, where runoff exits the property. From there, runoff flows between the
neighboring properties, 1325 Mountain View Drive and 1315 Mountain View Drive, and
continues north across private properties north of Mountain View Drive. Then stormwater
drains north along Sage Court before travelling northwest on Red Butte Drive. Finally the
runoff flows west and into the Roaring Fork River.
III. DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
A. Criteria
This drainage study was prepared in conformance with the City of Aspen, Colorado Urban
Runoff Management Plan (URMP), dated April of 2010 and the revised sections dated
thereafter. More than 1,000 square feet of area and 25-percent of the entire site will be
disturbed with the proposed construction; therefore, the site is viewed as a Major Project with
water quality required for the entire site per the URMP. Stormwater detention is also required
for the site. The existing site was analyzed in its historic condition (i.e. no improvements).
The offsite basin, consisting of a portion of Snowbunny Lane and R.O.W. landscaping, was
analyzed as existing (impervious area and open space) per the URMP. The onsite water
treatment systems were sized to pass the offsite flow.
05/17/2019
Page 6
j:/sdskproj/218/1041.00/DrainageNarrative.doc
Water Quality Capture Volume (WQCV) will be determined for the entire site, per URMP
standards. The WQCV is defined as the treatment for up to the 80th percentile runoff event,
corresponding to between a 6-month to 1-year event. The WQCV was determined using the
equations and Figure 8.13 from Chapter 8 of the URMP. The WQCV equation is: Volume
(ft3) =WQCV (watershed-inches) x 1/12(ft./in) x area(acres) x 43,560 ft2/acre. The runoff for
the onsite basins will be routed through a series of swales receiving storm water from sheet
flow and downspouts to two bioretention areas/planters, where the runoff will be treated for
WQCV.
B. Hydrologic Criteria
The hydrologic methods for this study are outlined in the URMP from the City of Aspen,
Colorado (April, 2010) and the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for the Rational Method.
The rainfall amounts for each basin were obtained using Figure 2.1 “IDF Curves for Aspen,
Colorado” in the URMP publication from the City of Aspen, Colorado. Using these curves,
the rainfall intensity corresponding to the 2-yr, 1-hr storm 10-yr, 1-hr storm, and 100-yr, 1-hr
storm event were determined based on the time of concentration for each basin.
Figure 3.3 from the URMP was used to determine the runoff coefficients for the 2-year, 10-
year and 100-year storm events since the soils were determined to be type ‘B’ soils.
For areas not capable of discharging runoff into the City’s system without impacting
neighboring properties, detention beyond WQCV is required. The site must meet both water
quality and detention requirements.
The bioretention areas were sized to handle the WQCV, and to detain the 10-year and 100-
year runoff per the URMP. Each pond will have a weir capable of discharging 10-year and
100-year historic release rates. The rational method and the FAA procedure were utilized to
determine required 100-year detention using the historic release rate. Hydrologic calculations
can be found in the appendices.
All charts and figures mentioned from the URMP are located in the last section of the
appendices under the “Aspen Charts/Figures” section.
C. Hydraulic Criteria
The swales, trench drains and weirs within the proposed drainage system have been calculated
utilizing the Hydraflow Express Extension for Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D. All drainage
features and structures have the ability to carry basin design flows anticipated in a major rain
event. Some design flowrates were determined by taking a percentage of the tributary area
within the basin. See basin descriptions below for explanation.

