1. INTRODUCTION
Winch Holdings Ltd. has retained the services of Kollaard Associates Inc. to prepare site servicing
and stormwater management plans in support of a site plan control application for 128 Reis Road,
Carp.
As illustrated in Key Plan, Figure 1, the subject property is situated on the north side of Reis Rd, in
an existing rural industrial park east of Carp Road, about 3.2 km north of Highway 417. The
property measures approximately 1.93 ha and is currently zoned RG4.
The proposed development involves the construction of a warehouse of approximately 398 m2 in
building area, which is to include approximately 150 m2 of second-storey office space. The
proposed layout of the building, parking lots and landscaped areas are indicated on the site plan
prepared by Ardington Design Consulting (Ardington). This report and the associated civil
engineering drawings have been prepared based on the site plan by Ardington.
The purpose of this report is to provide sufficient information to support the site plan control
application with respect to site servicing and storm water management design.
1.1 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The site consists of an undeveloped lot located between two warehouse buildings in a rural general
industrial subdivision within the Carp Road Corridor. The neighbouring property to the east is also
owned by Winch Holdings Ltd.
The subdivision is outside of the area serviced by City of Ottawa municipal water and sewers. As
such, lots are serviced by private wells and on-site sewage systems. Drainage is provided by a
roadside ditch along Reis Road which flows east to a municipal drain that discharges to Huntley
Creek to the south of the subdivision.
Under pre-development conditions, the site under consideration was grass-covered and drainage
was by uncontrolled sheet flow to the Reis Road ditch.

1.2 REQUIRED PERMITS AND APPROVALS
The proposed development is subject to the following review and approval processes:
• City of Ottawa Site Plan Control approval process, including review by the Mississippi Valley
Conservation Authority and any other authority having jurisdiction;
• Part 8 OBC approval of on-site sewage treatment system design by the Ottawa Septic
System Office (OSSO);
• Application for industrial sewage treatment (with regard to storm water runoff) by the Ontario
Ministry of Environment; and
• The City of Ottawa Building Permit application process.
1.3 PRE-SUBMISSION CONSULTATION
1.3.1 City of Ottawa
A pre-consultation meeting was held with City of Ottawa staff on February 15, 2013. It was
determined that the following civil engineering plans and reports be submitted in support of the site
plan control application:
• Grade Control and Drainage plan;
• Erosion and Sediment Control plan;
• Servicing & Composite Utility Plan (including on-site sewage treatment).
It was indicated that the criteria for stormwater flow attenuation would be to limit post-development
runoff rates to that of pre-development rates associated with design storms of 5-year and 100-year
return periods.
It was suggested that the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority be consulted with regard to their
requirements. It was also noted that the submission would be subject to MOE industrial sewage
application approval.
1.3.2 Mississippi Valley Conservation
Mississippi Valley Conservation was consulted via telephone and email. It was determined that an
enhanced level of storm water treatment, i.e. 80% TSS removal as defined by the MOE Stormwater
Manual, will be required for the site.

4. WASTEWATER SERVICING
4.1 WASTEWATER DESIGN
The proposed building is to be serviced by a Class 4 on-site sewage treatment system. The design
for the Class 4 system was completed by Kollaard Associates Inc. and has been submitted to the
Ottawa Septic System Office [OSSO]. A Certificate of Approval is pending and will be submitted to
the City of Ottawa upon receipt.
The proposed sewage system was designed, according to Part 8 of the OBC, to treat the design
flow of domestic sewage associated with the proposed building. The system is to consist of:
• 3600 L septic tank;
• Clearstream 1000N aeration unit;
• Pump and chamber; and
• a shallow buried trench treatment field.
The proposed sewage treatment system layout is indicated on the Site Servicing Plan.
4.2 WASTEWATER SERVICING CONCLUSIONS
The Site Servicing and Combined Utilities Plan, as well as the On-site Sewage System design and
supporting calculations submitted to the OSSO, demonstrate that the site can accommodate an
onsite wastewater treatment system, designed in accordance with Part 8 of the OBC, to treat the
domestic sanitary sewage flow associated with the proposed building design.
5. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
5.1 PRE-DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS
Runoff from the site consists of uncontrolled sheet flow, over grass-covered sand, gravel and topsoil
fill to the Reid Road ditch.
Pre-development peak runoff rates, presented in Table 1 below, were calculated by a Rational
Method analysis, using the following design parameters:
• Runoff coefficient, C = 0.3 to model site conditions;
• Time of concentration, tc = 20 min as per Sewer Design Guidelines;
• Storm intensity, i as per IDF equations, Sewer Design Guidelines with duration, D= tc = 20
min.

