<br />DESIGN 3:
<br />
<br />Swale Desi1;:ns (Figure 5.4). Low density residential runoff (5-15%
<br />impervious) can be ~reated ~hrough a series of surface t~enches
<br />located in swale drainage systems. The major design requirement is
<br />that the longitudinal slope of the swale collection system should
<br />neVer exceed 5%. OtherwiseJ concentrated flows will develop that
<br />might erode the swales and contaminate the trench. In addition.
<br />concentrated flows may pass around or over the surface of the
<br />trench and never infiltrate. An earthen check dam or railroad tie
<br />placed perpendicularly to the flow path, on the downstream side of
<br />the trench ~ can prevent Ifshort-circuitingll and increase the volume
<br />of runoff exfiltrated by the trench. The slope of the trench
<br />should be as close to zero as feasible, and should have sides lopes
<br />of 5:1 (h:v) or less.