j:/sdskproj/218/1041.00/DrainageNarrative.doc
D. Site Constraints
There are no utilities, streets or structures that cause major site constraints for the drainage
system design. Tree locations were considered during the design process that was adapted to
provide low-impact to site trees.
E. Easements and Irrigation Facilities
There are no major drainage ways, drainage easements or tracts located on the site. There are
also no irrigation facilities onsite that affect the overall proposed development. Existing utility
easements run parallel to the west (5’ offset), north (10’ offset) and east (5’ offset) property
lines.
F. Low Impact Site Design
Two bioretention areas will be implemented to allow for the capture of the required WQCV
and detention per the URMP code. Should the bioretention areas exceed the WQCV and
required detention capacity, runoff will discharge from two weirs at historic site release points
and follow an existing flow path reaching the Roaring Fork River.
G. 9 Principles
The 9 Principles for storm water quality management were followed during the design process
to create the best storm water design and water quality management. The following is a
summary of compliance with the Storm Drainage Principles outlined in the City of Aspen
Urban Runoff Management Plan:
1. Consider storm water quality needs early in the design process
Storm water quality needs were considered early in the design process, as
recommended.
2. Use the entire site when planning for storm water quality treatment.
With the use of two bioretention ponds and vegetated swales, the entire site is
utilized for water quality treatment.
3. Avoid unnecessary impervious area
Efforts were made to avoid unnecessary impervious areas in drainage design.
Existing impervious areas will be redeveloped, but the site will have an overall
increase in impervious area. Impervious area in the Snowbunny R.O.W. has been
reduced by the replacing an existing driveway with two curb-cuts with a narrow
single curb-cut driveway. Permeable pavers capable of treating R.O.W. drainage
have been proposed.
4. Reduce runoff rates and volumes to more closely match natural conditions
Runoff rates and volumes have been reduced, as recommended, by implementing
05/17/2019
Page 8
j:/sdskproj/218/1041.00/DrainageNarrative.doc
two bioretention areas and multiple vegetated swales. All impervious areas will
drain to a bioretention area. Weirs in each bioretention pond provide controlled
release rates at historic release points.
5. Integrate storm water quality management and flood control
Two proposed bioretention areas capture runoff onsite, and have weirs to control
the discharge of overflow. Vegetated swales have been sized to accommodate 2-
year, 10-year and 100-year peak flowrates for the entire basins.
6. Develop storm water quality facilities that enhance the site and environment.
The proposed water quality facilities enhance the site and the environment with
bioretention areas that will become part of the landscape.
7. Use a treatment train approach
The treatment train approach has been implemented by incorporating vegetated
swales that convey all impervious runoff to bioretention areas.
8. Design sustainable facilities that can be safely maintained
The proposed storm water quality facilities have been designed to be easily
accessible and safely maintained, as recommended.
9. Design and maintain facilities with public safety in mind
The proposed storm water quality facilities have been designed with public safety
in mind, as requested.
IV. DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
A. General Concept
The proposed construction calls for the redevelopment existing site. A proposed two-story
duplex, with a basement in the east unit and crawl space in the other, will be constructed after
the removal of the existing residence, attached garage and gravel driveway. The impervious
areas for the entire site will be treated for WQCV by bioretention areas. Runoff will be routed
through sheet flow and drainage swales receiving runoff from downspouts and hardscape.
Offsite stormwater enters the site from a portion of the Snowbunny Lane R.O.W. that is north
of the road centerline. Runoff greater than WQCV and the required detention will leave the
site in historical fashion at the northeast and northwest corners of the property.
B. Historic Drainage Basins Descriptions
The proposed site’s historic drainage pattern is generally from the south to the north and
offsite to adjoining private properties on Mountain View Drive. The existing site has been
analyzed in its historic conditions.
The historic site has been broken into two on-site basins and one off-site. Refer to sheet
05/17/2019
Page 9
j:/sdskproj/218/1041.00/DrainageNarrative.doc
EXDR (exhibit #4) for a map of existing basin layouts. Two swales along the east and west
property lines and low points at the northeast and southeast corners of the lot delineate basins
EX-1 and EX-2 to encompass the entire lot. The basins have also been delineated to split the
lot in half to separately analyze detention requirements for each duplex unit. Drainage design
has been kept separate from the adjoining units for a potential lot split. Basin EXOS-1
encompasses an area south of the lot, as well as areas east and west of the lot where offsite
runoff enters the swales along the east and west property lines.
Historic Flow Path One:
Runoff from basin EX-1 sheet and channel flows north from the southwest corner of the site
before entering the north neighboring property. Design point one has been associated with the
western half of the lot. Basin EX-1 receives additional runoff from off-site basin EXOS-1.
Table 1 below is a summary of the existing basin information.
Historic Flow Path Two:
Runoff from basin EX-2, similarly to basin EX-1, sheet and channel flows from the southwest
corner of the basin to the northeast corner of the site. This basin discharges at the northeast
corner offsite into the north neighboring property of Mountain View Drive. Design point two
has been associated with the eastern half of the lot. Basin EX-2 receives additional runoff from
off-site basin EXOS-1. Table 1 below is a summary of the existing basin information.
There are no negative impacts from the runoff to the adjacent properties. By observing Pitkin
County GIS contours, the runoff appears to flow over permeable land between the neighboring
properties, 1325 Mountain View Drive and 1315 Mountain View Drive, with low discharge
rates. The nearest neighboring residence to the north is approximately 70 feet from the historic
discharge points. No runoff drains directly to any downstream structures. Refer to Exhibit #4
in the appendices for the existing basin delineation and information. Table 1, below, is a
summary of the existing basin information.
Table 1. Historic Basin Characteristics
C. Proposed Basin Description
The proposed site has been separated into four proposed onsite drainage basins, and one
offsite basin.
Proposed basin PR-1 encompasses the western portion of the site and consists of the majority
of the west proposed duplex unit (unit A), the proposed driveway in front on the single stall
garage, concrete patio, fire pit and water feature. The runoff from basin PR-1 is captured by a

