Figure 3-13 Typical Pond Outlet Structure<br />

• A number <strong>of</strong> outlets at varying depths in the riser provide flow control for routing <strong>of</strong> the<br />

water quality (for extended wet detention), channel protection, and flood control run<strong>of</strong>f<br />

volumes. The number and configuration <strong>of</strong> the outlets (orifices and weirs) vary, depending<br />

on the specific pond design conditions.<br />

• Ponds must be designed per Kansas dam safety guidelines, when applicable.<br />

• As an example, a wet pond riser configuration is typically comprised <strong>of</strong> a channel<br />

protection outlet (usually an orifice) and flood control outlet (<strong>of</strong>ten a slot or weir). The<br />

channel protection orifice is sized to detain the channel protection storage volume for 24-<br />

hours. Since the WQ V is fully contained in the permanent pool in this example, no orifice<br />

sizing is necessary for this volume. As run<strong>of</strong>f from a water quality event enters the wet<br />

pond, it simply displaces that same volume through the channel protection orifice. Thus<br />

an <strong>of</strong>f-line wet pond providing only water quality treatment can use a simple overflow weir<br />

as the outlet structure.<br />

• In the case <strong>of</strong> an extended detention wet pond or extended detention micropool pond,<br />

there is a need for an additional outlet (usually an orifice) that is sized to pass the<br />

extended detention WQ V that is surcharged on top <strong>of</strong> the permanent pool. Flow will first<br />

pass through this orifice, which is sized to detain the water quality extended detention<br />

volume for 24 hours. All extended detention orifices shall be protected from clogging<br />

using treatments such as those described in Section 5.6.4. The preferred design is a<br />

reverse slope pipe attached to the riser, with its inlet submerged one foot or more below<br />

the elevation <strong>of</strong> the permanent pool to prevent floatables from clogging the pipe and to<br />

avoid discharging warmer water at the surface <strong>of</strong> the pond. The next outlet is usually<br />

sized for the release <strong>of</strong> the channel protection storage volume. The outlet (<strong>of</strong>ten an<br />

orifice) invert is located at the maximum elevation associated with the extended detention<br />

WQ V and is sized in conjunction with the extended detention orifice to detain the channel<br />

protection storage volume for 24-hours.<br />
