Clear Creek Solutions’ Stormwater LID Expertise Clear Creek Solutions, Inc., provides complete range of hydrologic and stormwater modeling services. Clear Creek specializes in continuous simulation hydrologic modeling. We have 30+ years of experience modeling complex hydrologic and stormwater problems. We created the Western Washington Hydrology Model Version 3 (WWHM3) for Washington State Department of Ecology. We teach WWHM and HSPF workshops.

Presentation Introduction Eco-Roof Modeling Bioretention Swale Modeling Questions & Answers

Introduction Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) is using new approaches to managing stormwater with the use of BMPs that mimic natural drainage systems. These BMPs are designed to: 1.Manage flooding in neighborhoods 2.Improve the appearance and function of the street right-of-way 3.Provide responsible stewardship of the environment 4.Help the City meet local, state, and federal environmental regulations

Introduction Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) has selected the following LID practices that can be used to return Seattle neighborhood creeks to more natural conditions: 1.Eco/green/vegetated roofs 2.Bioretention/landscape swales/rain gardens 3.Rainwater cisterns 4.Compost amended soils 5.Porous pavements

Introduction Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) uses monitoring and computer modeling to evaluate the effectiveness of different LID BMPs. LID computer modeling has been achieved by adding the LID practices to the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Western Washington Hydrology Model (WWHM), developed by Clear Creek Solutions, Inc.

Stormwater Modeling Traditional: Single event Today: Continuous simulation

Stormwater Modeling Single event modeling doesn’t work because:  Single-event flow frequency standards are based on inappropriate assumptions.  The need is to NOT increase flow durations for the range of erosive flows (for Western Washington the range is from 1/2 of the 2-year to 50-year flow event).

Stormwater Modeling Today: Continuous simulation Continuous simulation hydrology models the entire hydrologic cycle for multiple years.

WWHM Available free from the Washington State Department of Ecology web site:

WWHM Flow duration standard: based on erosive flows. Erosive flow range: ½ of the 2-year to the 50-year

WWHM  Guidance/help is provided by  User Manual  Training Workshops  CCS Project Book

WWHM: LID Modeling WWHM3 includes the following LID options:  Green roof/eco-roof/vegetated roof  Bioretention/rain garden/landscape swale

Eco-Roof Modeling Study performed for Seattle Public Utilities Eco-roof modeled: Portland Hamilton Building Data provided by Portland BES

Eco-Roof Modeling Purpose: To determine appropriate HSPF hydrology parameter values to represent the eco-roof’s shallow soil depth and lack of a groundwater reservoir.

Summary Eco-roofs and bioretention swales reduce stormwater runoff and its associated problems. WWHM is a powerful stormwater modeling tool to help inform and persuade the public and policy makers of the benefits of using low impact development BMPs.

Acknowledgements Seattle Public Utilities provided information used in the modeling of eco- roofs and bioretention swales. The City of Portland, Oregon, Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) provided the Hamilton eco-roof monitoring data.
