1 Ames City Hall Campus: Stormwater Improvements Tracy Warner, Municipal Engineer for the City of Ames, IA Jake Moore, Stormwater Specialist for the City of Ames, IA Ryan Benjegerdes, Water Resources Engineer with Bolton & Menk, Inc.

2 Community Flooding History Aug (26.72) June 1975 (25.57) July 1993 (25.53) June 1990 (25.4) Aug (25.25) June 1996 (25.13) May 2008 (24.70) July 1993 (24.20) Aug (23.98) July 1993 (23.92) July 2014 (23.79) Dec (22.84) Sept (19.86) Aug (19.29) Sept (18.68) Flood Stage (21.5) Sept (17.42) Aug (17.21) June 2015 (16.97) Sept (15.56)

3 Traditional Stormwater Vs. New Approach - Traditional : Collect + Move runoff quickly - Out of sight out of mind - New: Iowa Storm Water Management Manual - Retain runoff on site - Treat runoff prior to release - Consider pre-settlement conditions during Design

4 Leading the Way Social - Using parking lot as an examples of various BMP s which can be incorporated into project. - Example for future development under city post construction ordinance. - Public Education and outreach - Examples for other sites include 24 th street, Ridgewood, Ash Ave, Blackwood Circle, Billy Sunday Rd.and so on.

5 Leading the Way Technical [City Stormwater Management Ordinance Requirements] - Water Quality Protection 1.25 storm event 90% of storm events are less than this first flush Treat + Retain on site - Channel Protection 1 year 24 hour event: 2.67 Release at pre-development rate (58) Must detain for minimum 24 hour period

6 Leading the Way Technical [City Stormwater Management Ordinance Requirements] - Overbank Flood Protection 5 year 24 hour event: 3.81 Restrict post-development peak discharge rate - Extreme Flood Protection 10 year 24 hour event: year 24 hour event: 7.12 Provide safe conveyance of excess runoff

7 Plan Overview

8 Project Design Criteria Design Criteria - Comply with City s ordinance - Detention: post-development > pre-settlement - Pre-settlement mimics natural prairie - Capture and treat WQv

9 Project Design Challenges Design Challenges - Significant peak flow reduction required Pre-Settlement (cfs) Developed w/o SWM (cfs) 1-year year year year Limited space to implement detention practices - Off-site pass-through flow

10 Project Design Alternatives Design Alternatives 1. Full or partial exemption from ordinance 2. Off-site detention and on-site WQv treatment 3. Sub-surface detention a. Storage chambers b. Stone voids (subbase)

11 Project Design Alternatives Design Alternatives 1. Full or partial exemption from ordinance 2. Off-site detention and on-site WQv treatment 3. Sub-surface detention a. Storage chambers b. Stone voids (subbase)

12 Design Components Permeable Pavers

13 Design Components Permeable Pavers

14 Design Components Permeable Pavers - Primary method for runoff to enter subbase - Concrete band between permeable pavers and HMA - Designed to limit cutting of pavers units - Set on bed of crushed stone

15 Design Components Rock Storage

16 Design Components Rock Storage

17 Design Components Rock Storage - Detention storage within stone voids - Infiltration into underlying soils - Receives runoff from permeable pavers - Minimum depth for paver structure - Varying storage depths based on runoff quantity - Subdrain conveys runoff to storm sewer

18 Design Components Outlet Control Structure

19 Design Components Outlet Control Structure

20 Design Components Outlet Control Structure - Restrict outlet to limit release rate - Controls 1-year through 100-year outflow - Minimal maintenance concern due to filtered runoff

21 Design Components Bioretention Cells

22 Design Components Bioretention Cells

23 Design Components Bioretention Cells - Intercept parking and drive aisle runoff - Rain Guardian pretreatment - Overflow provided to storm sewer

24 Design Components Storm Sewer Connections

25 Design Components Storm Sewer Connections

26 Design Components Storm Sewer Connections

27 Design Components Storm Sewer Connections - Connect to existing storm sewer - Convey upstream storm sewer through site

