ATV A 101E Foreword

There are numerous specialist aspects to be taken into account with the planning of new construction, rehabilitation and renewal measures for drainage systems. If these do not, from the start and to the respectively required degree, flow into the project work, planners, customers and test authorities must reckon with considerably more work than would otherwise be avoidable. Enquiries, subsequent correction or modification of already executed project tasks play an important role in this. Prime aim of this Advisory Leaflet is to increase the quality of planning. In the interest of its sound applicability, the planning aspects are presented to a considerable extent as headings or in the form of a check-list. The scope of the planning is divided according to different planning phases in order to contain results capable of providing statements for the respectively necessary decisions and actions. The requirements of the ATV Standard A 101 produced in January 1992 are now covered in DIN prEN 752 " Drainage Systems Outside Buildings". Therefore, this ATV Standard A 101 required adjustment. In accordance with the new rules in the ATV A 400 "Principles for the Preparation of Rules and Standards", January 1994 edition, there is now an issue as Advisory Leaflet. The Advisory Leaflet attempts, as far as possible without gaps, to present and elucidate the principles and elements of planning of public and larger non-public drainage systems. In this connection particular value is placed on the planning of rehabilitation and renewal measures. In addition, efforts are made to bring the planning phases into line with the activity phases described in the Remuneration Regulation for Architects and Engineers (HOAI). Nevertheless it is emphasised that some of the following listed planning services do not, in the sense of the HOAI, represent "Basic Services" but rather "Special Services", and are not regulated individually in the HOAI such as, for example, studies, general drainage planning.

The application of this Advisory Leaflet is certainly also possible for planning which goes further than the general rules of wastewater engineering, such as, for example, verification of pollution load for overflow structures, investigations of discharge controls. On the other hand, the scope of preparation can, without problem, be limited to the planning of simple or subordinate subjects. The details and statements can then be simplified. Considered in this way this Advisory Leaflet can, even for experienced engineers, be also a valuable aid in their task.

1.1

Scope
Objective

The Advisory Leaflet describes recommendations from whose observation functionally efficient and economic drainage systems can be planned. May 1996

ATV A 101E
These results can be summarised by those responsible for the disposal of wastewater into a technical wastewater action plan (AMP = "Abwasser Manahmenplan"). 1.2 Area of Application

The Advisory Leaflet applies for the planning of new construction, rehabilitation and renewal measures of drain and sewer systems. Below are listed, in abbreviated form, the contents and scope of the planning which, in individual cases, derive from the tasking and the desired services for the solution of the tasks under consideration. The planning tasks are divided, in accordance with the HOAI, into the following activity phases: determination of the basic elements (DBE); initial planning (IP); draft planning (DP); approval planning (AP), and implementation planning (IMP).

The fundamental contents of these activity phases are laid down in the HOAI and are defined precisely in this Advisory Leaflet for the special requirements placed on the planning of drainage systems. With this, the breakdown into activity phases represents a vertical structure by which the respective subsequent activity is built up smoothly from its predecessor. In addition, there is a horizontal breakdown within the individual activity phases into "basic activities" and "special activities". Basic activities include the activities which are, in general, necessary for the correct fulfilment of a planning task. Special activities are those which, in special cases, are necessary to supplement the basic activities in order to achieve a desired result. A particular form of planning activity for drainage systems is represented by the Study and the General Drainage Plan. (GDP).

Definitions

The special forms of planning activity not described in the HOAI are defined below. Study The study gives first general statements on the realisation of the planning intentions with larger drainage areas. In order to avoid allowing the development of technical drainage problems at this point in the planning, Federal State and local planning objectives, requirements of water management plans, local bylaws, public and private legal contracts and other similar interests should already be taken into account. As a rule, a study includes the determination of basic elements and part of the initial planning.

General Drainage Plan (GDP) May 1996

ATV A 101E
The general drainage plan, within the overall planning activity, goes considerably further than the "Study". Accordingly, there is a larger number of plans to be prepared which have more sentential force. The GDP includes, as for the study, the problems of larger drainage areas or several community areas and can thus be the basis of further planning activities. The general drainage plan, as a rule, goes further than the initial planning of sewer networks and contains part of the draft planning. Technical Wastewater Measures Plan (TWMP) The Technical Wastewater Measures Plan (TWMP) summarises the results of individual planning activities, including costs and timely sequence of the action concepts. It corresponds with legally laiddown wastewater disposal concepts or plans of some of the Federal German States.