5.2 POST-DEVELOPMENT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT DESIGN CRITERIA
In consultation with the City of Ottawa and the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, it was
determined that the stormwater management system is to be designed according to the following
criteria:
• Runoff from 5-year and 100-year design storms to be attenuated to pre-development rates;
• Release rate from storage to be restricted to runoff rate associated with 5-year design storm;
• Enhanced level of treatment (80% TSS removal) of runoff from parking lot and laneway.
5.3 PROPOSED STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The stormwater management design consists of site grading directing runoff to a grassed swale
between the building and the west property line. Storage is to be provided within the swale and in
the rear parking lot.
The swale has been designed for water quality treatment following the MOE Stormwater Manual.
A sand filter, protected from erosion by rip rap, is to be constructed within the swale, at the outlet to
the roadside ditch. The filter will serve to provide additional stormwater treatment (by filtration and
settling). Should the filter fail, a volume in excess of the water quality storage requirement would be
expected to infiltrate in the swale.
A catchbasin is to be installed at the end of the swale. The catchbasin lead is to be with a
plate orifice inlet control device to control the discharge rates associated with 5-year to 100-year
storm events.
Runoff from site
The proposed stormwater management system is to collect, store and control runoff from the roof,
parking lot, laneway and much of the landscaped area of the site.

Civil • Geotechnical • Structural • Environmental • Hydrogeology
Due to practical site grading constraints, not all of the runoff from the site can be controlled by the
stormwater management system. Stormwater runoff from the surface of the sewage treatment bed
is to be drained by sheet flow to the roadside ditch. The controlled and uncontrolled areas are
shown in Figure 2.
Runoff rates from controlled and uncontrolled areas were determined based on a rational method
analysis presented as an appendix to this report. Runoff from uncontrolled areas was accounted for
in the calculation of allowable release rates from storage.
Offsite drainage
The subject site is to share a laneway with the neighbouring property owned by Winch Holdings.
Under existing conditions, runoff from the laneway drains uncontrolled to the Reis Road ditch. It is
proposed to collect and control the runoff from the shared laneway in the stormwater management
system.
Impervious Ratio
The impervious ratio, the total impervious area divided by the total area, is about 77.4 percent for
entire area (the site and offsite areas contributing runoff).
Post-development runoff coefficients
Runoff coefficients, used in the rational method analysis, were calculated as a weighted average
(by area) as indicated in Table 2.

Storage and Release Rates
A catchbasin is to be installed at the downstream end of the swale. The lead from the catchbasin is
to be equipped with a 4” plate orifice inlet control device (ICD) to control discharge rates.
Release rates and storage requirements for 5-year and 100-year storm events are summarized in
Table 3. Calculations are presented as an appendix to this report.

As indicated on the Grading and Erosion Control Plan, the required storage can be accommodated
on site.
Note: A vertical sand filter is to be installed at the end of the swale, as indicated on the engineering
drawings. According to MVCA, the seepage rate through a sand filter is to be calculated using the
Darcy equation, with a coefficient of permeability equal to 45 mm/min = 1.25 x 10-5 m3/s. Using this
design permeability, the flow rate through the sand would be insignificant compared to the flow rate
through the ICD.
For example, at a ponding elevation of 115.30, the flow rate through the sand filter would be:

