Introduction
This report has been prepared to determine the post_ development storm wa ter ru quantities
and the design of onsite storm water facilities including water quality management features for a
proposed new car dealership to be located at 16570 South Highland Avenue in the City of
Fontana, California. The proposed project is approximately 10.7 acres in size and is located
immediately south of the 210 freeway between Cypress and Juniper Avenues. The project site is
currently undeveloped and consists of vacant land and one public street, Highland Avenue.
Proposed improvements will include three buildings, parking lot, landscaping, and associated
underground utilities to serve the project.
Project Description
Existing Site Conditions: The site is an irregular shaped parcel approximately 9.5 acres in
size. It is bounded on the north by Highland Avenue, on the west by Cypress Avenue, on the
south by South Highland Avenue and on the east by an existing car dealership (Rotollo
Chevrolet). The site consists of undeveloped land that drains in a southerly direction at a slope
varying from 2.5% to 4.0 %. Existing vegetation consists of native grasses and one tree. There
are no structures on the site. The site does not accept runoff from any offsite area. There is one
culvert located at the southwest corner of the property that accepts runoff from Cypress Avenue
and conveys it south across South Highland Avenue.
Proposed Site Development: The proposed development consists of the construction of a
new car showroom, a vehicle servicing facility, driveways, sidewalks, parking areas, and
landscaping. As part of the project Highland Avenue is to be vacated by the City and
incorporated into the site plan. The completed project will total approximately 10.7 acres after
the Highland Avenue vacation, and dedication of additional right -of -way for the widening of
Cypress Avenue
Proposed on -site storm water facilities consist of catch basins, two underground storm drain
networks, and two infiltration fields for water quality treatment. All of the storm water facilities
will be privately maintained by the owner. Storm water in excess of the on -site infiltration
capacity will be discharged to South Highland Avenue via parkway drains and allowed to flow
easterly to an existing catch basin in front of the adjacent Chevrolet dealership. No off -site
drainage facilities are proposed.
Hydrology/ Hydraulic Discussion
Background: The site is within the drainage area of the Juniper Avenue Storm Drain and
Detention Basin System. The Juniper Avenue Storm Drain and Detention Basin System is a City
of Fontana Master Plan of Drainage facility. The Juniper Avenue Storm Drain is designed to
accept the ultimate Q100 from a fully developed watershed. As such there is no requirement to
mitigate increased flows or volumes due to developing the site.
Methodology: Hydrology calculations for the project were based on the San Bernardino County
Flood Control District (SBCFCD) Hydrology Manual. The Rational Method was used to determine
catch basin and pipe sizes. Advanced Engineering Software (AES) software was used to develop
Synthetic Unit Hydrographs (in conformance with SBCFCD methodology) to evaluate infiltration
fields. A 25 year frequency was used for all calculations.
Pipe hydraulic calculations were performed using WSPG software from CIVILDESIGN. Catch
basin and weir calculations were performed using Flowmaster software by Haestad Methods

Drainage System Description
The drainage system consists of grate inlets and curb opening catch basins to collect surface
runoff, underground pipes to convey the runoff, Stormtech storm water chambers to infiltrate the
treatment volume, and reverse catch basins and parkway culverts to discharge peak flows. The
WQMP for the project has been previously approved.
The storm drain system is composed of Lines A through C. Surface runoff is collected in lines A
and B and conveyed to an infiltration field by a system of inlets and pipes. The infiltration field
will store 12,199 cubic feet of water. This entire volume will be infiltrated. Just downstream of
the infiltration chambers we propose to install a structure that will block all flows up to the water
quality treatment volume for these drainage areas. Higher flows will be allowed to pass via an
elevated outlet, to the downstream portion of the storm drain. The calculations in this report
assume that the infiltration field is full and that all the storm water is flowing through the
drainage pipes. The areas draining to line C will pass through swales and join the main line of
the storm drain downstream of the infiltration area for Lines A and B. The storm drain will then
drain to a catch basin at the edge of the parking lot. This catch basin has openings on both sides
of the basin. The opening on the parking lot side accepts runoff from area E and the opening on
the opposite side discharges runoff to the street. The runoff from area E will drop into the
bottom of the catch basin and be conveyed to the adjacent infiltration chambers which will store
676 cubic feet of water. These chambers are located such that the water quality treatment
volume will be contained below the elevation of the outlet opening. As the chambers fill, runoff
will accumulate in the catch basin until it reaches the elevation of the outlet. This reverse catch
basin will outlet to a rectangular concrete surface channel that crosses a landscaped area and
connects to a parkway drain. The reverse catch basin also accepts runoff from the storm drain
and acts like a mini reservoir. Runoff will pond within the catch basin until it reaches the outlet
opening on the backside of the basin. At this point runoff will exit the catch basin into the
rectangular channel. The bottom of the catch basin will be perforated to allow any captured
runoff to infiltrate into the soil. Sub area D1 will run through a swale and then connect to the
concrete channel and combine with the drainage from lines A through C and area E1. The
channel will eventually discharge into South Highland Avenue via the parkway drain. Area D2 will
run through a swale and then through a separate parkway drain to the street.
