DRAINAGE
A. Drainage Area
The site is located east of Biscayne Blvd., west of Biscayne Bay, approximately
located between NE 6th & NE 7tr Avenues, bounded on the north by NE 23r`
Terrace and bounded on the south by NE 23rd Street. The site consists of one
parcel, consisting of a total property area of ±0.64 acres.
After development, approximately 95% of the site will be impervious areas and
approximately 5% of the site will remain as pervious areas. The storm water
discharge will consist primarily of building roofs, driveways and landscape areas
run-off. The coefficient of run-off is arrived at as follows:
0.95 (impervious) x 0.90
+0.05 (pervious) x 0.30
overall coefficient
0.855
0.015
0.87
B. Existing Drainage System
The City of Miami presently maintains a roadway drainage system in both
adjacent streets. The site is presently vacant. The existing roadway system
appears to be of sufficient capacity to handle the present conditions.
C. Proposed Drainage System
The primary drainage system of this building will consist of drainage wells which
will allow the stormwater runoff to be fully contained on -site. No off -site runoff is
expected from this building. It is anticipated that two drainage wells will be
sufficient to handle the runoff (See Table 1 for drainage calculations).
The stormwater will be collected thru a system of catch basin inlets and
transported by pipes to the well locations. The wells will allow the stormwater to
flow into the Biscayne Aquifer. The wells will be designed to handle the
stormwater runoff and tested for capacity as they are installed.
Runoff from driving surfaces such as driveways and parking areas will be
diverted thru detention structures which will capture the oils and greases prior to
flowing into the wells.

Assume each 24" diameter drainage well flows at 750 gpm per foot of head -
using 2 feet of head:
2 x 750 gpm = 1,500 gpm per well

Providing 11/2 minute detention time of storage in tank.
Volume of tank required to handle 1,500 gpm for 1.5 min.
1,500 gpm x 1.5 min = 2,250 gal/tank or 300 ft3 each
Provide 2 tanks, each one with the following interior dimensions:
5' (width) x 5' (height) x 12' (length) = 300 ft3
Provide 2 tanks with 300 ft3 volume each

IL WATER DISTRIBUTION
The Miami Dade Water and Sewer Department owns and operates a 6" water main
located on NE 23`d Street. This project proposes to design and construct a new 12„
water main extension tying in to an existing 12" water main at NE 4th Avenue and
extending it along NE 23rd Street to the east end of the subject property.
The water connections to serve the buildings will be done from the proposed 12" water
main. The connections will consist of fire line supply, domestic water and irrigation
water. No on -site wells are planned for this project.
The calculations for anticipated water volumes required for this project are shown
below, in Table 2.

III. SANITARY SEWER
The Miami Dade Water and Sewer Department owns and operates a 8" gravity sewer
system along NE 23`d Street, fronting the subject property. It is anticipated that multiple
gravity sewer laterals connecting to the existing 8" gravity sewer main will be sufficient
to serve this project. No pump station will be built on -site to serve the project. Table 3,
below, shows the anticipated sewage flow calculations.

Average Flow 13.19 gpm
Peak Flow (13.2 x 3.5) 47 gpm

• IV. SOLID WASTE GENERATION
Solid waste generated by this project will be collected in standardized on -site containers
for refuse and recyclables. Regular pick-up service will be provided by either private
hauling companies and/or The City of Miami Solid Waste Department, which will
transport the waste to Metro -Dade County's Disposal or Recycling facilities.
The projected daily volumes of solid waste generation are shown in Table 4, below.