3.1

Principles for Planning

General

In accordance with the water laws of the Federal German States the basic planning for the production or modification of public sewer networks requires, as a rule, approval within water law. In future, the tasks will mainly consist of rehabilitating or renewing existing sewer networks which are hydraulically overloaded, show too high an overflow frequency or are in a poor structural condition. With this, it can certainly be necessary to involve a considerably larger area in the planning than that of the actual construction measure. The scope of a planning activity should be agreed well in time by the customer, planner and the responsible specialist authority. This applies in particular to the determination of the basic elements, the initial planning, the study and the general drainage plan as, in connection with this, there are often different concepts on the financial involvement. Taking into account the technical, economic, and ecological necessities - above all with important, cost incurring projects - planning tasks are to be detailed sufficiently so that, through this, the construction and operating costs can be determined accurately. Bases for the planning of drainage systems are, in addition to the legal regulations (regulation by statutes), for example: Administrative Regulations, Standards, Advisory Leaflets and similar of the responsible Federal State and local authorities; Relevant DIN Standard Specifications The ATV German Set of Rules and Standards, and the respective drainage bylaws.

The requirements on drainage systems and their planning are contained in DIN EN 752 "Drainage Systems outside Buildings".

ATV A 101E
3.2 Planning Objectives In accordance with 18b of the Water Resources Law (WHG) wastewater treatment plants are to be erected and operated taking into account the usage conditions and the directions for the discharge of wastewater in accordance with the respective rules of technology which come into question. In this respect, seen today, the following objectives are to be observed with the planning of drainage installations: harmless collection and conveyance of wastewater, not least for epidemic-hygienic reasons; harmless collection and conveyance of stormwater insofar as it cannot be percolated or irrigated; reduction of the loading of lakes and rivers; production of lasting leakproof sewers and the rehabilitation of leaking sewers; optimisation of production and operating costs; avoidance of non-acceptable interference with the ecology.

The first two objectives can be achieved with sewers and storage volumes (damping of discharge peaks) or open systems (stormwater) which are sufficiently hydraulically dimensioned. In addition, a wastewater engineering practical layout of sewers, installation of emergency overflows, a control of discharge as well as an appropriate design with the application of suitable materials which satisfy wastewater engineering and hygienic requirements, are of significance. Moreover, systems for the percolation of non-harmful, untreated precipitation water should be constructed following hydrological examination. The third objective can be realised, in particular with the following measures: reduction of the overflow parameters (overflow frequency, sum of discharges, discharge duration and load) at the structures with overflow in the combined sewer system; removal of faulty connections in the separate sewer system (with storm and wastewater sewers); reduction of the amount of wastewater (stormwater, combined wastewater and wastewater), e.g. through rainwater percolation, cooling and industrial usage water circulation in commercial and industrial concerns, reduction of water consumption; reduction of water inflow from ditches, springs, streams and drainage pipelines (discharge only exceptionally and exclusively into stormwater sewers of the separate system taking into account possible flooding); sewer network management.

The fourth objective can be achieved in that a leakproof sewer network is created in the public zone (sewers, shafts) and on private property and leaking sewers are rehabilitated. Through this, on one side, a penetration by ground and percolation water and, on the other hand, an escape of wastewater and its contents into the subsoil and thus into the groundwater are avoided. The fifth objective can, above all, be realised through greater planning resources, in particular with investigation of different alternative solutions, also with the selection of the May 1996

ATV A 101E
drainage system, the site of the special structure or by control of discharge. The selection of the drainage system (combined, separate system) can, incidentally, take place according to ATV Standard A 105 "Selection of Drainage Systems". In addition, realistic estimates for the discharges and a sewer network plan matched to the sewage treatment plant are important. Finally, the sixth objective can be observed if the natural and ecological characteristics such as, for example, the affected fauna and flora, the subsoil and groundwater conditions and their possible changes with the construction and operation of the drainage system can already be taken into account in the planning. With serious conflicts of aims, hydraulic interests take priority with the planning of a sewer system. 3.3 Requirements on the Planner

