Florida Erosion and Sediment Control Inspector's Manual <br /> Design Criteria - <br /> Maximum Drainage Area <br /> Unless the structure is, designed as a permanent pond by a qualified professional engineer, <br /> the maximum allowable drainage area . into the basin shall be 150 acres (61 ha) . <br /> Basin Capacity <br /> The design capacity of the basin must be at least - 134 cubic yards or 3600 cubic feet per <br /> acre (252 m3/ha) of drainage area measured from the bottom of the basin to the crest of <br /> the principal spillway (riser pipe) . Sediment should be removed from the basin when the <br /> volume of the basin has been reduced to 55 cubic yards per acre (104 m3/ha) of drainage <br /> area . The elevation of the sediment clean out level. should be calculated and clearly <br /> marked on the riser. In no case shall the sediment clean out level be higher than one foot <br /> (30 cm) below the top of the riser. (See Plate 4 .26a ) . <br /> Basin Shape <br /> To improve sediment trapping efficiency of the basin , the effective flow length must be <br /> twice the effective flow width . This basin shape may be attained by properly selecting the <br /> site of the basin , by excavation , or by the use of baffles . See Appendix 1 . 26A for design <br /> details . <br /> 67 C.Y. AC."
