Sure thing.

Any idea when you plan resubmit (Just so I don’t forget about this project)?

I’m working remotely for the time being so I did not get/cannot check my voicemail.

Generally, what we look for in the riprap sizing calculations is the following:
 Provide calculations for the peak 10-year flowrate.
o Generally calculated using the Rational Method (Q=CiA), but can also use routing for riprap downstream
of a SCM outlet (Sand filters generally pass stormwater through fairly quickly so routing the 10-year
storm through the facility to potentially reduce the size of the riprap apron probably isn’t “worth it”, but
feel free to do that if you like).
o For drainage areas with multiple land uses/hydrologic soil groups, show how the composite C value is
calculated for the drainage area.
o Show how the time of concentration is calculated as it is needed (in conjunction with NOAA rainfall
data) to determine the rainfall intensity, i.
 Using the 10-year peak flow rate, outlet pipe size, and tailwater conditions, either Figure 8.06a or Figure 8.06b
of the E&SC Design Manual (Attached) can be used to determine the riprap sizing required (Feel free to use any
other design methodology for energy dissipation design. If you are, just make a note of it in the report). The
information on those figures shouldn’t be extrapolated so if the chart shows that no riprap is needed, just show
that in the calculations. I’ve also attached an example of how to use the chart (Assuming the 10-year peak
flowrate is 100 cfs and the outlet pipe is 30 inches in diameter).

If I didn’t answer your question or if you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to me via email.

Hey Jim, and Happy Monday! I am reaching out to see if you got the messages from my engineer Lars Godwin? We
want to clarify something on the riprap calculations before we submit back to you. If case you didn’t get his contact
information I will put it below. Thank you for your time and help with this.

Good Morning,

Per the request for additional information letter sent on April 9, 2020, the resubmittal for this project was due on May 8,

extension, please reply to this email with the anticipated resubmittal date. Failure to respond to this email by close of
