the increase of the rate of runoff. The storage compensatory =
6,6100 cubic feet.
Peak flow 12.5 hrs. after a storm; then 13 hours after a storm,
trickling begins.
Vinnie Cotreau: How much water in ditch?
O'Day: Cannot make the ditch big enough to hold what runs off the ball
field. Can only handle what comes from his project. Our impact is
over the 40 acres. We will make the ditch bigger. A new plan will be
coming showing the cross section of the weir, the ditch and the
cul-de-sac included in the plan. To enlarge the ditch to hold an
increase of 33%. More storage in the watershed.
