Chapters 1, 2 and 3 serve as the driver of the Manual while the rest, Chapter 4 to 20, detail the necessary design methods and procedures on relevant stormwater facilities. This edition is supplemented and ended with Annexures; on ecological plants and maintenance. Stormwater management design zoquises a multi skills and multi-disciplinary approach and it should be expected Uhat some Chapters ate interrelated. However, ezch Chapter is. simplified, concised and complete in the coverage of its own subject material. 1. GENERAL 11 Goal and Objectives The goal of this Manual is to provide easy guidance to all zegulators, plansiers anid designers who are involved in stormwater management implementation, which is often undertaken by a number of organisations. The challenge is to ensure that the administration of the planning, design and maintenance of stormwater ‘management systems is consistent across the relevant Locel, State and Federal Authorities and the professions of urban development, environmental, water sesousces, civil engineering and landscape architecture. Under this direction, stormwater management will have multiple green and hazards-free objectives within and downstream of development area + Enaure the safety ofthe public; + Control auisance flooding and provide for the safe passage of less frequent or lager flood events; + Stabilise the landform and control erosion: + Minimise the environmental impact of runoff; and + Enhance the urban landscapé and ecology. 12 Scope This Manual covers most of the important aspects and requirements of stormuvater management practices for now and existing urban areas 13 Required Knowledge Engineers, architects, planness and others who are involved in applying the guidelines set out in this Manual should have underlaken an appropriate course of study in their subject. For example, design engineers are expected primarily to have undertaken a course in hydrolegy and hydraulics, within tertiary evil engineering curriculum or equivalent experience, inorder to apply the subject matter in the Manal 14 Related Stormwater Management Documents ‘The selated document “Design Guides for Erosion and Sediment Control in Malaysia (DID, 2010)" should be considered when planning urban development and/or designing stormwater management infiastructuxe. vii Uren Stormeoater Management Manual for Malaysia - 2nd Eaton lated 23 May 2012 Jp:/swew water gov my NOT FOR SALE 2 ENHANCED DESIGN SKILLS ‘The Manual explains the design methods of each stormwater management control components in subsequent chapters. Users should not limit themselves only to the material available within this Manual but also to have initiatives in research to enhance their design and tc continuously build up knowledge in this aspect which can subsequently be added on to enhance their design ssils. Users should explore maximum combinations of these components as are practicable to meet their clesign objectives. 3. CONTENTS ‘The Chapters were prepared covering mainly administration, quantity control design, quality control design and conveyance design. They ate accompanied by Annexures on planting and maintenance. In each design chapter, background information, analysis and simplified design procedures are presented. Where appropriate, supporting basic theory and worked examples are also provided to assist the users. 34 Administration and Requirement These early sections are the key that sets requirement and disection to enable users t start and finish the facility design process of a stormwater facility project. Chapter 1 - Design Acceptance Criteria provides mainly design Average Recurrence Intervals (ARIs) for both quantity control and conveyance system as well as prescribed. Water Quality Volume (WQV) for quality conto system. Before proceeding to subsequent design Chapters, design fundamentals for quantity and quality management facilities are provided in Chapters 2 and 3, respectively. They puesent hydrologic, hydraulic and water quality principles, methods and procedures that are inherent in the stormwater system design. ‘These three (3) Chapters 1, 2, and 3 are the pre-requisites tothe rest of the chapters in the Manual. 3.2 Quantity Control System Design Quantity control facilities covered in the( Manual tascally deal with control at premise level; Roof Drainage (Chapter 4), Onsite Detention (Chapter 5) and Rainwater Harvesting (Chapter 6) while at community level sing Detention Pond (Chapter 7). CSD, combined with rainwater tanks, would be profersed as they redace ‘more runoff peak at small scale Detention pond is segarced-aa the most cost-efficient mean of reducing peak flood runoff. A step-by-step procedure is detailed oun text and worked example invelving ponel routing, based on storage-indication curve, in each Chapter? and 7. 33 Quality Control System Design. ‘Quality control ar best management practices (BMP3) design covered in the Manual are for permanent facilities; Infiltration (Chapter 8), Bioretention (Chapter 9), Swales (Chapter 14), Gross Pollutant Traps (Chapter 10), Water Quality Pond and Wetlands (Chapter 11) as wel for construction Frosion and Sediment control (Chapter 2) ‘The main parameters of concem are sediment, total suspended sediment (59), total phosphorus (TP) and total nitzogen (TN). TSS is known to have been the mest important pollutant for treatment as itis more readily settled out and removed. Attached with itn water column are some heavy metals and oil and grease. 