2 valves at "T" intersection
iii.
Or as directed by the Director of Engineering and Public Works or
Improvement District, in order to allow for the isolation of specific
sections of the main.
b) Not more than 200 m apart for single family residential. All property zoned other
than single family residential requires special designs.
c) In locations and at a frequency so that not more than two hydrants are out of
service when a section of the main is turned off.
d) An exclusive isolation valve for each hydrant. Valves must be the same diameter
as the main up to 300 mm diameter and located not closer than one (1) meter from
the hydrant. Gate valves must be used up to and including 300 mm diameter.
Butterfly valves with gear operators will be allowed in mains larger than 300 mm.
1.10
Hydrants
a) The Consulting Engineer must consider the existing and intended use in the area,
and ensure that adequate spacing is provided in accordance with the Standard
Hydrant Distribution table in the F.U.S. Guidelines. Fire hydrants must be located
so that the spacing is never greater than 200 meters in single-family residential
areas and 100 meters in higher density residential, commercial, industrial, and
institutional areas.
b) In mid-block locations, fire hydrants must be located at the property lines. The
design and proposed locations of fire hydrants must not conflict with existing or
proposed street lights, power poles, etc., and must have a minimum 1.0 m
clearance from any objects on the sides or back. Attempts must be made to avoid
locating hydrants on sidewalks. If possible, consideration must also be given to
try and satisfy minimum distance to main entrance or Siamese connection
requirements as per of the Provincial Building Code.
c) On Arterial Highways with, or designated to be constructed with, a raised median,
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
1. Water
Page 50 of 130

i.
air/vacuum valves for filling or discharging mains and preventing negative
pressures.
ii.
air release valves for small air release during normal operation.
iii.
combination valves for combination of air/vacuum and air release valves.
b) Air valves are not required on water mains 200 mm diameter and smaller, except
under special needs as determined by the professional engineer retained by the
owner to design the Works or as required by the Director of Engineering and
Public Works.
c) Combination air valves must be installed at the summit of all mains 250 mm
diameter and larger, except where the difference in grade between the summit and
valley is less than 600 mm.
1.12
Blow-Offs
a) Blow-offs are required at the terminal ends of all water mains whether permanent
or temporary, in order to achieve scouring velocities resulting in proper flushing.
b) Every 100 mm watermain that terminates with out looping must come with a 50
mm blow-off assembly as per Standard Drawing. All watermains that are 150 mm
and larger with a terminating end must come with a 100mm blow assembly.
c) Where practical, and with the approval of the Director of Engineering and Public
Works and/or Improvement District, hydrants may also be used in a secondary
role as a blow-off.

d) When a utility is located within a statutory right-of-way, and manholes, valve
chambers, or other appurtenances, which require maintenance, are located within
the right-of-way, the owner may be required to provide a constructed road access
from a Municipal road for maintenance vehicles. The maintenance access must be
adequate to support the maintenance vehicles for which the access is intended.
Maintenance access must be level (from side to side) and a minimum width so
that open excavation to WCB standards can be achieved within the level surface,
and in no case shall be less than 3m wide. The maximum grade of the
maintenance access is 12%.

connections shall not be extended at an angle that exceeds 45° from perpendicular
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 65 of 130
to the main, and in no case shall a service connection be placed so that it extends
in front of any property other than the one being serviced.
b) Lots are allowed one service connection per property. In special circumstances
where the servicing of all buildings on existing Industrial or Commercial
properties is not feasible, two services may be permitted if authorized by the
Director of Engineering and Public Works.

cover must be 1.0 m provided that gravity service, to the Minimum Building
Elevation is available.
g) Service connections may be permitted into manholes provided that:
i.
the connection is not in an adverse direction to the flow in the sewer main;
ii.
the connection enters the manhole so the service crown is no lower than the
sewer main crown.
h) 4" wye cleanouts are required for all service connections in accordance the
Standard Drawings, except when the sewer main is in a right-of-way and the
service is less than 2.5m long and ties into a manhole.
i) Control manholes are required for all industrial and light industrial connections.
Control manholes will be required for commercial connections at the discretion of
the Director of Engineering and Public Works. (See Standard Drawings.)
j) Service connections must be installed at the lower (downstream) portion of the lot
for larger lots or Parcels of land. In urban Developments, connections must be as
noted on the Standard Drawings.
k) The maximum length of any service connection is 30m, unless authorized by the
Director of Engineering and Public Works.
l) Backflow Preventors must be installed for all service connections in accordance
with the Standard Drawings.

Engineer must submit a pre-design report that addresses the design
considerations of this criteria. Approval of the pre-design concepts must be
obtained prior to the Consulting Engineer commencing detailed design.
b) Location and Layout
The location and layout of a lift station must include an assessment of the
following basic design considerations:
i.
The lift station must be designed to handle the ultimate flows of the
designated catchments.
ii.

