STORMWATER CALCULATION DISCUSSION
GeneralThe stormwater control system consists of berms, roads, ditches and a non-discharging basin (evaporation basin) to limit stormwater run-on into the active landfill area and control run-off of stormwater that has come in contact with Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR), hereafter referred to as “contact water.”Hydrologic and hydraulic calculations were performed to verify the sizing of the existing evaporation basin and size the various site ditches using a 25 year 24 hour storm event the “design storm.” The calculations indicate that the existing evaporation basin is more than adequately sized to retain run-off from the entire drainage area with a 25 year 24 hour storm occurring during an average rainfall year. The peak run-off discharge for the area is 106 cubic feet per second (CFS). The designed ditch, as shown on the drawing set, has a minimum depth of 2.5 feet with 3:1 side slopes, and is calculated to carry a minimum capacity of 122 CFS when flowing full; therefore having adequate capacity to carry the 25 year 24 hour storm peak run-off.
The Drainage Calculation Worksheet is presented on Sheet 1 of the Design Drawing set entitled Sunflower Electric CCR Landfill Stormwater Control Plan, dated July 7, 2016 and provides all the pertinent calculations used to evaluate stormwater flows at the site. The Worksheet consists of six sections, as discussed below, entitled:
Areas and Curve Numbers,Time of Concentration Phase 3A,Time of Concentration Outside Landfill,Climate Data,Evaporation Basin Simulation, andDitch Sizing.
Due to the complexity of unit hydrographs for the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Peak Run-off estimation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) Version 4.1 was utilized to determine peak run-off for ditch sizing. Details regarding the inputs and outputs from the model are discussed in the ditch sizing section.
Areas and Curve NumbersThe Areas and Curve Numbers section provides the areas with different characteristics for run-off modeling purposes and the total weighted average for the entire drainage area. The areas were determined using the existing topography of the site and are shown on Sheet 1 of the drawing set. The Soil Conservation Service TR-55, along with observation of the site was used to determine appropriate curve numbers for the various areas.
Until final closure, Phase 3A will receive deposits of hydrated/partially hydrated fly ash. AEC designated this unit with a curve number of 86 and is considered substantially similar to the Bare Soil with a hydrologic soil group of B (See TR-55 Table 2-2b). The compacted nature of the material limits the applicability of Type A soils; however, the partially hydrated nature of the fly ash and ability to retain water limits the applicability of Type C or D soils. The closed portion of the landfill (Phases 1, 2A, and 2B) were designated with a curve number of 69 in that they compare favorably to rangeland with a fair hydrologic condition and Type B soils (See TR-55 Table 2-2c). Outside the active landfill areas, AEC designated acurve number of 39 as the area compares favorably with rangeland in good hydrologic condition (i.e., >75% ground cover) and Type A soils (Valent fine sand, 5 to 20 percent slopes – USDA Web Soil Survey). Finally, the lined evaporation basin was designated a curve number of 100, as applicable to water bodies. The total drainage area is 86.3 acres with a weighted curve number of 59. This data was utilized in the evaporation basin simulation and the HEC-HMS model for determining peak run-off.