In order to ensure well-founded planning results and thus the preconditions for a faultless function of the drainage system, planning is to be given only to qualified and appropriately experienced specialists who are familiar with the rules of wastewater engineering. Insofar that, in addition, installations are to be planned in accordance with the status of technology, for example with new calculation principles and procedures, new principles of construction as well as new technology in production, operation and maintenance of the wastewater system, its facilities or parts thereof,

additional qualifications such as, for example, relevant references, are to be verified. 3.4 Given Planning Data

Before the start of the actual planning tasks, the following data and planning documents, as far as respectively necessary, should, in particular, be available: general plans, general site plans and site plans of the planning area, area usage plan and housing development plans, inventory plans of the drainage systems, inventory plans of pipelines of other suppliers, survey documents and height datum points, previous drainage plans, aerial photographs of the drainage area population and water usage numbers, direct and indirect dischargers from commercial and industrial concerns, precipitation data and/or actual rainfall assessments, water levels and water flows of the surface waters affected, subsoil data and groundwater levels, measured dry weather and wet weather run-offs, details on known bottle-necks and points of constraint within the existing drainage systems.

May 1996

ATV A 101E
Fundamentally, before the recalculation of an existing sewer network, measurements of the discharges and/or water levels are to be carried out and evaluated for the planning task. Moreover, observed defects or defects substantiated by measurement as well as other operational experiences from the rehabilitation of a sewer network are to be taken into account.

Explanatory Report

For each planning activity a summarised but exhaustive explanatory report is to be produced. It must correspond with the contents of the respective planning phase. With implementation planning the explanatory report can be dispensed with. The structure and the organisation of an explanatory report is presented in Appendix 1. The headings listed are an aid to person responsible for compilation, but are by no means exhaustive. On the other hand, not all the aspects listed there have to be covered. Rather it is sufficient, according to the tasking, to process only those which influence the planning. As far as necessary it is to be differentiated between what exists and what is planned. Texts are to be supplemented to the required degree by graphic and tabular presentation.

Water Pollution Control

Water pollution control covers all measures for the protection of surface waters, of the groundwater and of the soil from adverse influences. It assists the maintenance or the creation of water quality which ensures that the affected lake or river can serve the wellbeing of the general public and, in harmony with it, usage by the individual. Legal principles for water pollution control in the Federal Republic of Germany are the introduced supranational agreements (Directives of the Management Board of the European Community such as, for example, the Water Pollution Control Directive of 1976 with its successive directives), the Water Resources Law (WHG), the Wastewater Rates Law (AbwAG), the Federal State Water Laws with the associated statutory regulations and, finally, the decrees, administrative regulations, standards, etc., of the responsible Federal State Water Authorities. With the planning of drainage systems the question of the wastewater discharge into a lake or river can play an important and decisive role. The discharge of wastewater requires permission under water law in accordance with 7 of the WHG. It may, however, only then be given for the discharge of wastewater if the observation of certain requirements is ensured (see 7a, Para. 1 of the WHG). If no hazardous substances reach the receiving waters with the wastewater then the relevant requirements must be fulfilled according to the recognised rules of technology. On the contrary, should the wastewater contain substances which, due to statutory regulations, are to be assessed as hazardous (see 7a WHG), then the requirements must correspond with the status of technology. Such requirements result in the implementation of 7a WHG, from the Wastewater Source Regulation (AbwHerkV) and the "General Outline Administrative Regulation on Minimum Requirements on the Discharge of Wastewater into Lakes and Rivers (Rahmen-AbwasserVwV)" with the respective appendices, which are, in particular, to be observed. The Federal States must May 1996