Run-Off Analysis
This section describes the methods acceptable to the City of Revelstoke for use in the
determination of the rate and amount of storm water run-off for the design of storm
drainage conveyance and storage facilities.
Hydrologic aspects of urban drainage (peak flows, volume and durations) directly affect
the success of the design. Errors in analysis may result in under designing of facilities,
over sizing them and incurring unnecessary expenditures, or both. In the interest of the
public good, a conservative approach to all designs is warranted.
The hydrologic criteria needed to calculate basin runoff are rainfall, soil types,
vegetation and ground cover, extent of development and land slope and shape. It is
expected that the design consultant will use criteria that is justifiable for the location of
the development.
Application of computer simulation models is recommended for all analysis and detailed
design, however, the rational method may be used for pre-design analysis and for
detailed design of minor systems with contributing areas less than 10 ha.
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 74 of 130
a) Rational Method
The Rational Method may be used for pre-design system analysis and for detailed
design of minor system components with contributing areas less than 10 ha. The
Rational Method shall not be used for the design of major system components or
storage facilities.
The Rational Formula is expressed as:
Q = CIA/360
where;
Q = peak runoff, m
3
/s
C = runoff coefficient
A = area, hectares
I = rainfall intensity, mm/hr
Runoff Coefficient, (C).
C values should be established based on the proposed land uses, proposed
developments and hydro geological information. Calculations and justification for the
determination of C values are to accompany development submissions. Developers
and consultants are encouraged to look for ways to reduce the amount of Effective
Impervious Area within their developments to reduce the amount of runoff generated
and the costs associated with storm water infrastructure. "Default" C values, as shown
on Table 1 can also be used.
In a case of applying the Rational Method to a mixed land use in a drainage area, a
weighted average C value should be used and can be calculated from the following
formula:
Cavg = S Ai Ci
A
where; Ai is the area with the same type of land use correlated to run-off coefficient
Ri, and A is the sum total of all areas, Ai.
Rainfall Intensity, (I).
The value of the design rainfall intensity (I) for the Rational Formula is selected from
the appropriate Intensity Duration Frequency (IDF) curve, with a duration chosen to
coincide with the Time of Concentration. The Time of Concentration is the time
required for run-off flow to become established and reach the design location from
the furthest point within the contributing basin.
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 75 of 130
Time of concentration is the sum of two components, the "inlet time" and the "travel
time".
The inlet time is the overland flow time for run-off to enter the conveyance system. It
varies with size of the catchment area and surface imperviousness. In developed
urban areas where paved surfaces drain directly to catch basins, an inlet time of 10
minutes shall be utilized for assessment of 5 year and smaller design storms. Inlet
times for higher intensity design storm events are as follows:
Event
Inlet Time (min.)
5
10
10
9
25
8
50
7
100
5
For inlet times in rural areas, the overland flow time must be calculated using
appropriate formulas.
The travel time is the length of time required for flow to travel within the conveyance
system from the point of inflow to the location being analyzed.
Rainfall:
Standard Drawing COR-S21 shows the rainfall intensity-duration-frequency (IDF)
curve for the City of Revelstoke, which was developed from the Atmospheric
Environment Service recording station located at the Revelstoke International
Airport.
b) Computer Simulation of Run-off
All minor storm drainage components draining areas larger than 10 ha. and all major
storm drainage systems and storage facilities must be designed using computer-
modeling techniques. The selection and the proper application of computer models is
the responsibility of the Developer and the Consultant. It is necessary to utilize
computer models which have the capability to generate hydrographs and which can
route these hydrographs through a network of open channels, conduits and storage
facilities showing volumes, hydraulic grade lines, the ability to simulate the minor
and major system and their interrelation and the ability to simulate submerged and/or
surcharged conditions.
3.2
Minor System Design
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 76 of 130
An urbanized area will have two separate and distinct drainage systems, whether
these systems are planned and designed or not. The "minor system" includes street
gutters, catch basin inlets and the network of underground pipes and facilities
associated with the collection, conveyance and water quality treatment of minor, or
frequently occurring rainfall events.
a) Service Level
The storm mains shall be designed for free-flow conditions for the 1:5 year storm
(the rainfall that has a 20% probability of occurrence in any given year). The
interception capacity of the system of street gutters and catch basins must be
compatible with the design capacity of the storm mains.
b) Streets, Gutters and Ditches
i.
Urban Cross-Sections
The flooding depths for a 1:5 year storm, which will be permitted on streets,
while the streets are acting as part of the minor drainage system, are as
follows:
a. There shall be no curb overtopping.
b. Maximum depth of ponding at sag locations or inlets will be 150 mm.
On local roads, the flow may spread to the crown except where curb
over-topping will occur.
c. On collector roads, the flow spread must leave one lane or a road surface
equivalent free of water to ensure access for emergency vehicles (fire,
ambulance).
d. On arterial roads, the flow spread must leave one lane in each direction
free of water.

2
of paved area.
II. Road grades greater than 3%, space 100 m maximum or 450 m
2
of
total area.
b. Space catch basins to ensure no overflows to driveways, boulevards,
sidewalks, or private property.

iv.
Location, Alignment and Grade
a. Storm mains must be located within the road right-of-way as noted in
the applicable Standard Drawing Typical Cross-Section for that road.
b. When the storm main is required to cross private land(s), the right-of-
way must be a minimum of 4.5 m wide, however, the width must be
suitable to accommodate excavations based on WCB regulations for side
slopes.
c. When a storm main is located within a statutory right-of-way and
appurtenances, which require maintenance are located within the right-
of-way, the landowner/developer must ensure that maintenance access is
available. For large structures or structures requiring an enhanced
maintenance level such as oil/sediment chambers, control structures and
pond inlet/outlet chambers, an access route adequate to support the
maintenance vehicles is to be provided. The surface of the route may be
gravel, paves or asphalt depending on the location and the context of the
site.
v.
Depth of Cover
a. Provide 1.2 m in traveled areas and 1.0 m otherwise. However, these
minimum's are to be used only when conflicts with other utilities will
not occur and all upstream catchment areas are serviceable by gravity.
b. For Catch basin leads 0.9 m minimum cover shall be used. If 0.9 m is
not available, design to protect from freezing and traffic loads, design
calculations must be provided.
vi.
Curvilinear Mains
If horizontal or vertical curves are used to maintain a constant offset, the
radius of the curve is to be no less than 1.5 times the recommended
manufacturer's minimum radius of curvature. The design velocity must
exceed 0.91 m/sec. and the curve midpoint and two quarter points are to be
located by survey and shown on the as-constructed drawings with an
elevation and offset of the invert at each point.
e) Manholes
i.
Storm manhole spacing is to be related to pipe main size as follows:
a. 250 and 300 mm diameter - 135 m maximum spacing;
b. over 300 mm to 600 mm diameter - 120 m maximum spacing, and
c. over 600 mm diameter - 100 m maximum spacing.
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 79 of 130

offset is maintained from the curb
f. all catch basin connections
g. outfalls to the major system (i.e. creeks, channels, lake) in order to isolate
the upstream main to facilitate cleaning. The manhole is to be located as
close as possible to the point of discharge.
iii.
Manhole sizing shall be in accordance with the Standard Detail Drawing.
iv.
To ensure manhole construction will not cause a loss in hydraulic capacity,
the design gradient shall be continuous through the manhole; otherwise,
where the inlet is not at 180° to the outlet, a minimum drop of 30 mm shall
be provided.
f) Ground Water Recharge Systems
i.
To promote interception of pollutants and reduction in downstream impacts,
ground water recharge systems must be utilized to the maximum extent
possible as determined by a qualified professional experienced in this field.
ii.
Mains may be sized according to the required capacity taking 50% or the
groundwater recharge capability into consideration. The groundwater
recharge component must be calculated and justified by a qualified hydro
geologist/engineer experienced in this field. Minimum sizes of mains must
still be utilized.
g) Storm Services
i.
Minimum diameter of storm services shall be 100 mm.
ii.
Minimum Grades for storm sewer services shall be 2%.