Where A = cross-sectional area of filter = 1.68 m2.
k =coefficient of permeability = 1.25 x 10-5 m3/s
h = head across filter = (115.30-114.90)/2 = 0.20 m
d = thickness of filter = 1.375 m
Q = 2.4 x 10-5 m3/s.
This flow rate is not significant compared to the 1.1x 10-2 m3/s flow through the ICD.
5.4 STORM WATER QUALITY CONTROL
The exterior portions of the site are to be used for vehicle parking and building access. No business
shall be carried out that will adversely affect waterways and their habitats.
The Reis Road ditch discharges into a municipal drain that is tributary to the Huntley Creek.
Preconsultation with MVCA determined that an enhanced level of treatment is required. Enhanced
treatment is defined by the Ministry of Environment, Stormwater Management Planning and Design
Manual (MOE Stormwater Manual) as long-term average removal of 80% of suspended solids.
The required water quality storage volume was determined according to MOE Stormwater Manual
Table 3.2. The stormwater management system was designed such that the storage volume
provided in the swale and parking area below the level of the catchbasin inlet exceeds the water
quality storage requirement. Water quality storage volumes are listed in Table 4.

west property line has been designed in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the MOE
manual.
Additional treatment is to be provided by a vertical sand filter is to be constructed at the downstream
end of the swale. Should the sand filter become clogged, calculations indicate that there is
adequate surface area within the swale to allow infiltration of the water quality storage volume.
The filter was designed such that stormwater runoff ponding to the elevation of the water quality
storage will be filtered through a minimum 0.50 m of sand. This corresponds to the depth of sand
deemed to provide enhanced treatment in the MOE manual.
Details for the proposed swale and filter design are shown on Kollaard Associates Inc. drawing
130038-GP. A design summary of the swale is presented in Table 5.

Maintenance
Grass in the swale should be maintained at a height of no less than 75mm (3 inches).
Removal of accumulated sediment from the grass pre-treatment buffer should be conducted when
the accumulation of the sediment begins to significantly affect the growth of grass and/or the
drainage patterns over the grass buffer.
Silt/sediment should be removed from the surface of the filter when 2-3 cm has accumulated or if
ponding is observed in the swale more than 30 hours after the end of a rainfall event.
The upper layer of the filter material (e.g., 0.1 to 0.15 m) should be removed and replaced with clear
material when accumulated sediment is removed from the filter.
5.5 STORMWATER SERVICING CONCLUSIONS
The proposed stormwater management system conforms to the design objectives:
• Design discharge rates are limited to predevelopment conditions.
• The site will accommodate the required stormwater storage volumes.
• The system is designed for enhanced water quality treatment.
6. SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL
In order to limit the amount of sediment carried in stormwater runoff from the site during
construction, it is recommended to install a silt fence at the location indicated on the Grading and
Erosion Control Pan. The silt fence may be polypropylene, nylon, polyester or ethylene yarn.
If a standard filter fabric is used, it must be backed by a wire fence supported on posts not over 2.0
m apart. Extra strength filter fabric may be used without a wire fence backing if posts are not over
1.0 m apart. Fabric joints should be lapped at least 150 mm (6") and stapled. The bottom edge of
the filter fabric should be anchored in a 300 mm (1 ft) deep trench, to prevent flow under the fence.
Sections of fence should be cleaned, if blocked with sediment and replaced if torn.

The grassed swale is to be lined with an erosion control blanket such as the Terrafix S100 erosion
control blanket.
The exposed landscaped areas of the site should be seeded with a rapid growing grass mixture as
soon as possible. The proposed asphaltic concrete surfaced areas should be surfaced as soon as
possible. The silt fences should only be removed once the site is stabilized and vegetation is
established. These measures will reduce the amount of sediment carried from the site during storm
events that may occur during construction.
The contractor shall implement best management practices, to provide for protection of the area of the drainage system and the receiving watercourse, during construction activities.
7. UTILITIES
Hydro, telephone, cable and gas are available along the Reis Road corridor and will be installed
according to the requirements of respective utility companies.
8. CONCLUSION
This report has been prepared on behalf of Winch Holding Ltd. in support of an application to the
City of Ottawa for site plan approval of a proposed warehouse/office and associated parking lot to
be constructed at 128 Reis Road, Carp. Conclusions drawn from the report are as follows:
• There is an existing well on site. The suitability of the well to service the proposed
development is to be assessed by others.
• Wastewater servicing is to be provided by means of a class 4 on-site sewage treatment
system consisting of a septic tank, Clearstream aeration unit, pump chamber and shallow
buried trench treatment field. A detailed design has been prepared and application for
approval is to be made to the Ottawa Septic System Office.
• The proposed site stormwater management system has been designed to meet the runoff
flow attenuation and water quality objectives set out by the City of Ottawa and Mississippi
Valley Conservation in pre-application consultation.

