         (b)   For flow routing through detention facilities models such as; SWMM, StormNet and HydroCAD are also acceptable methods.
   (B)   Culverts and open channel design.
      (1)   Culverts shall be designed in accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 5.
      (2)   Open channels shall be designed using the energy concept and the Manning formula.
      (3)   Channels in earth shall have sides with a maximum slope of one-foot vertical rise for every two feet of horizontal distance.
      (4)   Steeper slopes will be permitted only if some type of bank protection is used to prevent erosion and sloughing of the sides into the bottom of the channel.
      (5)   Constructed and natural channels and culverts shall be designed with sufficient capacity to convey, at a minimum, the depth associated with the 100-year 24-hour design storm peak flow rate, assuming developed conditions for on-site tributary areas and existing conditions for any off-site tributary areas.

      (2)   The direction of flow, acreage of areas contributing drainage to the development, the outline of the development and location of intermittent streams or drainage courses which are within the site boundaries shall be indicated on this map.
   (F)   Surface water entering the subject property shall be received at the naturally occurring location, and surface water exiting the subject property shall be discharged at the natural location, with adequate energy dissipaters within the subject property to eliminate the potential for detriment to the existing downstream infrastructure.