maintenance and repair, as necessary.
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 80 of 130
h) Roof Leaders
Roof drainage leaders are to be connected to the storm service connection only
where geotechnical requirements dictate the need. The evaluation of this
requirement is to be included in the scope of the Hydro-geotechnical Study.
Otherwise, roof leaders are to be directed to a splash pad for dispersal to the
ground. Roof leaders shall not be directed onto driveways, which drain directly
onto city right-of-way or areas draining directly onto neighboring properties.
i) Water Quality Treatment
i.
Water quality treatment is required for frequently occurring events. All
flows up to 50% of the 2year (1 hour duration) post-development flow must
be routed through some form of water quality treatment facility utilizing
"best management practices" to remove suspended solids and floatables.
The facility can be an in-ground structure, which passes flow through or an
aboveground facility such as a treatment wetland. Wetlands can be
incorporated into larger storm water management facilities for the
attenuation of large events. Allowable discharge criteria are identified in the
City of Revelstoke Sewer Regulations Bylaw #1683.
ii.
Any form of water quality treatment must be designed to allow for future
maintenance activities associated with the removal of the collected material
and access to incoming and/or outgoing piping.
j) Lot Grading/Swales and Driveways
Lot grading shall be carried out in accordance with the BC Building Code and the
following:
i.
Grade lots to drain to a municipal minor or major drainage system or a
natural drainage path. Use 1% minimum grade.
ii.
Swales shall have a minimum slope of 1 percent. Swales shall be lined with
turf on minimum 100mm topsoil or lined with a non-erodable hard surface.
All such swales serving two or more parcels of property shall be designed to
accommodate the anticipated flows and the right of way shall be sized
accordingly (3.0 m minimum).
iii.
Avoid drainage across adjacent lots. If cross-lot drainage is unavoidable,
provide a swale to divert runoff away from the lower lots.
iv.
Grade areas around buildings away from foundations.
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 81 of 130
v.
To ensure flooding is avoided, carports or garages attached to residential
buildings shall not be constructed with their floor level below the adjacent
curb of City street or crown of pavement of City street, unless:
a. the drainage of the driveway serving the carport or garage is connected
by gravity to a City storm sewer meeting the connection criteria, or
b. is above the 100 year flood line, or
c. the runoff water from the driveway may flow past the carport/garage
without accumulating and entering. Properties utilizing this method must
have an Engineer seal the design. All other relevant criteria of this
document must also be met.
3.3
Major System Design
Storm runoff generated by less frequent, higher intensity rainstorms may exceed the
capacity of the minor system. Runoff from these events will pond in depressions and
follow whatever overflow route is available. This network of ponding and overland
flows is called the "major system". If the major system is properly planned, it can
alleviate the potential inconvenience and property damage caused by large rainfall
events.
a) Major System
i.
The major system includes all drainage infrastructures, which convey, detain,
divert and intercept the 100-year design storm runoff. In general, all
components of the major system must be designed to accommodate the flows
generated by the upstream contributing area.
ii.
The following section describes the major system provisions and technical
requirements for use in planning and design of the major drainage system.
The depth of flooding permitted for the major event is as follows:
a. For all classes of roads, the depth shall not exceed 0.3 m.
b. One lane, or a 3.5 m width at the crown shall be free from flooding.
c. Flooding is not permitted on private property
iii.
To meet the criteria for major storm runoff, sags or low points in roads or
subdivisions must be designed with a safe overland outlet flow route.
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 82 of 130
b) Outfalls
i.
Ministry of Environment approval is required on all storm water outfalls to
natural watercourses or water bodies.
ii.
Outfalls into lakes are to be constructed to have minimum bury according to
the following:
a. soft bottom, 0.6 metres to allow for seasonal sand erosion and deposition
b. rock bottom, criteria to be confirmed by Coast Guard
c. exposed pipes must be a minimum of 2.4 metres deep during lake "low
water" to allow safe passage of deep keel vessels
iii.
Lake outfalls require approval from the Canadian Coast Guard.
c) Control Structures
i.
Control structures, such as the one shown on Standard Drawing COR- S20
shall be used to provide consistent control for design storm flows of
different return periods. These can be modified to include multi-stage inlets.
For example, three orifices located vertically on a control structure are
normally designed such that the lower, smaller orifice restricts frequent
storms and the large upper orifices control less frequent larger storms. Safe
overflow must still be available above the highest orifice.
ii.
Considerations shall be given for the design of smaller sediment trap basins
at the points of discharge to the detention/retention facilities. Normally,
basin inlets shall be designed to provide sediment containment. Build up of
sediment shall not restrict inflows and suitable designs shall be provided to
allow ease of sediment removals.
d) Culvert and Bridge Capacity
i.
The following service levels are to be used for design:
Design Flood Frequency
Road Class
Bridges, Culverts
Arterial and Collector
1:200 year flood
Local
1:100 year storm plus
provision for
overflow if on major channel
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 83 of 130
ii.
Culverts over 30 m in length and/or 300 mm and larger in diameter shall be
constructed with headwalls and end walls. The headwall shall be constructed
with a free-swinging, weighted grating. To protect against entry, the City
may require a locking mechanism, which limits the range of movement of
the grating.
e) Ground Recharge Systems
Ground recharge systems are not normally considered for major flood routing.
However, given the soil conditions in the Revelstoke area, geotechnical
investigations may support the retention and ground infiltration of major events in
some areas. Further details are provided in Section 4.
f) Ditch and Swale Construction
Velocity of flow in ditches and/or swales is not to exceed the limits given below
for the various types of materials used as the conveyance surface.
Maximum
Permissible
Lining Materials
Velocity m/s
Fine sand
0.45
Fine gravel
0.75
Stiff clay

