Solve the following:
1. Determine the CN for a development on soils consisting of 40 % group A and 60 %
group D. The proposed land use is

30 % Residential which is 25 % impervious

20 % Residential which is 65 % impervious
15 % Paved Roads with curbs and storm sewers
18 % Open Land with 60 % fair cover and 40 % good cover
17 % Parking Lots, plazas, schools, etc.

2. A 1,400,000 m² watershed is to be developed. The CN for the proposed development
is 80, and 60 % of the hydraulic length will be modified by gutters and storm drains;
30 % of the area will be impervious. The average slope is 2 %. Compute the present
and future peak runoff from a 75 mm rainfall. The present CN is 70.

GIVEN:
Area=1,400,000 m2
CNpresent = 70
Slope = 2%
Modification Caused Area = 60%
CNpost-modification = 80
Rainfall = 75mm

SOLUTION:
Present:
From Table 13 − 6, total present runoff = 18.0
From Fig. 13 − 6 (flat slope), present peaks = 1.3 x 10−1
From Table 13 − 7, for 2% slope, values must be multiplied by 1.29.

Future:
From Table 13 − 6, total future runoff = 31.3
From Fig. 13 − 6 (flat slope), future peaks = 1.5 x 10−1
From Table 13 − 7, for 2% slope, values must be multiplied by 1.29.
From Fig. 13 − 9, future development′s flow = 1.20.
From Fig. 13 − 10, result of increased imperviousness = 1.40.
