A 7,600 sf underdrained bioretention BMP is designed to meet the peak flow rate and runoff hydrograph duration requirements of the volumetric reduction standards. The underdrained bioretention BMP is arranged as 47.5 feet wide and 160 feet long. The bioretention BMP is installed with a 150-foot, 4 inch perforated corrugated pipe as the underdrain. The 4 inch perforated pipe is buried within a 1-foot crushed stone bed. The sand layer and the soil bed are 6 inches and 24 inches, respectively, in accordance with the design criteria in Ch. 9.8 of the BMP Manual. A 40% void ratio is assigned to the crushed stone layer where runoff will be drained and provide a temporary storage during the hydraulic modeling. No void ratio is assigned to the sand layer and soil bed because the soil bed is supposed to remain moist to sustain the planting, which significantly reduces the temporary storage during the hydraulic modeling.\n\n[Source PDF](SOURCE.pdf#page=9)\n\nOCR images on the cited PDF pages (page association only): [p. 9, image 1](images/page-0009-img-01.jpg) | [p. 9, image 2](images/page-0009-img-02.jpg)"}

The hydrograph of the discharge starts at 0.5 hours and ends at 10.50 hours, which results in a runoff hydrograph duration of 10 hours. The hydrologic and hydraulic analysis demonstrates that the proposed underdrained bioretention BMP has a smaller peak flow rate and longer runoff hydrograph duration than the equivalent woods on HSG D soil. The volumetric reduction standards are met.\n\n[Source PDF](SOURCE.pdf#page=12)\n\nOCR images on the cited PDF pages (page association only): [p. 12, image 1](images/page-0012-img-01.jpg)"}