For velocities higher than the above maximums, the Rip Rap Design Chart Standard
Drawing COR-S22 is to be used.
3.4
Stormwater Storage
This section identifies the general design parameters and requirements that must be
considered by development proponents in the planning and design of storm water
storage facilities.
a) Peak Flow Control
i.
Control on peak flow rates and volumes in the City are necessary:
a. To minimize impacts on watercourses and downstream developments
from flow increases which will result from land development, and
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 84 of 130
b. To maintain or lessen flows in watercourses so that creek channels and
existing structures, such as bridges and culverts, will continue to operate
without being flooded or damaged.
ii.
In consideration of the above, the City has the following objectives and
requirements:
a. Impact and expenditures to existing downstream users shall not be
increased.
b. Increases in peak storm flows and volumes to the watercourses and
receiving waters shall be limited.
c. The number of storage facilities shall be minimized. (Permanent
detention will not be permitted under private ownership, unless
incorporated on-site within a private development).
d. Permanent storage facilities are to be owned and maintained by the City.
e. Where land developments occur in advance of permanent detention
facilities, the City may consider temporary storage facilities on an
individual basis.
f. Maintenance charges and responsibility for temporary storage facilities
will be borne by the developer.
g. Storage facilities may be surface or underground. Rooftop or parking lot
storage may be considered, where appropriate.
h. Private property owners are to indemnify the City from liability arising
out of private facilities.
b) Basis For Detailed Design
i.
Level of Service
a. Developments near lakes and/or watercourses are required to provide
water quality treatment for flows up to 50% of the 2 year event. Flows
generated from rainfall events greater than this can be discharged
directly to a receiving body of water provided the required minor and
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 85 of 130
major systems exist and approval from the City of Revelstoke and the
Ministry of Environment is obtained.
b. Developments within other areas of the City of Revelstoke are required
to provide water quality treatment for flows up to 50% of the 2 year
event and to provide storage up to the 100 year (plus 10% volumetric
safety factor) event with a maximum outlet rate based upon the 5 year
pre-development rate generated by the catchment area. The release rate
is to be based up on the post-development outlet hydrograph mirroring
the pre-development runoff hydrograph up to the 5 year level. Release
rates not based on this criteria may be allowed by the City of Revelstoke
based on downstream conveyance system protection, stream protection,
flood protection or water quality.
c. An overflow shall be provided to route any excess water to the
designated one hundred year flood route. Such an overflow can be in the
form of a spillway or may be incorporated in the flow control structure
through over sizing of downstream pipes, provision of overflow pipes or
such other arrangement as the designer may devise.
ii.
Geotechnical Considerations
a. Special geotechnical investigations to address issues related to the
design of all storm water management lakes and dry ponds are to be
undertaken as part of the planning and design studies, and are a
prerequisite to the final design of such facilities.
b. Wherever possible, the storm water storage facility shall be excavated in
natural, stable ground. Should topography dictate that a berm be
constructed along one or more sides of the basin, the berm shall be
designed by a qualified professional engineer registered to practice in
the Province of British Columbia and with relevant training and
experience.
iii.
Staged Construction - Standards for Interim Facilities
When storm water management storage facilities are to be implemented in
stages, the standards applicable to the design and construction of the interim
facilities are to be generally in accordance with the standards set out herein
for permanent facilities of that type. (e.g. Where an interim dry pond facility
is proposed as a preliminary stage in the implementation of a storm water
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 86 of 130
lake, it shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the criteria and
standards applicable to a permanent dry pond.)
c) Design Requirements Common To Stormwater Management Storage Facilities
i.
Land Dedication
a. Generally, the area of land covered by water when the basin is at the 5-
year water level will be dedicated to the City. This dedication will also
apply to all accesses to inlets/outlets, any structures and maintenance
access routes to the facility.
b. Land that is adjacent to a basin which is subject to flooding as per the
design standard established, but which is part of a privately owned
developed parcel, will be required to carry rights-of-way, to allow for
encroachment of water onto the affected land. The right-of-way
documents shall be prepared by the development proponent, naming the
City as grantee.
c. A restrictive covenant will be placed on lots abutting the facility to
control lot development so as not to compromise design requirements at
the HWL. This is to ensure an adequate freeboard is maintained.
ii.
Maintenance Access Requirements
An all-weather access for maintenance vehicles must be provided to all
facility works. A vehicle access route shall also be provided to the edge of
all SWM lakes suitable to carry maintenance vehicles and for use as a boat
launch point. The access surface shall be a minimum of 4.5 m wide, shall
extend into the lake beyond the lake edge at normal water depth to a point
where the normal water depth is 1.0 m, and shall be accessible from and
extend to a public road. Sharp bends are to be avoided, and it shall have a
straight run of 12 m or more leading to the lake edge (to permit a straight
run in for launching of boats).
iii.
Emergency Overflow Provisions
The feasibility of an emergency overflow spillway is to be evaluated for
each storage facility design and, where feasible, such provisions are to be
incorporated in the facility design. The consultant is to identify the probable
frequency of operation of the emergency spillway. Where provision of an
emergency spillway or overflow route is found to be unfeasible, the design
is to include an analysis of the impact of overtopping of the storage facility
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 87 of 130
and the probable frequency of occurrence of overtopping. The functional
requirements of the spillway, and the impact analysis for the absence of one,
are to consider the possible consequences of blockage of the system outlet
or overloading due to consecutive runoff events, such that the storage
capacity of the facility may be partially or completely unavailable at the
beginning of a runoff event.
iv.
Landscaping Requirements
Landscaping plans for areas bounding the facility shall be submitted as part
of the Engineering Drawings. Landscaping of all proposed public lands
included for purposes of the facility and of all proposed rights-of-way on
proposed private property up to the design high water level, is to be part of
the lake construction requirement and be dependant on the location and the
context of the facility. The requirement for landscaping may be irrigated
turf, constructed to the satisfaction of the Parks Department.
v.
Sediment Removal Provisions
The facility design shall incorporate the ability for sediment capture and
efficient removal for the control of solids, which may be washed to the
facility.
vi.
Maintenance and Service Manual
a. As part of the responsibility for design of a storm water management
storage facility the development proponent shall prepare and provide a
maintenance and service manual for the facility.
b. Six complete copies of the manual are to be provided to the City of
Revelstoke prior to the time when the operation responsibility of the
facility is transferred to the City of Revelstoke, which will generally be
at the time of substantial completion. The manual shall include complete
equipment manufacturer's operation, maintenance, service and repair
instructions, and complete parts lists for any mechanized or electrical
equipment incorporated in the design.
c. The manual is to include, at a minimum, the following information:
I.
A copy of the approved Engineering Drawings relating to the
Storm water Storage Facility and appurtenances, updated to "As-
Constructed".
II.
Schematic diagrams of the inlet and outlet arrangements,
connections to and arrangement of upstream and downstream
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 88 of 130
systems, including all controls, shutoff valves, bypasses,
overflows, and any other operation or control features.
III.
Location plans for all operating devices and controls, access points
and routes, planned overflow routes, or likely point of overlapping
in the case of exceedance of the design containment volume.
IV.
Stage Discharge Curves with clear relationships of the stages
relative to surrounding features.
vii.
Signage for Safety
The design for SWM Facilities shall include the installation of signage to
warn of anticipated water level fluctuations, with demarcation of maximum
water levels to be expected for design conditions. Warning signs will be
provided and installed by the development proponent.
viii.
Engineering Drawing Requirements
The engineering drawings for any SWM Facility are to include the following
information, in addition to the physical dimensions:
a. Stage-Volume and Stage-Area Curves;
b. elevations at Normal Water Level (NWL), 5 Year Level and High Water
Level (HWL);
c. volumes at NWL, 5 year Level and HWL;
d. freeboard elevation;
e. notation indicating the lowest allowable building elevation for lots
abutting the lake;
f. contributing basin size (ha);
g. measurements to locate submerged inlet(s), outlet(s) and sediment traps
referenced to identifiable, permanent features which are not submerged
at NWL.
d) Design Details For Stormwater Management Lakes (Wet Ponds)
i.
Side Slopes
a. Areas normally or infrequently covered by water, from the design high
water level down to a point 1.0 m below the normal water level shall
have a maximum slope of 5 (horizontal) to 1 (vertical).
b. A slope of 3 (horizontal) to 1 (vertical) may be required from the 1.0 m
depth point (below normal water level) to the pond bottom. The
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 89 of 130
requirement for maximized slopes below water is an attempt to
discourage the growth of unwanted vegetation.
c. In the case of constructed wetlands, benched areas above and below the
NWL to encourage growth of aquatic and riparian plants is desirable.
ii.
Lake Bottom Material
a. For areas where the groundwater table is below the NWL, the lake
bottom and side slopes are to be composed of impervious material with a
suitably low permeability (e.g. with a permeability coefficient in the
order of 1 x 10
-6 cm/s).
b. For areas where the groundwater table is expected to be near or above
the NWL, the lake bottom may be of a pervious material as dictated by
geotechnical considerations.
iii.
Circulation Requirements
a. Narrow or dead bay areas where floating debris may accumulate are to
be avoided. Inlets and outlets should be located with consideration of
the need to maximize detention time and circulation within the lake
water body.
b. The length of the wet pond relative to the width should not be less than
3:1 or greater than 6:1 so as to promote natural water circulation and
avoid water quality deterioration associated with stagnant reaches within
the facility.
iv.
Outflow Control Works
The outlet from a storm water management storage system must
incorporate appropriate means for control of outflow. In addition, the outlet
works must include provisions for operational flexibility, and to address
unintentional blockage of the outlet and the possible need to either stop
outflow or increase the rate of outflow.
v.
Draw down Provisions
The means should be provided to permit discharge from storage facilities at
the maximum rate of flow, which the downstream system can
accommodate after storm runoff peak flows have passed and the flows
from other contributing areas have decreased or ended. The rate of
discharge to be provided for draw down purposes is to be sufficient to
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 90 of 130
restore availability of storage capacity of facilities sufficiently to
accommodate subsequent runoff events within a reasonable time frame. To
achieve this purpose, draw down of facilities is to be possible at rates to
satisfy the following relationship of available volume to the time from
commencing draw down with the facility at the design high level.
Time After Commencing Draw down
From Full Level
Available Volume Required Below
Design Full Level
24 hours
Volume equivalent of 1 in 10 year
run-off
72 hours
100% of total storage volume
vi.
Submergence of Inlets and Outlets
Inlets and outlets are to be fully submerged, with the crown of the pipe at
least 0.5 m below normal water level. Inlet and outlet pipe inverts are to be a
minimum 0.1 m above the lake bottom.
vii.
Provision for Free Outfall from Inlets to Lakes
The invert elevation at the first manhole upstream from the lake in a minor
system shall be at or above the normal water level of the lake to avoid
deposition of sediments in the inlet pipe. To avoid backwater effects on the
upstream sewers leading to the lake, the obvert of the inlet sewer at the first
manhole upstream from the lake shall be at or above the lake level for the 1
in5 year storm. A drop structure upstream from the lake will generally be
required to achieve this. "Inlet" and "outlet" control calculations are
required to verify the mode of operation of the lake inlets.
viii.
Provisions for Lowering the Lake Level
The provision of the means to drain the lake completely by gravity drainage
is desirable. The incorporation of this provision with the outlet control
bypass should be considered. Where a gravity drain is not feasible,
provisions are to be made in association with the outlet works or otherwise,
so that mobile pumping equipment may be installed and used to drain the
lake.
ix.
Lake Edge Treatment
a. Edge treatment or shore protection is required and shall be compatible
with the adjacent land use. The treatment used shall meet criteria for low
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 91 of 130
maintenance, safety, and ease of access to the waters edge.
b. The edge treatment is to cover ground surfaces exposed or covered by
water during a lake level fluctuation to 0.3 m below or above the normal
water elevation, and shall be adequate to prevent erosion of the lake
edge due to wave action. The typical acceptable edge treatment shall be,
but is not limited to, a 250 mm deep layer of well graded washed rock
with a 75 mm minimum size or vegetated strip consisting of hardy
materials suitable for this application.
c. The proposal of variations to the edge treatment minimum is
encouraged. The final selection of edge treatment being subject to the
approval of the City.
e) Design Standards For Dry Ponds
i.
Outflow Control Works
The outlet from a storm water management storage system must incorporate
appropriate means for control of outflow. In addition, the outlet works must
include provisions for operational flexibility, and to address unintentional
blockage of the outlet and the possible need to either stop outflow or
increase the rate of outflow.
ii.
Draw down Provisions
The means should be provided to permit discharge from storage facilities at
the maximum rate of flow, which the downstream system can accommodate
after storm runoff peak flows have passed and the flows from other
contributing areas have decreased or ended. The rate of discharge to be
provided for draw down purposes is to be sufficient to restore availability of
storage capacity of facilities sufficiently to accommodate subsequent runoff
events within a reasonable time frame. To achieve this purpose, draw down
of facilities is to be possible at rates to satisfy the following relationship of
available volume to the time from commencing draw down with the facility
at the design high level.

Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 92 of 130
iii.
Frequency of Operation
All dry ponds shall be designed to temporarily detain excess runoff and
thereby reduce the peak outflow rates to the connected downstream system.
They shall not detain runoff for storms with post-development return
periods of less than 2 years except where special provisions are made to
facilitate clean up (i.e. paved bottom areas, etc.).
iv.
Depth of Ponding
The maximum live storage limit in a dry pond is 3.0 m, as measured from
the invert elevation of the outlet pipe.
v.
Dry Pond Bottom Grading and Drainage
The dry pond shall be graded to properly drain all areas after its operation.
The dry pond bottom shall have a slope of 1.0% or greater. Sub-surface
drains or similar means may be required where it is anticipated that these
slopes will not properly drain the dry pond bottom, or where dictated by
multiple use or other special considerations.
vi.
Side Slopes
25% of the side slopes subject to inundation upon filling of the dry pond
shall have a maximum slope of 5 (horizontal) to 1 (vertical). An alternate
method of egress (e.g. stairs) may be required in steep areas.
vii.
Safety Provisions at Inlets and Outlets
a. All inlet and outlet structures associated with dry ponds shall have grates
provided over their openings to restrict access and prevent entry into
sewers by children or other persons. A maximum clear bar spacing of
0.15 m shall be used for gratings.
b. Grated outlet structures are to be designed with a hydraulic capacity of
at least twice the required capacity to allow for possible plugging.
Further, the arrangement of the structures and the location of the grating
shall be such that the velocity of the flow passing through the grating
will not exceed 1.0 m/s. Appropriate fencing and guard-rails are to be
provided to restrict access and reduce the hazard presented by the
structure headwalls and wingwalls.
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 93 of 130
viii.
Other Considerations
An on-stream dry pond may be constructed upstream of a road crossing as
long as geotechnical evaluations conclude that construction is appropriate.
Facilities must be constructed to allow overtopping without causing undue
erosion or damage. All facilities on fish bearing streams shall be designed to
pass fish.
f) Design Standards For Infiltration Basins
i.
Outlet Design
Infiltration basins do not have a formal outlet structure. As such, the storage
volume must be based upon the complete runoff generated by the 1:100 year
storm with no provision for outlet during the event, plus a 50% safety factor.
ii.
Depth of Ponding
The maximum live storage limit in a basin is 3.0 m.
iii.
Side Slopes
Side slopes subject to inundation upon filling of the basin shall have a
maximum slope of 5 (horizontal) to 1 (vertical).
iv.
Safety Provisions at Inlets
a. All inlet structures associated with infiltration basins shall have grates
provided over their openings to restrict access and prevent entry into
sewers by children or other persons. A maximum clear bar spacing of
0.15 m shall be used for gratings.
b. Appropriate fencing and guard-rails are to be provided to restrict access
and reduce the hazard presented by the structure headwalls and
wingwalls.
v.
Other Considerations
a. A detailed hydro geological investigation must be conducted to support
the proposed infiltration basin. The investigation must assess impacts to
upstream and downstream properties and identify measures to alleviate
impacts, if necessary.
b. To address the issue of sediment plugging during development in the
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 94 of 130
catchment area, the basin is to be constructed to 90% of its ultimate
depth and volume. When development in the catchment reaches 90%,
the infiltration basin is to be completed.
3.5
Erosion and Sedimentation Control
All proposed projects must provide erosion and sedimentation controls to prevent the
displacement of soil and the transport of sediment from the project site resulting from
land-disturbing activities. To prevent the displacement of soil and the sediment
transport during land-disturbing activities, Erosion and Sedimentation Control (ESC)
measures are required and shall be performed as described below. Both temporary
and permanent erosion and sedimentation controls shall be implemented.
The objective of erosion and sedimentation control is to prevent the displacement of soil
and the transport of sediment to streams, wetlands, lakes, drainage systems, and
adjacent properties. Erosion on construction sites can result in excessive sediment
transport to adjacent properties and to surface waters. Sediment transport can result in
adverse impacts such as flooding due to obstructed drainage systems, smothering of
aquatic habitat and the creation of algal blooms in lakes, among others.
a) ESC
i.
The following ESC documents detail methods of control:
a. Best Management Practices for Erosion & Sediment Control
b. Land Development Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Habitat,
Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the BC Ministry of
Environment (1992)
ii.
In general, erosion and sedimentation controls shall address the following:
a. Clearing Limits:
Prior to any site clearing or grading, areas to remain undisturbed
during project construction shall be delineated and marked on-site by
flagging or other method. At a minimum, clearing limit delineation
shall be installed at the edges of all sensitive area buffers. Retain
existing vegetation, as much as possible.
b. Cover Measures:
Temporary and permanent cover measures shall be provided when
necessary to protect disturbed areas as detailed in the ESC Documents.
Temporary cover shall be installed if an area is to remain unworked for
more than seven days, unless otherwise determined by the City. Any
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 95 of 130
area to remain unworked for more than 30 days shall be seeded or
sodded, unless the City determines that winter weather makes
vegetation establishment infeasible. Slopes and stockpiles 3H:1V or
steeper and with more than 3 metres of vertical relief shall be covered
if they are to remain unworked for more than 12 hours. The intent of
these measures is to have as much area as possible covered during any
period of precipitation.
c. Perimeter Protection:
Perimeter protection to contain sediment from sheet flow shall be
provided down slope of all disturbed areas when necessary as detailed
in the ESC Documents. Such protection shall be installed prior to
upslope grading. Perimeter protection includes the use of vegetated
strips, as well as more conventional constructed measures such as silt
fences.
d. Traffic Area Stabilization:
Unsurfaced entrances, roads, and parking areas used by construction
traffic shall be stabilized to minimize erosion and tracking of
sediment offsite as detailed in the ESC Documents.
e. Sediment Retention:
Surface water collected from disturbed areas of the site shall be
routed through a sediment pond or trap prior to release from the site
as detailed in the ESC Documents, except areas at the perimeter of
the site small enough to be treated solely with perimeter protection.
Sediment retention facilities shall be installed prior to grading of any
contributing area.
f. Surface Water Controls:
Surface water controls shall be installed to intercept and convey all
surface water from disturbed areas to a sediment pond or trap and
discharge it down slope of any disturbed areas as detailed in the ESC
Documents, except areas at the perimeter of the site small enough to
be treated solely with perimeter protection. Significant sources of
upslope surface water that drain onto disturbed areas shall be
intercepted and conveyed to a stabilized discharge point down slope of
the disturbed areas.
b) Implementation requirements
i.
ESC Plan
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
3. Drainage
Page 96 of 130
All proposed projects must submit a plan for providing ESC measures. All
ESC measures shall conform to the details and specifications in the ESC
documents unless the City approves an alternative.
Construction within Sensitive Areas and Buffers
Any construction that will result in disturbed areas on or within a stream or
associated buffer, within a wetland or associated buffer, or within 15 metres
of a lake shall be subject to the Best Management Practices for Erosion &
Sediment Control - In-stream Works (1998). These provisions include
phasing the project whenever possible so that construction in these areas is
limited to the dry season.
ii.
Maintenance
All ESC measures shall be maintained as per the Erosion and Sedimentation
Control Plans. The consulting engineer shall be responsible for maintenance
and review of ESC and for compliance with all conditions relating to ESC.
iii.
Final Stabilization
Prior to obtaining total performance, the site shall be stabilized and the
structural ESC measures (such as silt fences and sediment traps) shall be
removed and drainage facilities cleaned as specified.