vegetated swale and discharges into a proposed bioretention area. Downspouts from the
proposed roof and a trench drain along the proposed driveway discharge into the previously
mentioned swale. Runoff will also sheet flow into the swale. Design point one is located at the
north end of the basin, where the west swale enters the bioretention pond. Should the PR-1
bioretention exceed the required WQCV and detention, runoff will overtop the bioretention’s
spillway weir onto permeable landscape at the north property line, before continuing flow
north, as it did historically.
Proposed basin PR-2 encompasses the remaining portion of the western half of the site. The
basin includes the covered rear terrace, master bedroom and master bathroom, as well as
surrounding landscape. A drainage swale north of the rear terrace receives runoff as sheet
flow from surrounding landscape and discharging downspouts before conveying stormwater
runoff into the west bioretention pond. Design point 2 is associated with the discharge point
for the swale conveying runoff from basin PR-2.
Proposed basin PR-3 encompasses a small portion of the eastern half of the site. The basin
includes part of the two-car garage, a small terrace, a lightwell and concrete pavers, as well as
surrounding landscape. A drainage swale north of the garage receives runoff as sheet flow
from surrounding landscape and discharging downspouts before conveying stormwater runoff
into the east bioretention pond. Design point 3 is associated with the discharge point for the
swale conveying runoff from basin PR-3.
Proposed basin PR-4 encompasses the eastern portion of the site and consists of the majority
of the east proposed duplex unit (unit B), the proposed driveway in front on the double stall
garage, concrete pavers, patio and surrounding landscape. The runoff from basin PR-4 is
captured by a vegetated swale and discharges into a proposed bioretention area. Downspouts
from the proposed roof and a trench drain along the proposed driveway discharge into the
previously mentioned swale. Runoff will also sheet flow into the swale. Design point four is
located at the north end of the basin, where the east swale enters the bioretention pond. Should
the east bioretention pond exceed the required WQCV and detention, runoff will overtop the
bioretention’s spillway weir onto permeable landscape at the north property line, before
continuing flow north, as it did historically.
The offsite basin, PROS-1, consists of the northern portion of Snowbunny Lane, driveway
entrance and R.O.W. landscaping. Two permeable grassblock paver areas are proposed
between the edge of Snowbunny Lane and the south property line. These areas, most likely to
be used for parking, will provide water quality treatment for stormwater runoff from
Snowbunny Lane. Both permeable paver areas have an impervious pavement to permeable
pavement ratio of 1.5, below the required 2.0 maximum ratio.
See Exhibit #5 for the proposed basin delineation. Table 2, below, is a summary of the
proposed (developed) basins.

D. Downstream Impacts
The proposed onsite grading and detention facilities will have positive downstream impacts
during frequent storm events by capturing and treating the onsite WQCV. This will result in
less flow from the site during frequent storm events. There are no downstream facilities from
the site to be negatively impacted by the site’s redevelopment.
The onsite runoff will leave the site after treated in the water quality facilities thus preventing
the spread of pollutants downstream.

