A "measurable storm event" is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site outfali. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is representative for i local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval from the local DEMLR Regional Office.

PW 2 of 2 F-24Z 3 OM]IM23 Stormwater Discharge Calculations WIEEAND COPPER PRODUCTS, LLC 2020 Calendar Year Rationale for Discharge Calculadons The rational formula is used for the basis of the calculations. The rational formula has been developed to calculate the rate of run-off from a rain event of a given intensity over a given area. The formula is written: Q=CIA where: Q is the rate of run-off flow in cubic feet per second (CFS) - I is the rain intensity in inches per hour A is the land area contributing run-off to the discharge point and: C is a run-off coefficient which ranges from 0 for a completely pervious surface to 1.0 for a completely impervious surface. The rational formula results from the fact that, for a completely impervious surface, a rainfall of one inch over a period of one hour on an area of one acre will result in a run-off discharge of one CFS. The run-off coefficient C can be thought of as a correction factor based on the percentage of the total rainfall which will run off from a given area due to how pervious or impervious the surface of that area is. Since the discharge permit for this facility requires an estimate of the total discharge from the storm event during which samples are collected, we will use a modified form of the rational formula to calculate the total discharge as follows: Qt = CRA (0.027) where: Qt is the total discharge in Million Gallons C is the run-off coefficient as defined above It is the total amount of rainfall in inches A is the surface area contributing flow to the sample location in acres and: The constant 0.027 in the modified equation corrects the units to Million Gallons (MG) based on the fact that 1 acre -inch = 0.027 MG For drainage areas which are comprised of a combination of pervious and impervious areas, the formula can be written as follows: Qt = [C e A, + C2A21 (R) (0.027) where: C 1= C factor for pervious areas Ai = pervious area contributing to the outfall in acres C2 = C factor for impervious areas A2 = impervious area contributing to the outfall in acres Discha a Calculations `ne total rainfall for the November 11, 2020 storm during which samples were collected at this facility was 5.65 inches. We will use generally accepted conservative estimates of the nm-off coefficient of C=1.71 for impervious areas, and C= 0.50 for pervious areas. The drainage areas contributing to each of the five outfalls as follows: Outfall Total Area (acres) Pervious Area (acres) @ C=0.50 Impervious Area (acres) @ C=0.90 003 5.26 2.63 (50%) 2.63 (50°/®) Total Discharge at Stormwater Discharge ®utfa11003 Qt = [(0.50)(8.05) + (0.90)(3.45)] (5.65) (0.027) Qt =1.09 MG Page 2 of 2