General
a) Developments may require frontage roads, double frontage lots, deep lots with
rear service lanes, or such other treatment as may be necessary in the public
interest for the adequate protection of residential properties and to afford
separation of through and local traffic.
b) In reviewing engineering plans, the Approving Officer or Building Inspector must
consider the sufficiency and suitability of the proposed road system, the
arrangement, width, grade and location of all roads in relation to existing and
planned roads, to topographical features, to public convenience and safety, and to
the proposed uses of the land to be served by such roads.
c) The arrangement of Highways in a Subdivision must either:
i.
provide for the continuation or appropriate projection of existing roads in
surrounding areas; or
ii.
where topographic or other conditions make continuation or projection of
existing roads impractical, provide an adequate and suitable highway system
having regard to the uses of the land to be served.
d) The dimensions, locations and standard of all roads in a proposed subdivision
must conform substantially to any applicable community plan.
e) Local residential roads must be aligned so that their use by through traffic will be
discouraged.
f) Cul-de-sac Roads, generally will not be permitted unless an adequate snow
storage area is provided and approved by the Director of Engineering and Public
Works.
g) Walkways must be provided where they are deemed desirable to provide access
through the subdivision to schools, playgrounds, shopping centres, greenways,
wetlands and other community facilities or for proper circulation of pedestrian
traffic.
h) Jogs in Highway alignment at intersections may be allowed provided that the
distance between centre lines is a minimum of 38 metres to maintain traffic
safety. Intersections are to be designed and located within a range of angles
between 70º and 110º.
i) In the design of all street intersections, including those with lanes and walkways,
the Consulting Engineer must give consideration to providing adequate sight and
stopping distances for conflicting traffic streams involving pedestrians, bicycles
and/or vehicles. The City of Revelstoke Traffic Regulation Bylaw No. 1400
prohibits sight obstruction greater than 1 m in height within 8 m of intersections.
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
4. Highway
Page 99 of 130
j) Road name signs and traffic signs required as a result of constructing or
improving Roads must be provided by the City of Revelstoke at the expense of
the Owner.
k) Frontage improvements are required for all subdivisions and must adhere to the
standards set forth in the City of Revelstoke Transportation Master Plan. This
includes, but is not limited to, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, swales, and pathways.
The City Engineer will decide if the developer must construct these improvements
through a Works and Services Agreement or provide a cash-in-lieu payment
based on a Professional Engineer's Construction Estimate.
4.2
Road Classification
The roadway classification applicable to the Road under consideration will be
determined from Table 1. Where topographical or other conditions make continuation
or projection of an existing street impractical, the Director of Engineering and Public
Works will review the Developer's proposal and may approve the alternative.
NOTE: All vertical and horizontal alignment elements will be designed utilizing
information from Tables 1 and 2 and in accordance with:

Notes: 6% super-elevation only permitted on collector roads in segments without intersecting
roads or private access.
Notes: Through roads at an intersection are governed by the numbers shown in brackets, with
the reduced grades on each side of the intersection for a distance equivalent to the "stopping
sight distance".
*Inverted Crowns (I.C.) and Normal Crowns (N.C.) shall be built with 2% crossfall unless
otherwise approved.
c) At road intersections, the minor road must be constructed with an approach grade
of not greater than 3% for a distance of not less than 15 m from the adjacent edge
of asphalt.
d) All changes in gradient over 1.00% on arterial and collector Roads and over
2.00% on all other road classifications must be connected by vertical curves.
Vertical curves must be designed in accordance with the latest edition of the
Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads as published by the Transportation
Association of Canada.
e) Standard cross slopes (normal crown) must be 2.00% on all road classifications
unless specified otherwise by the Director of Engineering and Public Works.
Design road elevations must give due consideration to flood-proofing
requirements of adjacent properties. Full road crossfall (reverse crown) may be
considered in special circumstances, as a means of more closely matching
property grade adversity on either side of the highway.
Schedule 4 - Design Standards
4. Highway
Page 103 of 130
f) The length of a transition from a normal cross-sectioned road to a section of road
where there is super-elevation or crossfall must, in no case, be less than 70 m for a
50 kmh designed road or 110 m for a 70 kmh designed road. In selecting the
length of the transition, care and consideration must be given to draining all of the
pavement. Typically, if no horizontal spiral curve is used, 60% of the super-
elevation is introduced prior to the beginning of the curve, and the balance is
developed in the curve.
g) Gutter elevations on curb returns must be shown on the drawings at the beginning,
one-quarter points and end of curb returns.
4.4
Horizontal Alignment
a) The horizontal centreline alignment of the road will be located on the centreline
of the right-of-way, unless approved otherwise by the Director of Engineering and
Public Works. Typical locations of works and utilities in Roads are shown on
Standard Drawing COR-R3.
b) Centreline chainage stations must be fully referenced and dimensioned from
property lines.
c) Minimum radius of curve and maximum super-elevation normally allowed are
shown in Table 2 (Geometric Standards). The Minimum radius of curb return at
intersections must be 7.50 m. Transitions in road widths, tapers, etc., must be
formed with smooth curves and tangents, including no less than 30:1 for 50 km/h
design speeds and preferably 40:1 tapers.
d) A horizontal curve must be fully described showing internal angle, radius, tangent
length and arc.
e) Curb returns located on roads within industrial and commercial districts may
require a larger radius to facilitate truck traffic and bus traffic, and will be as
specified by the Director of Engineering and Public Works.
f) When a new road with curbs intersects an existing road without curbs, full curb
returns must be constructed. Full curb returns must be constructed at the
intersection of two curbed roads.
4.5