GRASSED SWALE DESIGN
Peak intensity of precipitation associated with a design storm

After the peak:
ia
The Chicago Hyetograph is a model of storm intensity vs time derived from Intensity-Frequency-Duration
(IDF) curves of the format:
constants developed for each IDF curve based on statistical analysis of local
storm data
The intensity of a storm varies over its duration. The Chicago Hyetograph may be calculated in terms of
the time elapsed before and after peak intensity occurs, by the following equations:
(As published in Modern Sewage Design,
4th Edition , American Iron and Steel
Institute, 1999)
=a
[t + c]b
=a[{1 - b}{ta / (1 - r)} + c]
[ta / {1 - r} + c]1 + b
=a[{1 - b}{tb / r} + c]
[tb / r + c]1 + b
where ia = intensity after peak
ib = intensity before peak
ta = time after peak
tb = time before peak
r = ratio of time elapsed at peak intensity to storm duration
=a[{1 - b}{ta / (1 - r)} + c]
[ta / {1 - r} + c]1 + b
Calculations
IDF curve of storm event under consideration
The model storm to be considered in the design of a grassed swale is to have
the following characteristics:
Storm duration = 4 hr (MOE Manual)
25 mm
Consider a design storm of two year return period.
The City of Ottawa IDF curve constants are:
a = 732.951
b = 0.81 (City of Ottawa Sewer Design Guidelines)
c = 6.199
Substituting these constants into the IDF eqn
with t= 240 min
yields i = 8.47487012 mm/hr
The total precipitation over the duration of the storm is:
P = (i) x (duration)
= 33.90 mm
Minimum precipitation (over duration
of storm)
=a
[t + c]b
= 33.90 mm
A two-year four-hour storm results in a total preciptation of more than 25 mm. Since there
are no data available for storms of shorter return periods, the two year four hour storm has
been considered in the design of the grassed filter.
Peak Intensity according to Chicago Hyteograph
In Ontario, the ratio of time to peak over storm duration has been reported as:
r= 0.488 (Otthymo Manual)
tp = (r) x (duration)
= 1.95 hr
= 117.12 min
time step = 10 min (as per City of Ottawa Sewer Design Guidelines )
The peak time step has been considered to occur at a time before the peak of:
tb = (r) x (time step)
tb = 4.88 minutes before peak
The end of the peak time step therefore occurs at
ta = 5.12 after the peak intensity occurs
This corresponds to an elapsed time of:
112.24 to 122.24 minutes from start of storm
To calculate total precipitation, hyetographs are typically divided into intervals ( time steps ), with a
constant intensity considered over each interval. The time step considered in the present analysis is:
Therefore, the instantaneous peak intensity for the storm under consideration would occur after an
elapsed time of:
The intensity during the peak time step is calculated by eqn 2 of this appendix as:
ib = 38.40 mm/hr
or by eqn 3 as:
ia = 38.40 mm/hr
ipeak = 38.40 mm/hr
over a time step of: 10 min
The peak intensity of precipitation of a 4 hr Chicago storm producing at least 25 mm of precipitation is:
=a[{1 - b}{tb / r} + c]
[tb / r + c]1 + b
=a[{1 - b}{ta / (1 - r)} + c]
[ta / {1 - r} + c]1 + b
Infiltration versus time based on the Horton Infiltration Equation
The Horton equation models the decay of infiltration over time as follows:
F = fc+(F0-fc)e-kt
where F = infiltration at time 't', mm/hr
fc = final infiltration rate, mm/hr
F0 = initial infiltration rate, mm/hr
k= a decay constant
In the present analysis, infiltration was calculated with the following parameters:
fc = 13.2 mm/hr (as per City of Ottawa Sewer Design Guidelines )
F0 = 76.2 mm/hr (as per City of Ottawa Sewer Design Guidelines )
k= 0.00115 s-1
(as per City of Ottawa Sewer Design Guidelines )
t = 117.12 min (time to peak of Chicago Hyetograph)
The infiltration at the peak of the storm intensity is therefore calculated as:
t= 7027.2 s
e= 2.718
kt= 8.08128
e -kt
= 0.00031
F= 13.22 mm/hr
Net runoff based on calculated rainfall intensity and infiltration rate
Peak runoff rate from vegetated surfaces = Intensity-Infiltration rate
Peak runoff rate from impermeable surfaces = Intensity of precipitation
Intensity of precipitation 38.40 mm/hr (Peak of 4 hr Chicago storm)
Infiltration rate 13.2195 mm/hr
Peak unit runoff rate from vegetated areas 25.18 mm/hr (precipitation - infiltration)
Catchment Area 0.22 ha
Impervious ratio 0.77
Peak runoff rate from vegetated areas 0.003539 m3/s (unit runoff x vegetated area)
Peak runoff rate from impervious surfaces 0.018069 m3/s (precip x impervious area)
Peak runoff rate 0.0216 m3/s
In the present analysis it has been assumed that at the peak intensity of the storm, the initial abstraction
(depression storage etc.) has been exhausted so that:

