Detention Basin

There is currently a 1.46 detention basin on-site that the client hopes to use in the final design. Several culverts direct stormwater flow through the basin and eventually underneath the I-17.

The volume of the basin is 810,000 cubic feet, and experiences stormwater volumes of up to 90,000 cubic feet. A hydrological analysis was performed using the watershed seen on the right. 

There is a natural separation in the basin. The wetland would be located in the eastern portion of the basin, and stormwater would be held in the western portion. The western portion of the basin has an approximate available volume of 275,000 cubic feet.