the Standard Drawings are the clear and intended goals on all roadways within the
City of Revelstoke. It is recognized, however, that ambient conditions may require
variance from these standards in existing and substantially "built-up" areas, where
provisions to accommodate the required roadway modification may not have been
anticipated. A variance to these standards may be considered by the Director of
Engineering and Public Works.
4.6
Curb and Gutter, Sidewalks and Bike Lanes
a) The standards for curbs, gutters, sidewalks and bike lanes shall be as detailed in
Table 1 and in the MMCD Standard Drawings.
b) Each property shall only have one (1) driveway access. Upon demonstrated need,
more than one (1) driveway access may be granted and constructed for service
stations, major commercial / industrial developments, or for residential
developments that contain more than one (1) dwelling unit. Where a lot abuts a
lane or road of different classification an additional driveway may be located to
access the lane or road of the lower classification.
c) Residential driveway access onto an arterial or collector road, is not permitted
unless alternate access is impossible. Wherever physically possible, alternate local
road or lane access shall be dedicated to preclude residential driveways accessing
directly onto major roads.
d) Residential driveway accesses serving corner lots shall be a minimum of 7 m
from the lot corner nearest the intersection. All residential driveway accesses shall
have a minimum width of 4 m and a maximum width of 6 m.
e) Driveway accesses to commercial and industrial corner lots shall be a minimum

a) Subject to prior approval by the City of Revelstoke, the previous design
guidelines may be modified for hillside neighbourhoods as outlined below.
Hillside areas are lands that in their natural state have a slope angle of 10% or
greater for a minimum horizontal distance of 10 metres. The design objective of
the Hillside standards include the following:
i.
Accommodation of hillside land development while minimizing
environmental
ii.
Impacts such as disturbance of natural slopes, vegetation and watercourses.
iii.
Protecting development from hazardous conditions.
iv.
Encouragement of low speed traffic, particularly for local roads.
v.
Development of site layouts compatible with the above objectives.
b) Modification to the following Hillside standards may be considered by the City of
Revelstoke for specific developments, provided that the proposed modifications
are supported by adequate research and detailed justification.
Hillside road cross section elements should conform to Table 1 of this bylaw and
the Transportation Master Plan. Any reduction in the right-of-way (ROW) width
may be considered based on the recommendation of the developer's engineer and
must be approved by the Director of Engineering (or designate).
New Hillside development should:
i.
be in harmony with the surrounding community and the natural
environment;
ii.
protect wildlife habitat and environmentally sensitive areas;
iii.
integrate or protect unique or special natural features of the site such as
landforms, rock outcroppings, mature trees and vegetation, drainage
courses, hilltops and ridgelines;
iv.
avoid unstable or hazardous portions of the site and protect lives and
property from hazardous conditions such as landslides, erosion, etc.
v.
provide safe access for residents, visitors and service providers;

Cul-de-Sac Streets and Hillside Emergency Accesses
Some of the Local streets within complex topographic areas will take the
form of a cul-de-sac. Generally, cul-de-sac streets are used where street
connectivity is not possible (i.e. steep terrain) or not warranted (i.e. serves
very few homes). Although the appropriate Local street standard will also
apply to cul-de-sac streets, there are two additional street specifications
unique to this street form that must be addressed in relation to livability:
permitted length and the design of the street turnaround.
In complex topographic areas long streets may be required to access
developable pockets within areas of steep terrain. Due to the complex
topography it will often not be advisable, or even possible, for connectivity
to be achieved at both ends of a street.
Longer cul-de-sac streets will result and systems of branching cul-de-sacs
will be established to access some areas of extremely difficult terrain. In
response to public safety issues, it is desirable that emergency access routes
to such areas are available - Hillside Emergency Access standards are
included below. This is considered more acceptable from a livability stance
than requiring street connectivity in all situations as the lower standards
required for an emergency access will result in a lesser impact to the
hillside. Maintaining street connectivity wherever possible will remain a
priority.
The radius of a cul-de-sac also plays a role in the livability of a street.
Laying a cul-de-sac requires a relatively large flat area. The larger this area
is, the greater the impact to the landscape, particularly in complex
topographic areas. Large cul-de-sacs can also decrease the social quality of a
street by terminating the public corridor with a large, barren paved surface.
A reduction of the cul-de-sac radius is feasible if parking is restricted in the
cul-de-sac, which will ensure a large enough circumference for car turning.
It is noted that provision must be made on a case by case basis for
emergency vehicle turning.