If the bioretention facilities surpass the WQCV, the system will allow runoff to overflow
the pond weirs before discharging onto permeable landscape at points along the north
property line, and leave the site as it did historically. Calculations for the proposed
drainage facilities are included in the appendices of this report under the Facility
Calculations section.
05/17/2019
Page 12
j:/sdskproj/218/1041.00/DrainageNarrative.doc
F. Site Detention
Runoff is not capable of discharging to a storm sewer system or directly into the river;
therefore, detention beyond WQCV is required for the site runoff. The bioretention ponds
have been oversized to effectively provide detention for the site. Existing and proposed grades
do not allow a controlled outlet structure to discharge historic release rates for small events, so
runoff cannot discharge out of the bioretention ponds until the water surface elevation reaches
the weir crest. Due to this condition, required detention calculations have been conservatively
modified for the storage volume used in design. The amount of storage required was
determined by calculating full detention until the runoff hydrograph intersects the outflow
hydrograph. Rather than calculating the difference between inflow volume and outflow
volume, the minimum storage volume was determined to be the difference between the total
inflow volume and the inflow volume after the peak outflow of the predeveloped hydrograph.
Required detention volumes for Bioretention ‘A’ (west pond) and Bioretention ‘B’ (east pond)
were determined to be 215.7 CF and 210.6 CF, respectively. By providing full detention until
the outflow hydrograph reaches the 100-year peak flowrate, the proposed bioretention ponds
are capable of detaining 100-year storage volumes while keeping the weir discharge to 100-
year historic peak flowrates or less. Using AutoCAD Civil 3D volume surfaces and manual
check calculations, the design volumes were determined to be 219 CF for Bioretention ‘A’
(west pond) and 215 CF for Bioretention ‘B’ (east pond). Bioretention pond WQCV and
required detention calculations can be found in the appendices.
G. Operation and Maintenance
The proposed drainage facilities are to be constructed in conformance with the City of Aspen
Urban Runoff Management Plan, dated April 2010 and revised thereafter.
The bioretention basins will need to be inspected and maintained quarterly to make sure that
the reservoirs have not become clogged and that the reservoirs are functioning properly.
Debris and liter removal shall occur routinely.
Should clogging or standing water remain after debris and liter removal, the growing media
mix layer shall be removed and replaced with new growing media mix.
Accumulated material should be removed as a source control measure. Inspect and maintain
all surface areas for healthy grass growth, areas of dead grass, tire rutting, surface erosion,
accumulation of sediment and slow infiltration quarterly or after major storm events. Repair
worn out or damaged sod with sod grown in very sandy loam type soils. Remove and replace
the sod layer for majorly damaged or aged sod, to maintain a healthy vegetative cover or when
sod layer builds up significant amount of silt above the originally installed surface layer. All
manufacturer installation and maintenance procedures shall be followed.
The owners of the property will be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the drainage
facilities. The property owner shall dispose of sediment and any other waste material removed
from a reservoir at suitable disposal sites and in compliance with local, state, and federal waste
regulations.

This project includes “Low Impact Site Design” to mimic the natural pre-development
hydraulic pattern. Storm water runoff is to be in contact with soils and plants prior to reaching
the site outfall points. The plants and soil are to act as filters to remove pollutants. The
proposed plants and soils are present along the lengths of proposed graded swales and within
the proposed bioretention basins.
V. CONCLUSION
A. Compliance with Standards
This drainage report has been prepared in accordance with City of Aspen Regulations. The
proposed bioretention ponds will capture and treat the proposed WQCV for all impervious
areas on the entire site.
B. Drainage Concept
The proposed drainage design will be effective in controlling any adverse downstream impacts
on landowners or structures. Water quality issues will be minimal as the runoff will be
intercepted and routed to the proposed bioretention ponds.

misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil
line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed
scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.

Web Soil Survey URL:
Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.
This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as
of the version date(s) listed below.
Soil Survey Area: Aspen-Gypsum Area, Colorado, Parts of
Eagle, Garfield, and Pitkin Counties
Survey Area Data: Version 9, Sep 10, 2018
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales
1:50,000 or larger.
Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Data not available.
The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor
shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.

into thunderstorms. Autumn in Aspen is usually dry and warm and during September daytime temperatures
can reach 70°F, but night temperatures can drop to freezing. Aspen is renowned for its warm winter sun.
Winter daytime temperatures typically range from 20 to 40°F in the City and from 10 to 30°F on the
mountain. Once the sun goes down, the temperature drops dramatically. Table 2.1 presents monthly
statistics for temperature, precipitation, snowfall, and snow depth in the Aspen area.

2.3 Rainfall Depth, Duration, Frequency, and Intensity
The rainfall intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve is a statistical formula to describe the relationship
among the local rainfall characteristics and return periods. The IDF curve is used in the Rational Method
for peak runoff predictions of basins smaller than 90 acres. Based on the NOAA Atlas Volume 3, the
IDF curve for the City of Aspen can be derived according to the locality and elevation. The City of Aspen is
located at approximately 39°11′32″N and 106°49′28″W, at an elevation of approximately 8,100 feet.
Based on depth and duration data (Appendix B, Table 1), rainfall intensities can be calculated for various
frequencies. Rainfall intensity data, which form the basis of the Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves
in Figure 2.1 are provided in Table 2.2.

5-yr 2.98 2.17 1.77 1.09 0.64 0.36 0.26 0.16 0.07
10-yr 3.72 2.72 2.22 1.35 0.77 0.43 0.30 0.18 0.08
25‐yr 4.75 3.47 2.82 1.71 0.95 0.53 0.36 0.21 0.09
50‐yr 5.53 4.05 3.30 1.98 1.09 0.60 0.41 0.24 0.11
100-yr 6.32 4.63 3.76 2.24 1.23 0.67 0.45 0.26 0.12
Using the data in Table 2.2 (derived from NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 8), the following equation was derived
that can be used to determine intensities not shown in the IDF table or curve:
