Prepare Vegetation and Landscaping Plan.<br />

A landscaping plan for an enhanced swale should be prepared to indicate how the<br />

enhanced swale system will be stabilized and established with vegetation.<br />

3.2.5.7 Design Example<br />

Basic Data<br />

Small commercial lot 300 feet deep x 145 feet wide.<br />

• Drainage area (A) = 1.0 acres<br />

• Rainfall (P) = 1.2 inches (water quality event)<br />

• Run<strong>of</strong>f coefficient (R v ) = 0.70<br />

Enhanced Swale Design<br />

Determine the swale dimensions (assume trapezoidal channel with max depth <strong>of</strong> 18 inches).<br />

The Q wq will be utilized to size the channel. The maximum flow depth <strong>of</strong> 4 inches is allowed for<br />

water quality design. A maximum flow velocity <strong>of</strong> 1.0 foot per second for water quality<br />

treatment is required. For Manning’s n use 0.15 for medium grass, 0.25 for dense grass, and<br />

0.35 for very dense Bermuda-type grass.<br />

Input variables:<br />

n = 0.15<br />

D = 1’<br />
