Planning Area 1 Neighborhood 3 Storm Drain Design

The purpose of the project is to design a storm drain system for a community in the Planning Area One (PA1) site in Irvine, California. The system will be designed to withstand a 25-year storm event and will discharge into existing drainage networks around the PA1 site area. The team is tasked with conducting a hydrologic study of the area to determine the existing conditions of the site. Through these studies and the current hydrologic conditions, the peak flow and volume runoff will be determined in order to alleviate runoff from future development. Using the Orange County Hydrology Manual (OCHM) along with other supplemental design standards, a storm drain system will be designed for the proposed development site.
