Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 1 Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Robert G. Traver, Ph.D., PE Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Director, Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership II. Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 2 Outline  Definitions  Pa Stormwater Management History  Why the Change?  Current Pa Stormwater Requirements.

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 3 Development and the Hydrologic Cycle Thanks to MDE Original from MDE

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 4 Definitions: Objectives of SWM  Protecting Life & lessening Public Health & Safety Risk  Reducing Risk of Monetary Damage to Private / Public Property  Minimize disruption of Community Affairs  Protecting Quality of Surface and Groundwater  Enhancement of the Quality of Life in Urban Areas –ASCE Stormwater Manual of Practice

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 5  ASCE Code of Ethics –Engineers shall hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public and shall strive to comply with the principles of sustainable development in the performance of their professional duties – (ASCE 2002)

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 6 Definitions - Flooding  Natural - every 2 years out of channel….  Multiple Causes –Rains too hard –drainage system inadequate –urbanization increases volume / risk  opposite… drought?

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 7 “Risk” - Definition  Return Period (T) –Rainfall event equaled or exceeded over a year –T = 1/P x year storm ~ 50% (P) – 100 ~~~~~~ 1%  Risk = 1-(1-P)^n

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 8 Definitions - Floodplain & Stormwater Management Definitions - Floodplain & Stormwater Management  Distinction Between - Large vs. Small Sites? –Both Required by Regulation  Degree? Agency? –Floodplain – River –Stormwater - Watershed –Stormwater - Growing Quality Orientation –Flood Plain - Protection –higher priority  Similarities –Life & Safety –Public Interest Intense - but brief & Infrequent –Coming together!  Similar structural / nonstructural measures  Similar Design Tools - same methods, different orientation  Same System

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 9 Pa SWM - Historically Based on……..   Groundwater Rich   Concern over Peak Flows / Flooding (property damage)   Channel Stability (Cost)   “Drainage”   Pics from MDE (except as noted)

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II – PA ACT 167  Peak Flows Limited to Preconstruction Levels  All Points Leaving Site  Municipal Implementation

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II FOCUS  Peak Flows  Large Storms (100 Yr?)  Individual Sites –“downstream property line” –Detention Basins

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 12 From old Design Manual

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 13 Storm Hydrograph Pre Post Post W/ SWM

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II RESULTS  Flow Collected and Concentrated  Detention Basins –BIG –Bottom of Site Traver 1978

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II Results Post Pre Time Flow Post w/ SWM basin Lost Infiltration Increased Channel Erosion

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II CONCERNS  Effect of Small Storms on Downstream Channels  Downstream Effects of Basins –Combination  Ownership? Maintenance?

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 17 ASCE Journal of Hydraulics  Nov 1979 – “Downstream Effects of Stormwater Management Basins” – Richard McCuen –It is recognized that the urbanization process is responsible for increases in both runoff flow rates and sediment volumes…. The question that has led to much consideration is: Are SWM Basins effectively meeting the intent of stormwater management?”

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II ACT 167 REVISED!  Enabled Watershed Planning –plans revised every five years –considers existing trouble areas –usually developed by county  Peak Flows – limited to preconstruction levels – limited by effect on Watershed  Municipal Implementation

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II FOCUS  Peak Flows  2 ~ 100 Year Storms  Watershed Drainage System –Release Rate

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II RESULTS  Flow Collected and Concentrated  Bigger Detention Basins –2 ~ 100 year storms –Release Rate ~ Watershed Location  Owned –Homeowners Associations –Municipal

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 26 ASCE Journal of Hydraulics  April 1980 – “Stormwater Detention in Developing Watersheds” – C Amandes, P. Bedient –Urban Stormwater runoff has become the major source of stream pollution in many urban areas as point source effluents have been largely controlled through improved treatment.  July 1988 – “Multicriterion Stormwater Management Methods” – R. McCuen & G. Moglen –Both theory and experience indicate that, while detention basins designed to control peak discharge are effective in controlling the peak rates, the basins are ineffective in in controlling the degradatation of erodible channels downstream of the basin.

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 27 What do we design for?

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 28 The “old” way- directly connected Roof Driveway Street Inlet Culvert Post Infiltration -- Decreased Baseflow -- Decreased Groundwater Recharge -- Decreased Runoff Quality-- Decreased Stream Bank Erosion -- Increased Runoff Speed-- Increased Peak Flows-- Increased Volume -- Increased No Chance to Infiltrate No Pollutant Filtration

Low Impact Development and Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership – II 29 Pa Comprehensive Stormwater Policy  Protect and maintain stream uses/water quality;  Protect, maintain and sustain water quantity; and  Integrate federal stormwater management requirements. “”  Integrate federal stormwater management requirements. “NPDES – II”  Best Management Practice (BMP) approach to stormwater management that emphasizes groundwater recharge and the reduction of impacts from discharges to surface water.