2013.12.10 Justyna Garbos City of Ottawa Planning & Growth Management Development Review Rural Services 110 Laurier Avenue West, 4th Floor Ottawa, ON, K1P 1J1 E: [email protected] Re: Site Plan Control application D07-12-13-0147 This letter has been prepared in response to issues identified for clarification by the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) in its review of documents prepared by Kollaard Associates in support of an application for site plan control for the above-noted project. For each of the issues raised by the MVCA, presented in italics, a response is given below.
General comment by MVCA - MVCA expects the sand filter will clog within a relatively short
amount of time and will not perform as expected. However the system is still expected to provide the
required quality control. The grassed swale will provide some treatment and a portion of the ponded
water is expected to infiltrate into the existing sandy soils.
In light of the opinion offered by MVCA, an outlet control structure (catchbasin with ICD) has been
added at the downstream end of the grassed swale, to control the release rates of the 5-year and 100-
year storm storage volumes. The release rates would therefore not be dependent on the flow rate
through the sand. Treatment would be provided by a combination of flow through the grassed swale
and infiltration, as deemed adequate by MVCA.
The velocity of flow through the swale has been limited to 0.5 m/s during the peak flow of a 4 hr 25
mm “Chicago storm”, as per MOE design guidelines for treatment in grassed swales. The surface of
the storage area is considered adequate to allow infiltration of the water quality storage volume.
Supporting calculations have been included as appendices to the revised stormwater report.
1. It is not clear if off-site flows from the west corner of the site have been considered.
Grades at the west corner (i.e. left rear corner) of the property were found to be generally higher than
those found on neighbouring properties. The drainage pattern was therefore considered to be
generally away from the rear left corner of the subject property. Refer to figure 1 of this letter.
2. MVCA cannot replicate the actual storage release rate values from Appendix C.
Release rates in Appendix C correspond to the total discharge rates calculated in Appendix B for
equivalent storage volumes. Discharge was originally calculated by the Darcy equation with k =
0.002 m/s to model flow through the filter sand (k value corresponding to the specified sand with T
…130038 Page 2
Civil • Geotechnical • Structural • Environmental • Industrial Health & Safety
= 2 mins/cm).
In subsequent correspondence, MVCA indicated that the value of k=45 mm/hr be used in the design
calculations. This slower design flow rate through the sand would make it impractical to consider the
filter as the control mechanism for the storage release rates (the resulting storage volumes cannot be
accommodated). A catchbasin with an inlet control device (ICD) has therefore been added at the
downstream end of the swale.
3. MVCA recommends the geotextile extend to underneath the sand filter to protect the toe of the
sand filter from piping.
The drawings have been revised to indicate the geotextile extending underneath the sand filter.
4. The sediment and erosion control plan requires the following details:
a. The silt fence must be installed such that it prevents sediment from entering the grassed swale and
discharging from the site.
b. Erosion control is required within the realigned watercourse.
The drawings have been revised to indicate the silt fence extended along the east side of the swale.
The swale is to be protected from erosion by installation of an erosion blanket.
5. The proposed ponding area may not be permitted to extend to the existing well and should be
verified.
The ground surface around the well is to be graded such that there is positive drainage away from the
well.
We trust that this letter responds to your current requirements.

