FOREWORD
The first quarterly supplement to SELECTED URBAN STORM WATER RUNOFF
ABSTRACTS is a compilation of abstracts summarizing articles from a
variety of technical publications covering subjects pertinent to the
problem of urban drainage. There was no reported material solely
related to the following sections: sewer hydraulics, combined sewers,
or storm water - quality, quantity, and pollution.
The present work includes 36 abstracts of documents published for the
most part from July 1970 through September 1970. For convenience, the
abstracts are classed in eight categories and arranged alphabetically
by author and numerically by abstract number within each category.
Since most of the papers fit into more than one category, a cumulative
subject index at the end of the volume provides the necessary access to
individual concepts and should be utilized for locating all abstracts
in which this concept is significant. The numbers following an index
term are the numbers for the abstracts in which this term is found.
Each item includes a bibliographic citation, an abstract, and a set
of indexing descriptors (subject terms listed in the WATER RESOURCES
THESAURUS, November 1966 edition) and identifiers (newly suggested
index terms). The most important index terms are marked by an asterisk.
An author index and journal list are included for the reader's benefit.
Copies of the articles abstracted in most cases can be obtained from
research libraries covering water pollution or public health engineering
literature.
Suggestions concerning the improvement of content and format, or
expansion of subject coverage in future supplements will be gratefully
received.

Identifiers: *Chattanooga, Tennessee, Sewer lining, Capacity.
A visual inspection of the brick sewer system in Chattanooga, Tennessee
resulted in its rehabilitation with pneumatically applied reinforced
concrete lining, known as gunite. This repair method reduces the
carrying capacity; however, the newly lined surface reduces many
existing friction losses in the deteriorating conduit, and capacity
in the repaired sewer is increased from the higher flow velocities. A
total of $633,113.70 was needed to repair the main brick sewers in the
downtown area of Chattanooga.

Racine, Wisconsin is the test area for a system of satellite sewage
treatment plants designed to eliminate the need for separating storm and
sanitary sewers. The process involves five satellite plants which will
treat the discharge from the combined sewer overflow during periods of
heavy runoff. A screen/dissolved air flotation unit will remove inorganic
pollutants and suspended solids from the combined sewer overflow.

Identifiers: *Combined sewers, *Minneapolis - Saint Paul Sanitary
District, *Urban runoff.
This paper describes a unique application of digital computers for
maximizing the capture of urban runoff in the combined sewer system of
the Minneapolis - St. Paul Sanitary District. The real-time dynamic
computer control of system overflow-regulators proved effective in
helping to increase flows in interceptor sewers, thus reducing the
frequency of overflows of raw sewage to the Mississippi River. Major
overflow regulators were modified by replacing floats on the gates with
hydraulic cylinders. Inflatable dams were installed in trunk sewer
outlets. Level-sensing bubbler tubes with transducers and gate position
slidewires were installed to provide sewer level and regulator status
information. Control and telemetry equipment were installed in under-
ground vaults. The data acquisition and control system provides both
manual-remote and automatic control of the system by central computer
using leased telephone wires. The author describes the river monitoring
and wastewater sampling methods employed, the rain gage installations,
mathematical modeling, and operating methods. He concludes that the
feasibility of controlling and operating a large combined sewer system,
-------
using centralized computer control, has been demonstrated and that this
data acquisition system will facilitate future testing of improvements in
water resource management.

Identifiers: *Boston, Massachusetts, *Sanitary sewers.
As part of the Bay Village urban renewal project in Boston, the old
sanitary and storm drain system was replaced with separate systems.
Asbestos-cement pipes were used for the first time in Boston for the
sanitary sewer. Reinforced concrete was used for the new storm drain,
which parallels the sanitary sewer. Other public improvements in this
area include resurfacing of streets, renewal of underground facilities,
and installation of brick sidewalks and gas lamps.

For the purpose of obtaining background information on sanitary sewers
in the Gulf Coast areas, 71 municipalities and sewer districts spanning
the coast from Texas through Florida were canvassed by questionnaire
during the latter part of 1967 and the early part of 1968. The article

describes the following results obtained from the survey: 1) type of
sewers, 2) length of sewers, 3) pipe construction materials, 4) type
of bedding used, 5) infiltration experience, 6) soil description and
depth of water table, and 7) average flow and treatment used.