10

ATV A 101E
ensure that the requirements for hazardous substances are already met before discharge into a public wastewater system (sewer network). For this, the respective Federal State water laws and the so-called Indirect Discharger Regulations are to be observed. In addition, further requirements can be made on a wastewater discharge by the responsible water authority if this appears to be necessary for reasons of water pollution control. Wastewater systems are to be established and operated taking into consideration the usage conditions and rates for the discharge of wastewater according to the respective rules of technology which come into consideration for this. These rules can include the generally recognised rules of technology as well as the status of technology. The method of consideration which goes beyond local limitations and the agreement of all users of the lake or river, which are necessary for an effective protection of the surface waters, should be achieved, according to the WHG, through the production of plans for wastewater disposal, of water management general plans and of management plans. From the aspect of groundwater protection the requirements are to be seen as considerably tighter, as here, according to the given details of the Water Resources Law (WHG), the basis of concern applies. This is to be observed particularly with the selection of construction materials and the construction. With the rehabilitation of local networks the structural condition of the drainage systems are to be determined in addition to the examination of the hydraulic efficiency. So far as systems lie in water catchment areas (water protective areas) additional requirements are to be placed on the wastewater installations see (ATV Standard A 142, DVGW Standard W 101). The details on the lakes and rivers, the given planning details as well as the required verification necessary, from the water pollution control aspect, are summarised in Appendix 2. Which planning principles are required in which planning stage is, in individual cases, to be decided according to the special Federal State regulation, the situation of the lake or river, the desired accuracy of planning results and the statement of the problem. It is recommended that, already in the planning stage, one reaches agreement with the responsible water authorities and with the other users of the lake or river. Should nature, landscape conservancy or other ecologically valuable areas be affected by the planning the nature conservancy authorities should be involved at an early stage.

ATV A 101E 6 Hydrologic and Wastewater Engineering Initial Data

The hydrological and wastewater engineering initial data for the planning of drainage systems listed in Appendix 3 represents a summary of the overall types of data necessary or desirable in the various planning phases. With this, the systems "Drainage Network" (public and non-public sewer systems) and "Lakes and Rivers" are respectively summarised. Which types of data in which planning phase are necessary depend on the required accuracy of the planning results and are to be decided on a case-by-case basis. In accordance with the required accuracy and in accordance with the selected calculation procedure the drainage area is subdivided into sub-catchment areas and calculation stretches. The types of data, as far as necessary, are to be raised for the actual status and forecast respectively.

Hydrologic and Hydraulic Calculations

The listings in Appendix 4 represent a summary of the hydrologic and hydraulic calculation steps or procedures which come into question in the various planning phases. Which of these steps or procedures are used in the individual planning phases depends on the significance and complexity of the planning object and on the required information of the planning results. The scope and the execution capability of the applied calculation procedures, as a rule, increase with the size and wastewater engineering significance of the planning object. Thus one can, for example, continue to apply the time coefficient procedure even with the planning of a small sewer network. With the rehabilitation calculation of a large city drainage network one would, on the other hand, for example apply a hydraulic-dynamic sewer network model which works, according to the tasking, with different area and network distribution. Further, one would either be able to fall back on existing precipitation details or one would have to base the planning on an own locally executed, valid precipitation analysis. In addition an intensive observation and analysis of the given discharge conditions should take place over an as long as possible period of time.

ATV A 101E 8 Supplementary Investigations

Further investigations, inter alia, on the subjects below, can be necessary with the planning of a drainage system: operational safety of the drainage system accident prevention measures operational instructions maintenance plans precautions against operational faults selection of suitable materials Determination of the soil permeability (permeability coefficient) Condition of existing sewer networks (cadastral register) age constructional condition, e.g. fracture sites, leaks, corrosion deposit condition faulty connections commercial and industrial dischargers Measurement and control planning and installation of measurement systems calibration of measurement sites production of software for data recording remote transmission of measured data development of regulation and control systems Data management and evaluation software production, e.g. for data banks, special evaluations evaluation of measurements of, for example, precipitation, discharges, water levels, water and wastewater quality as well as damage reports and operational logbooks Avoidance or reduction of emissions noises, e.g., with pump stations drop shafts gases and odours, e.g. with the outlets of pressure pipelines Production of financing and cash-flow plans Avoidance or reduction of incursions into nature and the landscape landscape care companion plan incursion and balance plan.

