Hydrology and Hydraulic Design Report
for
Vista Dunes Condominiums
(North Side of Miles, West of Adams)
In the
City Of La Quinta
Purpose
4/26/2006
This report identifies the drainage design criteria used, and describes the design of the
project drainage system. The analysis identifies the 100 -year storm runoff rates and volumes
generated within the boundary of Vista Dunes, to be used in the design of streets, inlets,
drainage pipes, and retention basins.
Existing Site Description
The site measures approximately 1320 by 330 feet, consisting of approximately 10.1 gross acres,
located adjacent to the north side of Miles Ave, 330 feet west of Adams St, within the City of La
Quinta, County of Riverside, California. The site occupies the highest ground in the vicinity.
Existing Drainage Patterns
The north 1/3 of Vista Dunes drains north to a concrete flume down the side slope into
retention basin 2. Basin 2 is 20 feet lower than the site.
The existing secondary overflow for the north 1/3 of the site and existing tract 23269 occurs
at the intersection of Fred Waring Ave and Adams St north of the site at approximately
elevation 86.
The southerly 2/3 of the site drains to Miles Ave. Approximately 100 feet of Adams street
drains south to Miles Ave, and thence west to the low point at the center of the Vista Dunes
site.
The existing secondary overflow for the south 2/3 of the site, existing tract 23268, and
surrounding area occurs at the southwest corner of the intersection of Miles Ave and Adams
St approximately 330 feet east of the site at approximately elevation 92.5. Overflow then
drains south along Adams to the White Water Wash.
These overflows are not altered by the Vista Dunes development. The low point of the Miles
Ave gutter at the entrance to Vista Dunes is elevation 86.05. The maximum 100 -year, 24
hour design storm water surface elevation in the existing Retention Basin 1 is 89.05.
All existing adjacent properties are lower than Vista Dunes. An existing concrete block
privacy wall several feet inside the west property line of the site prevents drainage from the
site onto neighboring lots.
Proposed Project Description
Vista Dunes is a project by the City of La Quinta Redevelopment Agency to redevelop a
former mobile home park into an 80 unit condominium complex. It is bounded on the west by
a large City owned, turfed retention basin / park (designated Basin 1 for this report), and
Tract 23268, a single family residential development that drains into Basin 1.; It is bounded
on the north by several residential lots and another large, turfed, retention basin / park
Vista Dunes 4/26/2006
MDS 66902
(designated Basin 2 for this report). It is bounded on the east by a Fire Station and a church
parking lot, which drain to the east to Adams St, and thence north along Adams to inlets near
Palma Dr. tthat drain to Basin 2.
Site development includes full improvement of the Miles Ave frontage and all onsite areas,
and retention of drainage from all these areas in the existing large Basin 2 and in a smaller
onsite Basin 1A at the southwest corner of the site.
Proposed Drainage Patterns
Vista Dunes is designed to collect and convey the 100 -year design storm runoff through the onsite
street and drainage piping into the existing retention basin 2 and proposed Basin 1A located in open
space areas on the north and southwest sides of the project. This runoff includes drainage from the
north half of the Miles Ave frontage.
A retention basin is proposed at the southwest corner of the site. Miles Ave will be improved
with realigned curb, left turn lane and bus turnout, parkway landscaping, and a stepped
retaining / privacy wall. Miles Ave drainage will be collected by an inlet at the entrance into
Vista Dunes (CB# 3) and piped to the onsite Retention Basin, (Designated Basin 1A) This will
improve the drainage of Miles Ave at this low point.
The secondary overflow will continue to be east to the intersection with Adams and thence
south along Adams or east along Miles to the Whitewater Wash.
All storm drainage from the site and adjacent street is conveyed by surface flow in the rear
yard swales and streets to grated area drains and curb inlets. It is then conveyed by storm
drain pipes to grated distribution boxes in the bottoms of the retention basins.
Large storm flows rise through the top grate of these boxes, spread over the bottom of the
retention basins, and percolate into the bottom and sides of each basin.
Small Nuisance water flows are disposed of in the Nuisance Water Disposal System (NWDS).
(See discussion to follow).
The existing flume at the north end of the site is replaced with area drains, a curb inlet, and
piping to a new NWSD in the bottom of Basin 2.
The existing wall along the west property line will remain. Masonry privacy walls will be
constructed along the remaining three sides. These walls will insure that all drainage will be
contained within the site.
Proposed Drainage System Design Methods
All basins are designed for the maximum water surface at overflow to be 1 foot or more below
the pad elevation of the lowest buildings within the site.
The Riverside County Synthetic Unit Hydrograph Method is used to determine the storm runoff
volumes. A Flood Routing program is used to determine required retention basin storage after
deduction of percolation from the basin.
The on-site soil percolation rate was tested in 1988 for the existing basins 1 and 2 at the time
of development of Tracts 23268 & 23269. These tests indicate a percolation rate of 2.64 to
4.65 inches/hr. (See enclosed Appendix D — Tab 10 - KWL Associates hydrology
calculations).

4/26/2006
A design percolation rate of 2.0 in/hr was used in all design computations per COLA
standards. The maximum depth of water storage required in the proposed Retention Basin
1 A is 3.1 feet for the 100 year design storm. (3 hr / 100 yr ).
The retention basin drainage areas for the existing offsite basins 1 and 2 and the proposed onsite
basin 1A are evaluated with Unit Hydrograph and Flood Routing Hydrographs for the runoff from 100 -
yr storms of 1, 3, 6, and 24-hour duration. The storm yielding the largest required storage volume is
designated the design storm for each Basin (See Summary 6, 6A, and 6B, Tab 3 and Appendix A,
Tabs 4, 5, and 6). The capacity of each existing Basin is calculated and confirmed.
A CivilCadd / CivilDesign computer program using the Rational Method hydrology procedure outlined
in the Riverside County Flood Control District Hydrology Manual is used in calculating the required
capacity of each street, inlet, pipe, and drainage structure (See Rational Method Storm Drain
Hydrology in Appendix B, Tab 6).
A Water Surface Profile Design program is used to calculate the Hydraulic Grade Line for each pipe
system. (See Appendix B-3, Tab 9)
Nuisance Water Disposal
Nuisance water is defined as silt and contaminant -carrying runoff from landscape irrigation and the
debris and contaminants flushed from pavement surfaces during the first minutes of storm runoff.
All storm drainage from the site and adjacent streets is collected in the streets and storm drain piping,
and flows to junction boxes in the bottoms of the retention basins. Large storm flows will rise through
the top grate of these boxes, spread over the bottom of the retention basins, and percolate into the
bottom and sides of each basin.
Nuisance water flows smaller than the capacity of the NWDS will follow the same path, but will flow
from the distribution boxes through small diameter pipes to the NWDS, to be clarified and percolated
into the ground.
The NWDS is designed to collect nuisance water from hard surface and landscaped areas, remove
debris and floating contaminants using Maxwell System pre -clarifiers upstream of each sand filter,
remove silt and other non -floating contaminants using sand filters, and dispose of the clarified water in
underground percolation chambers beneath the bottom of the basins. (See attached Summary 9, Tab
3)
