Hydrograph Modification Management
SFRWQCB adding C.3 to Bay Area NPDES permits
C.3.f requires Hydrograph Modification Management Plan (HMP)– Control runoff peak flows &
durations to pre-project levels
– Prevent erosion impacts to receiving streams
Contra Costa HMP - approach
Encourage LID for Hydrograph Modification Management
Guidelines already in place for water quality treatment– Typical details
– Sizing spreadsheet
Expand for hydrograph modification management
Contra Costa HMP: Compliance Options Compare Pre- and Post-project Site Conditions
Implement LID using IMP GalleryImplement LID using IMP Gallery– Design details, specifications and sizing factorsDesign details, specifications and sizing factors
Demonstrate flow peak and duration mitigation – Continuous hydrologic model
– Flow peak and duration control
Assess risk of erosion impacts (receiving stream) – Demonstrate low risk of erosion
– Propose alternative mitigation
LID Integrated Management Practices
runoff
precipitation
infiltration
– Mimic natural hydrologic conditions• Retention, infiltration
– Can fit in site landscaping– Practical for small projects
Contra Costa HMP
Challenge:Challenge:Hydrograph Modification Management
IMP design guidance – Make IMP design and sizing easy
– Demonstrate peak and duration control
Solution:Solution:Develop IMP sizing factors using
continuous simulation hydrologic model
IMP Design Guidance – sizing factors Develop Pre-Project and Post-Project Runoff
Time Series using HPSF– Flow peak and duration plots
Build IMPs into the HSPF model
Adjust IMP size until peak and duration plots below pre-project– Sizing factor = (facility size)/(area managed)– Most sizing factors between 0.05 and 0.13