Quantitative Determination

The Quantitative determination is necessary as preparatory task for cost determination (Sect. 10) and the assessment of the planning (Sect. 11). It depends on the requirements to be placed there. With this, the following accuracy is recommended:

Quantitative Determination for the Cost Calculations Quantitative determination with the accuracy which stems from the draft documents. With this, an accuracy sufficient for the request for tender documentation is still not achieved. Quantitative Determination for the Drawing Up of Articles and Conditions (Cost Estimate Quantitative determination on the basis of implementation planning in accordance with the Contract Procedure for Construction Services (VOB), Part C and the Contract Procedure for Services (VOL).

10. Determination of Costs

10.1 General The accuracy of determination of the production costs is to be matched to the selected planning stage and with the section "Quantitative determination". With this the recording of the complete costs for the planned measures are also of particular significance. Along with the production costs for the drainage installations such as sewers, pump stations, special structures, the following costs, as far as recognisable, are to be taken into account: construction site, traffic control/diversion incl. follow-on measures, re-establishment of roads, laying of supply lines, crossing of superior traffic routes, energy supply for pump stations incl. emergency supply and control, May 1996

14

ATV A 101E
ecological follow-on measures (maintenance of groundwater level, maintenance or re-establishment of green areas, nature protection and marshy areas, balancing and alternative measures), ancillary construction measures (e.g. site investigations, planning, construction management, procedures for recording of evidence), other follow-on measures, compensation.

The costs are either to be calculated into the specific production costs or indicated globally. They can be subdivided into construction sections. With this, if required, administrative agreements and other cost drivers are to be taken into account. The following classifications are differentiated based on DIN 276, Part 2, "Costs of Buildings, Cost Determinations": 10.2 Cost Assumption it includes specific costs for area drainage in DM/ha main, collection sewer in DM/m special structures such as, for example, pump stations, stormwater in DM/item overflows, stormwater overflow tanks, stormwater retention tanks sewage treatment plants in DM/item

10.3 Cost Appraisal It includes specific costs for drains and collection sewers (dependent on profile) usable tank volumes reconstructed space (above/under ground part) delivery flow from pump stations connection value of a sewage treatment plant dependent on DM/IPE treatment process in DM/m in DM/m3 in DM/m3 in DM/(l/s) in

10.4 Cost Calculation It includes costs for main items, e.g. for different types of excavation work in DM/m3, trench support sheeting in DM/m2, raw materials in DM/m.. Equally the costs for ground purchase, release from special rights, ecological follow-on costs, construction overheads (such as, for example, engineer costs, costs for construction site investigations), taxes and unforeseen costs are to be listed specially. 10.5 Cost Estimate It includes the investment costs by applying locally accepted prices in the articles and conditions and thus represents the detailed allocation of costs. However, here care is to May 1996

15

ATV A 101E
be taken that only the production costs for construction and delivery services are recorded. The accuracy of the cost determinations is greater the more price influencing cost factors are taken into account. These depend, however, on the selected planning stage. The following types of cost determination are recommended: Type of determination Cost assumption Cost estimate Cost calculation Offer cost Study x o DPR x o PP x DP _ x IP o

x = necessary, o = possibly necessary or desirable, - = not necessary

11

Evaluation of Planning Alternatives

11.1 Fundamentals With the planning of a wastewater engineering measure the consideration of alternative solution possibilities is often unavoidable particularly when the measure concerned requires a considerable expenditure of financial means or, as a result, has significant effects on the environment. In such cases the alternative solutions are to be selected practically and clearly differentiated against each other. This can, for example, be the case with the following problems: combined, separate or special systems, collection/transport sewers or retention tanks/sewers with storage capacity and overflow, low-lying interceptor sewers or pump stations, several stormwater overflows or combinations, connection of distant built-up areas to the actual sewer network or transfer to neighbouring communities, retention of the old route or new sewer line, discharge, usage or percolation of stormwater.

The comparison and calculations for the solution of the above given tasks should be based on comparable principles and cover the effects on the overall system. The production costs are to be determined with appropriate accuracy (see Sect. 10). The operating costs (personnel and material costs) should be taken into account, with similar accuracy to the production costs, in the following groups: administration, May 1996

16

ATV A 101E
servicing and operation including monitoring, maintenance, operating means, supply and disposal (e.g. energy, water, sludge, screenings).