3A Conveyance System Design Design procedures for conveyance system, minor andl majos, are found in Chapter 13 (Pavement Drainage), Chapter 14 (Drain and Swales), Chapter 15 (Pipe Drain), Chapter 16 (Engineered Channel}, Chapter 17 Gioengincered Channel), Chapter 18 (Culvert) and Chapter 19 (Gate and Pump). Chapter 20 contains various {Urban Stommonter Management Manual for Malaysia - 2nd Eatin x updated 24 May 2012 Jp:/swew water gov my NOT FOR SALE hydraulic structures as integral components of stormwater facilities, These facilities convey runoff from premise level to receiving waters, lakes, sivers and seas, connecting both quantity and BMPs structures. Swales are recommended in most areas while lined drain or pipe drain are suitable in highly urbanised zones. Bioengincered systems deals more with visual and ecological objectives of development. Culvert, gate and pump are common practices and their design procedures are found also in most hydraulic documents elsewhere Design procedures for gate and pump are provided to guide users in solving stormwater disposal difficulties in high talwater boundaries normally experienced at lowland areas closed to rivers and shorelines. 35 Facility Planting, Maintenance and Care Each stormwater facility shall involve planting to enhance its ecological, environmental and visual quality purposes. Annexure 1 provide lists and guidance of various ecological plants, obtained locally, for possible application at various sites, primarily Detention Pond (Chapter 7), Infiltration (Chapter™8), Bioretention (Chapter 9), Swales (Chapter 14), Water Quality Pond and Wetlands (Chapter 11) and Bigesgineered Stream (Chapter 17) Annexure 2 independently provides the required inspection, maintenance and cating procedures for most of the stormwater facilities found in the Manual. x Uren Stormeoater Management Manual for Malaysia - 2nd Eaton lated 23 May 2012 Jip:/svvew water gov my NOT FOR SALE Jp:/bvvew water gov my NOT FOR SALE INSHA 2 Eton. 2012 | Department of tigation and Dranane Malaysia CHAPTER1 DESIGN ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA 11 INTRODUCTION. - a4 LL Stormwater System, a4 1.2 — Design Goal and Basis... a4 12 STORMWATER QUANTITY DESIGN CRITERIA, 12 121 Peak Dischasge Contol..... 13 1.2.11 New Development . 13 1.2.12 Redevelopment... . 13 1.2.2 Storage Facilities 14 1.221 On-site Detention, . 14 12.22 Detention Pond. 14 123 Conveyance Facilities... 15 1.23.

Their damaging effects axe not always immediately apparent Stormwvater management (SWM) is the mechanism for controlling stormwater runoff for the purposes of ‘minimizing the catchment flow rates, runoff volumes, frequency of flooding and degradation of surface water ‘quality through implementation of construction eresion and sediment control, quantity control and treatment best management practices (BMPs) to diminish the effects of landuse changes. In response to the change, systems consisting of curb, gutter, drain and lined channels are developed to safely convey the runoff through the catchment. Although such effects from a small individual site may seem inconsequential the collective effects of numerous sites throughout the catchment can have substantial impact on the environment, especially ina catchment’s lower reaches, 1.1 Stormwater System Stormwvater systems are divided mto two categories: major and minor. The mifior System consists of swales, gutters, pipes, on-site detention, bioretention and the various types of inlets and BMP’ that collect, store, treat and convey runoff to a discharge area or impoundment. Components in the minor quantity system are sized to manage runoft generated by the more frequent short-duration storm events» The major system includes natural streams, channels, ponds, lakes, wetlands, large pies and culverts (Figure 1.1). Design esiteria for the major ‘quantity system are typically based on significant amounts of rainlall produced by the less frequent long- duration storms. BMPs, all sizes, are designed based on the same selected storm but from much more frequent events. Figure 1: Typical Urban Drainage System (Adapted from Kibler, 1982) 112 Design Goal and Basis ‘The goal of this Manual is to provide the various design concepts, criteria and procedures that serve as the foundation for developing stormuvater managcmen: facilities, They should set limits on development; provide guidance and methods of design; provide details of key components of drainage and control systems; and ‘ensure longevity, safety, aesthetics and maintainability of the system. ‘The design acceptance ciiteria are mandatory requirements for the planning and design of new and/or “upgrading of existing stormwater management systems in urban areas. Design Acceptance Criteria u Jhp:/bwvew water gov my NOT FOR SALE [MSHA 2 alton. 2012 | Department oF Inigation and Drainage Malaysia The criteria provided in this Chapter apply to all wrban stermwvater systems, while subsequent Chapters in the Manual give more detailed requirements for designing individual system components, quantity and quality facilities, The criteria are set based on the type of landuse, level of protection required, economy, risks of failure, public safety, ecology, aesthetics, etc. One of the most common criteria used in the facility design is the average recurrence interval (ARD, which is set based on whole life economy of the facility, the level of protection xequired and the hazard potentials to the downstream areas. 12 STORMWATER QUANTITY DESIGN CRITERIA ‘The minor and major systems are closely interrelated, and the design of each component must be done in conjunction with the overall stormuvater management stancards set by the authorities (Knox County, 2008). Design storm ARIs to be adopted for the planning and design of minor and major storm runoff quantity systems shall be in accordance with Table 1.1. The storm runoff quantity design fundamentals are given in Chapter 2 of this Manual. ‘Table 14: Quantity Design Storm ARIS ‘Minin ARL (Vea) ‘Type of Development (See Note2) ee Note1) Minos System Major System (Gee Note 3) (Gee Note 3) Residential Bungalow and semi-detached 5 50 dwellings Link house/apastment 10 100 ‘Commercial and business center 10 100 Industry 10 300 Sport field, park and agricultural land 2 20 Tnfrastrcre/ utility 5 10 Institstional building / complex 10 100 Notes: 1.