Time of ConcentrationThe “Time of Concentration” calculation section for the Phase 3A and Outside Landfill Areas determinethe time of concentration, also known as travel time, and the lag time for the two major drainage areas. For Phase 3A, the total area time of concentration was found to be 8.8 minutes with a corresponding lag time of 5.3 minutes. For Outside the Landfill areas, the time of concentration was found to be 25.5 minutes with a lag time of 15.3 minutes. AEC relied on the TR-55 and HEC 22 calculation methods and the associated variables (Manning’s n) for the selected area types. A Manning’s n of 0.05 (Fallow-no residue) was selected for Phase 3A sheet flow to estimate the projected top of the filled Phase 3A (prior to closure). A Manning’s n of 0.13 (Range-natural) was selected for Outside the Landfill sheet flow. AEC selected 16.3 for the K value to represent the shallow concentrated flow velocity coefficient for Phase 3A as defined in TR-55 as unpaved. AEC selected 7 for K to represent the shallow concentrated flow velocity coefficient for Outside the Landfill corresponding to grass pasture. For all the non-rip-rapped ditches AEC selected a Manning’s n of 0.02 corresponding to unlined-bare soil to represent the worst-case, un-vegetated ditch. For rip-rapped sections of the ditch a Manning’s n of 0.035 was utilized. Slopes and lengths were determined using the design ditch and topography.
Climate DataClimate data was collected and analyzed from NOAA for the Garden City Experimental Station, the climate data were from 8/1/1948 through 5/20/2016, almost 68 years of data. Among other parameters, the data included daily precipitation and daily pan evaporation. The daily data was averaged and cumulated to form the average monthly data. For comparative purposes, the average daily maximum precipitation was calculated. AEC obtained the 25 year, 24 hour storm event data from the KDOT Rainfall Intensity Tables for Finney County (Road Memorandum No. 97-5. November 1997).
Evaporation Basin SimulationFor the Evaporation Basin Simulation, run-off amounts were calculated using the SCS Curve Number Method from monthly precipitation values and the Total Area and Weighted Average Curve Number calculated in Areas and Curve Numbers. The Simulation begins with a 25 year 24 hour storm event occurring prior to the start of the rainy season. As a conservative estimate, the total average monthly precipitation was assumed to occur during one storm to maximize run-off. Months where precipitation did not exceed the initial abstraction (Ia), run-off was zero. The curve number of “Outside LF” was varied with values ranging from 39 to 70, all resulting in seasonal emptying of the basin. As shown in the simulation, the evaporation basin only fills a maximum of about 1.5 feet deep. The basin is actually 12 feet deep allowing for extreme excess rainfall. This agrees with statements from facility personnel, in which, they indicate that the basin rarely contains anything but localized puddles of water.
Ditch SizingAEC designed the site ditches utilizing the worst case scenario for the Phase 3A peak run-off. The Phase 3A peak run-off was determined to be 106 cubic feet per second (CFS) utilizing HEC-HMS 4.1 modeling software utilizing the SCS Curve Number Loss Method and the SCS Unit Hydrograph Transform Method and the parameters for the Phase 3A provided in the worksheet.
Two scenarios were analyzed during the ditch sizing, with the most conservative presented in the worksheet. The first was the shallowest slope (0.8%) using a bare earth Manning’s n (0.02), the second was a steeper slope (2.0%) using a riprap Manning’s n (0.035). The latter method provided the least amount of flow for the ditch cross-section. A triangular ditch with 3:1 side slopes, 2.5 feet deep will provide capacity for a minimum of 126 CFS of flow, providing enough capacity for the calculated peak run-off of 106 CFS.

1 Average runoff condition, and Ia=0.2S2 Crop residue cover applies only if residue is on at least 5% of the surface throughout the year.3 Hydraulic condition is based on combination factors that affect infiltration and runoff, including (a) density and canopy of vegetative areas,
(b) amount of year-round cover, (c) amount of grass or close-seeded legumes, (d) percent of residue cover on the land surface (good ≥ 20%),and (e) degree of surface roughness.
Poor: Factors impair infiltration and tend to increase runoff.
Good: Factors encourage average and better than average infiltration and tend to decrease runoff.

Fair: 50 to 75% ground cover. Good: >75% ground cover.
4 Actual curve number is less than 30; use CN = 30 for runoff computations.5 CN’s shown were computed for areas with 50% woods and 50% grass (pasture) cover. Other combinations of conditions may be computed
from the CN’s for woods and pasture.6 Poor: Forest litter, small trees, and brush are destroyed by heavy grazing or regular burning.
Fair: Woods are grazed but not burned, and some forest litter covers the soil. Good: Woods are protected from grazing, and litter and brush adequately cover the soil.
