 Sreq5 = 4783.6521 m3  5 yr post released at 5 yr pre

Sreq100 = 8693.129m3  100 yr post released at 100 yr pre

Therefore, the maximum storage required is 8693.129m3.

Quality Control Storage Calculations

Enhanced Protection - 80% Suspended Solids Removal

For 85% impervious  250 m3/ha includes 40 m3/ha for active storage

Active Storage = 40 × 63.8956 = 2555.824 m3

Permanent Pool = (250 – 40) × 63.8956 = 13418.08 m 3

Total Storage = 2555.82 + 13418.08 = 15973.9 m3

Area of the quality pond = 9127.943 m2 for 1.75m depth

Permanent Depth = 1.47m

Active Depth = 0.28m

Therefore, the drainage pipe from quality to outlet channel is 250 mm diameter