11.2 Investigations into Operational Efficiency One obtains, as important result of the investigated planning alternatives, the investment costs to be met and annual operating costs. Economic efficiency investigations are to be carried out in order to obtain the most economic solution. They represent assessment procedures which compare costs of a similar type. For this, the following are suitable: the annuity method, and the discounted cash flow method.

With the annuity method the annual costs (DM/a) are calculated from the capital costs (annual write-off and calculated interest) and the annual operating costs. With the discounted cash flow method the real value (DM) is determined from the investment costs and the capitalised operating costs. In addition, one differentiates according to statistic methods and dynamic methods, which take into account changing price and cost developments. The results of the respective economic efficiency investigations are to be set down in a clearly visible form. 11.3 Further Evaluation Criteria For a comprehensive assessment of planning alternatives, in addition to the economic factors from Sect. 11.2, further monetarily serious or non-ascertainable aspects should be taken into account: operating safety, effects on the environment such as, for example, pollution control, flood and nature protection, risks of selected materials, impairment with implementation of construction, emissions (also noise and odour), effects on town development, timely realisation (urgency, expansion stage, partial success), financing.

Through these the overall best solution can be found with small cost differences. For the selection of a planning alternative a benefit-cost analysis can also be useful in special cases.

ATV A 101E 13 Potential for Cost savings

With the disposal of wastewater the potential for cost savings is greater in the conceptional, planning area than in the later constructional design and construction. The detailing and assessment of alternatives with different drainage solutions and demands on the ease of drainage is an essential prerequisite for this. The necessary planning is therefore to be selected directly towards the type and scope of the respective planning tasks. Here the design possibilities and planning flexibility of the technical rules and standards should be fully utilised. To this extent this Advisory Leaflet - applied correctly - can contribute considerably to cost savings with the construction of drainage systems.

Appendix 5 Breakdown and Content of Plans

1 General Plans The general plans should show how the project is to be related to the broader surroundings, to other projects, to other usages and to protective areas. The following inputs are, in accordance with the tasking, recommended for the scales 1:50000, 1:25000 and 1:10000: 2 catchment areas (overall, partial, external) protective areas (water, mineral springs, nature, landscape) receiving waters with flooding areas main collector sewers sewage treatment plants special structures contour lines General Site Plans

The general site plans in the scales 1:5000, 1:2500 and 1:2000 should present the project in more detail. Following inputs are recommended: 3 catchment areas (overall, partial, external) protective areas (water, mineral springs, nature, landscape) water catchment areas receiving waters with flooding areas discharge points into the receiving water areas identified in legally effective area usage and building plans partial drainage areas available, planned and disused main collector sewers with details of flow direction, type, cross-section and gradient of the sewers special structures with pump stations, stormwater tanks, stormwater overflows, inverted siphons, outlet structures sewage treatment plants Site Plans

They should contain all essential measured details, limitations, line directions and structures according to the task. Apart from the arable land boundaries, boundary points, official fixed points and buildings they should include all important topographic details, street names and house numbers. Insofar as inputs which are of significance for the local situation are missing (e.g. street limitation lines, supporting walls), they are to be May 1996

34

ATV A 101E
supplemented correspondingly with observation of DIN 18702. 1:2000, 1.1000, 1:500, and, if required, 1:250 are recommended as scales. According to requirements the site plans can include: property boundaries, front garden lines, curbs property descriptions, plot number, house number, if required more detailed description of the building street and building boundary lines, street names trees existing and planned sewers with flow direction, cross-section, gradient, sewer section length, material, if required, lateral inflows, protective pipes shafts with height of sewer base, manhole cover upper lip height and necessary height of the terrain numbering of shaft or sewer and/or sewer section special structures with, for example, pump stations, lifting stations, diversion structures, stormwater tanks, stormwater overflows, inverted siphons and pipe bridges, flushing shafts, outlet structures operational installations such as, for example, ventilation and air extraction installations, measurement points, control and regulation facilities receiving water: name, flow direction, water levels, stationing in kilometres discharge points into the receiving water or into the drain into the receiving water natural or predetermined flooding areas fixed height datum points and, if required, contour lines catchment areas, surfaced catchment areas and/or discharge coefficient and, if required, terrain slope, region number drainage system, free-flow or pressure pipelines sewage treatment plants Computer Network Plans