28 Design Components Off-site run-on

29 Design Components Off-site run-on

30 Design Components Off-site run-on - Trench drain to intercept off-site runoff - Convey runoff through site without diluting BMPs - Separate biocell for off-site runoff - Overflows into storm sewer

31 Project Design Final Release Rates - Designed to meet pre-settlement release rates - Allow passage of off-site flows - Excess WQv treatment Allowable (cfs) Post-Development (cfs) 1-year year year year WQv 5,550 ft 3 13,750 ft 3

32 Construction Schedule - April 2017 October 2017 (Break for 4 th of July) - Spring 2018 finish up SQR and Native Seeding - 2 nd Chip of Parking lot in spring

33 Construction Parking - Coordinating Parking - Outreach to employees - Temporary parking - Fareway - East lot - West Lots - Other city facilities

34 Construction Safety Fence - Fence along sidewalks - Tried to keep sidewalks open. - Had to be able to get out dumpsters.

35 Construction Tree Removal - Trees and shrubs in way of construction. - Contractor worked on weekend. - Trees replaced with native species

36 Construction Pavement + Utility Removal - Removed Parking lot, curb and gutter. - Found junk and old foundations. - Electric lines and lights were taken down.

37 Construction Storm Sewer - Removed Storm Sewer - Installed New Storm Sewer - Less pipe required because of combination of pavers, curb cuts, trench drains, and rain guardian structures

38 Construction Grading - Removed soil to allow for Rock Base. - Grade allows for water to drain toward medians with tiles to control discharge. - Rock depth changed based on grade.

39 Construction / Rock - No. 2 Stone for Flood Storage up to 27 depth - No. 57 Stone for Choker Layer 4 depth - No. 8 Stone below pavers 2 depth

40 Construction Curb and Gutter + Paver Restraint - Need rock behind curb and gutter to support it. - Paved restraint. - Biocells and medians dug out after paving was completed to design depths.

41 Construction Biocells - 5 total on site - Dug after paving - Engineered soil mix - Stone at base - Tile placed 9-15 above bottom to allow for infiltration. - Native plants - Wood Mulch

42 Construction Soil Quality Restoration - Top soil mixed with 2 of compost tilled 8 deep - Applied to all planted and seeded areas (4197 Square Yards) - Medians tipped slightly inward to direct water to center with trees.

43 Construction Permeable Pavers - Placed with small backhoe and paver attachment. - Curb and Gutter with separation beam must be square. - Rock Chip 2X

44 Construction Asphalt - Base 4 - Surface 2 - Rock Beneath Pavers - 27 north half - 15 south half

45 Construction Paint, signs,

46 Construction Native Vegetation - Native Turf - Buffalo Grass and Blue Gramma - Native Plants (1,900 + School) - Native Trees - Some plants grown, planted and mulched by students

47 Construction Drainage - Curb Cuts - Rain Guardian - Trench Drains - Pavers - Decorative Rock to help protect scour

48 Lessons Learned Construction - Have a watering plan for areas planted by students. - Be ready for outreach and inform contractors on site of events - Facebook live events, New Paper, Ch 12, - Have separate contract for SQR and seeding allowing project to be closed out in fall. - Temp seed two times. - Verify depths of utilities - Removal of Lights and Electric resulted in change orders - Material Availability - Decorative stone came from Minnesota - Make sure everyone is clear on plans/design. - Extended length of the south biocell to add storage capacity

49 SRF Eligible Items SRF Eligible Item Eligible Portion Mobilization 40% Clearing & Grubbing 40% Soil Quality Restoration 100% Topsoil 100% Excavation 66% Engineered Soil for Biocells 94% Subdrains 100% Manholes 67% Bioretention Curb Cuts and Rain Guardians 100% Permeable Pavers 100% Rock 99% Pavement Removal 38% Native Turf & Plants 100% Construction Survey 40% Hydromulch, Filter Socks, Inlet Protection 100%