Proposed Light Industrial Building, Reis Road, Ottawa, Ontario The following Circulation Comments dated November, 2013 were provided. Kollaard Associates Inc.'s response is provided in italics immediately after each comment for clarity: Engineering Comments: Brian Morgan, Project Manager, Infrastructure Approvals (Servicing) Jeff McEwen, Program Manager, Development Review, Rural Services Well City : How far is the proposed well from the property line? It should be a minimum of 3.0 metres away Kollaard: The existing well casing was measured as 2.97 m from the property line. It is our understanding that the purpose of the 3 m setback is to ensure that any future re-grading of the neighbouring property would not divert runoff toward the well. In this case, there is a swale between the property line and the existing well, so that re-grading of the neighbouring property would not affect the well. City : Please include a dimension showing that the well is a minimum of 15.0 metres from the edge of the septic mantle Kollaard:The dimension shown on the septic system plan has been added to the site servicing plan. City : Current well location is at the top of the slope of the storm pond. Wells should never be placed in a situation where the base of the casing could be flooded. Please revise the grading around the well to ensure that there will always be positive drainage away from the well or relocate the well.

You will need to regrade or relocate the well out of the swale/storm pond (see O. Reg. 903, Section 12.3) Kollaard: The well is located at the top of the proposed berm of the proposed swale, above the 100-year storage level. The drawings has been revised to clarify positive grading around the well. Grading and Erosion Control Plan City : Show 5 and 100 year flood elevations on all the sections Kollaard: The 5-yr and 100-yr storage elevations shown on the plan have been added to the sections. City : Section E shows the top of the berm at elevation 115.50. This means that the top of the berm is only 0.1 metres above the 100-year flood line (115.40). The City requires at least 0.3 metres freeboard. Kollaard: The proposed elevations of the top of swale have been revised to show 0.3 m of freeboard above the 100-yr storage level. City : Where does the clay berm start and end? Please confirm that the clay berm extends the full length of the septic bed. Kollaard: The clay berm is to extend the length of the septic system, as approved by the Ottawa Septic System Office. City : A silt fence is required along the southern property line Kollaard: A silt fence has been added along the southern propery line. Septic Design and Details City :Amend R-16 to show R-15 around the existing well Kollaard: The drawing has been amended to show a radius of 15 m instead of 16 m around the neighbouring well. City :There should be test pits under the building Kollaard:Septic test pits are generally put down in the area of the proposed infiltration bed. It is common practice to avoid putting test pits down in the area of the proposed building to avoid compromising areas of the subgrade beneath the building. Stormwater Report City: Does the report take into account flow or seepage through the clay berm? Kollaard: The rate of seepage through the clay berm is considered insignificant as the coefiicient of permeability of the clay would be three or four orders of magnitude smaller than that of the imported sand or native material.

Note that in its review, the MVCA expressed an opinion that a slower flow rate be considered through the sand filter. The outlet control has been subsequently revised to include catchbasin and pipe with an inlter control device (ICD). We trust that this response provides sufficient information for your present purposes.