The computer network plans should present the essential structure of the sewer network including all special structures. With this, the hydraulic calculations carried out can be checked for their logic and the effects of possible sewer network modifications on the discharge conditions can be viewed better and more quickly. According to the task and the scope of planning the scales 1:2500, 1:2000, 1:1000, and, if required, 1:500 are recommended. The computer network plans should contain the follow inputs: important street names all shafts and sewers with flow direction and numbering receiving water at the discharge points hydraulic loading of the sewers, differentiated according to the scale of loading and overloading May 1996

ATV A 101E
5 back-up areas expansion stages of the sewers to be renewed. Flow Diagrams

The flow diagrams should allow a rapid and comprehensive review of the overall concept of the drainage planning with the inclusion of the receiving water and of the sewage treatment plants. The flow diagrams are developed from the general plans and general site plans and must be matched with the computer network plans. This schematic presentation should give overall visibility of where and under what conditions the run-off from which areas is discharged into the most important collector sewers and/or receiving waters. This information is, for example, of particular significance with regard to the necessary extralocal method of consideration of the receiving water mentioned in Sect. 3.1. The flow diagrams should be built up from the elements area, pipe or channel length and structure. They should show, in very simplified but relevantly related form, the following inputs whereby the same, most important designations and numbers as in the abovementioned fundamental plans are to be used: 6 catchment areas (overall, partial, external) receiving water main collector sewer, transport stretches special structures such as pump stations, stormwater tanks, stormwater overflows control and regulating facilities sewage treatment plants discharge points (outlet structures) into the receiving water with stationing in kilometres General Longitudinal Sections and Longitudinal Sections

All general longitudinal sections and longitudinal sections should be presented with decline from left to right and have the same scale as the site plans. As a rule the scale 1:100 is to be selected for the height. All height details are to be referred to MSL. It can be practical to show the longitudinal section for the receiving water in another scale to that of the sewers. The general longitudinal sections with longitudinal scales of 1:10000, 1:5000, 1:2500 and 1: 2000 should allow a good overview of the complete planning measure. Therefore in these plans only the most important inputs appear. On the other hand, the longitudinal sections with longitudinal scales of 1:1000, 1:500 and, if required, 1:250 allow a comprehensive representation of the planning criteria and results. The following inputs, according to the respective task, are recommended:

ATV A 101E
6.1 Receiving Waters River floor heights (in the valley line) Heights of banks Existing and planned dikes Important water levels for processing and hydraulic calculation such as, for example mean low water level MLWL (with MLQ) mean high water level MHWL (with MHQ) highest known high water level HHWL (with HHQ) with details of annual occurrence calculated water levels of certain annual occurrences tidal water levels Discharge points from public and private sewers Junctions and branches of natural and artificial lakes and rivers Position of cross-sections Bridges Sewers, inverted siphons, pipelines, cables Stationing in kilometres

ATV A 101E
7 Pump and lifting stations Structure and Special Plans

The necessary inputs into these plans can be different according to the purpose of the plans and the scope of the planning task. 7.1 Structure Plans 1:100, 1:50 or greater can be chosen as scale. The following inputs are recommended: type and quality of materials dimensions heights mechanical and electrical installations measurement facilities measurement and reference points relevant water levels of the receiving water groundwater levels with details of measurement periods profiles of subsoil investigations protective measures

7.2 Special Plans From the large number of special plans only a few can be named as examples which can be produced in the most varied of scales as diagrams or lists: co-ordinating plans (co-ordination with city works, supply agencies, post and similar) pegging plans static and constructive plans register of owners ecological inventory recultivation plans plans on ecological compensating measures landscape preservation attendant plans traffic diversion plans plans for provisions plans for usage rights, work and buffer strips cash flow plans construction time plans
