CHAPTER 200 STORM SEWER CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS Storm Sewer System: 1. Detention/retention of stormwater runoff shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of the DuPage County Countywide Stormwater and Floodplain Ordinance and the Village of Lombard Ordinances and requirements. Side slopes of a detention/retention facility shall be no greater than three feet horizontal to one foot vertical (3:1) or four feet horizontal to one foot vertical (4:1) on a residentially zoned lot. If the minimum slope cannot be achieved, than a structurally engineered retaining wall shall be incorporated into the design of the detention/retention facility. Embankments or excavations adjacent to public right-of-way shall comply with 605 ILCS 5/9-115.1. 2. As a minimum: A. The storm sewer system shall be designed to convey stormwater from a 10- year storm by gravity flow (without any surcharging of the sewer). The Design Engineer shall provide necessary plans and calculations (including hydraulic grade line) to document compliance with this requirement to the satisfaction of the Private Engineering Services Division. B. Where a proposed storm sewer or stormwater drainage system connects to an existing sewer or drainage system, the Design Engineer shall furnish any and all studies and calculations to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Private Engineering Services Division that the existing system has the capacity to accommodate the additional flows without adversely affecting the existing system or other properties. This requirement may include, but is not limited to, hydraulic and hydrologic studies of the entire tributary watershed, not simply the proposed development. Where a storm sewer system is intended to drain additional areas, the studies and calculations shall include all tributary areas. Future development shall be allowed for in the calculations and a proposed development will not be allowed to use up the remaining capacity of a sewer where other undeveloped tributary areas have no other reasonable stormwater outlet.
SECTION 200.01 LINE AND GRADE A proposed development shall adjust (reduce) the allowable release rate based on the capacity of the receiving sewer available to the development. All storm sewer pipe and structures shall be constructed to the planned line and grade. All storm sewer systems shall be designed and constructed at a minimum cleansing velocity of three (3) feet per second. SECTION 200.02 MATERIALS All materials and methods shall conform to the applicable minimum standards established by the American Society for Testing Materials. All storm sewers shall be constructed of reinforced concrete culvert pipe (RCCP) and meet the requirements of Section 550 of the IDOT "Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction", latest edition. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe may be used in landscaped areas or for roof drain connections (from the building to the nearest available downstream storm structure) when located under a privately maintained paved areas, but only when approved in writing by the Private Engineering Services Division. SECTION 200.03 PIPE CULVERTS THROUGH DRIVEWAYS Precoated fully-lined galvanized corrugated steel pipe may be used for residential driveway crossings only when a ditch section is present. Reinforced concrete culvert shall be used for commercial and industrial driveway crossings only when a ditch section is present. Pipe culverts shall meet the requirements of Section 542 of the IDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, latest edition. SECTION 200.04 TRENCH BACKFILL IN PAVED AREAS All trenches for storm sewers located under or within two feet of proposed or existing paved surfaces, stabilized shoulders, curb, or sidewalks, shall be fully backfilled with select granular material conforming to the requirements of Section 208 of the IDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, latest edition, except that the gradation of the material shall be CA-7 from the spring line of the pipe to 12 below the bottom of the pavement. From 12 below the bottom of the pavement to the top of the trench it shall be CA-6. No recycled concrete will be allowed. Selected granular backfill shall be placed in uniform layers not exceeding twelve (12) inches (loose measure) and compacted with mechanical equipment to 95% of the standard proctor CHAPTER 200 - PAGE 2. 1