INFILTRATION IN SEPARATE SANITARY SEWERS; Determination, Economic Cost,
and Correction Methods,

Descriptors: *Pollution abatement, *Surveys, *Storm runoff, *Infiltration,
Identifiers: *Sanitary sewers, *lnfiltration remedies.
The author has investigated the matter of eliminating both infiltration
and stormwater which are serious pollution and economic problems
afflicting most sanitary sewer systems. He contends that the elimination
of stormwater from separate sanitary sewage systems is relatively easy,
inexpensive, straightforward, and requires mainly education and effort.
At the same time, reduction of infiltration is found to be more difficult
and expensive. Several developments for reducing leakage that are less
expensive than reconstruction include: two leak reduction methods,
localized pressure grouting, and recent developments in testing and
detector devices (for example low pressure air testing, and a 35-mm
color camera).

STORM SEWER ASSESSMENTS,
Richard R. Dague
Public Works, Vol 101, No 8, pp 62-66, 118, Aug 1970. 2 fig, 2 ref.
Descriptors: *Cost-benefit analysis, *Assessments, Runoff coefficient,
Rainfall intensity, Drainage districts, Costs.
Identifiers: *Des Moines, Iowa, *Storm sewers.
The author presents a method of storm sewer assessment which was
applied to a project in Des Moines, Iowa. Four benefit factors
considered in apportioning property costs can be utilized in storm
sewer assessment if the relative weight of each factor is determined by
the relative benefit to be accrued. Other factors to be considered
reflecting costs and therefore benefit are: (1) the area drained,
(2) the runoff coefficient, (3) the rainfall intensity, (4) the distance
to the outlet, (5) the unit pipe cost, and (6) the slope of the sewer.
10
-------
Each of these factors are discussed in relation to a sub-area. Once the
dollar benefit to each sub-area is determined, the benefit to individual
properties within sub-areas must be ascertained. Also, in arriving at
storm sewer assessment, the benefit accruing to public property must be
considered. Means for evaluating all of these factors are thoroughly
described. The Des Moines procedure outlined in this article does not
necessarily have application to all storm sewer special assessment
problems. The test of the method will come through its application to
a variety of storm sewer assessment problems along with success in the
courts.

STORM SEWER DESIGN,
F. D. Rickman
Paper presented at the National Conference Committee on Electronics,

Identifiers: *Storm sewers, *Storm sewer design.
The Fortran program was developed to design storm sewers from the basic
data of rainfall, drainage areas, and pipe slopes and lengths. Storm
sewer design lends itself to a computer operation because of the
repetitive calculations involved in designing a complicated system
of interconnected pipes. A program has been written in Fortran II for
the IBM 1620 computer; a program for output listing was written for
the IBM 1401 computer to give a better presentation to the designer and
engineer. The storm sewer program is now being converted from Fortran
II to Fortran IV.

The writer has thus far been unable to comprehend, for the extreme
case of a submerged storm system and assumed incompressible water, how
11
-------
the rate of flow out of the system at the outfall can differ from the
rate of Inflow at the inlets at any time. A lag time has been introduced
into the computer program to allow for utilization of storage available
within the system. The writer agrees with the thought that the design
flows at individual points may be found from intensities occurring when
peak flows reach the points, but he disagrees with the thought that
the design for flows between the points can be made for the same
hydraulic grade at different times.

The National League of Cities (NLC) and the United States Conference of
Mayors (USCM) estimated between $33 billion and $37 billion will be
needed to combat water pollution between 1970 and 1976, as reported by
Senator Muskie, in comparison with FWQA reports of $10 billion over the
five year span, 1970-1974. The NLC-USCM survey asked for specific cost
data categorized in the following manner: 1) needs for primary and
secondary treatment facilities; 2) needs for tertiary treatment facili-
ties; and, 3) needs for interceptor and storm sewers, including projected
costs of separating storm and sanitary sewers, and/or stcring storm water
15

overflows. The survey covered 1,008 communities with a combined popu-
lation of approximately 89.4 million. Based on the projection from this
survey, the NLC and USCM estimated the total national needs for state and
local water pollution control facilities for the next six years which
includes a five percent inflation factor. Discussion on past, present,
and future legislative action is included, and a cost chart based on
survey results is given.

Improvements of existing drainage systems and extensive development of
drainage works are required on the present sewer systems in order to
comply with new water quality standards. Large-scale sewerage works,
planned on a basin area unit system, have more advantages because of
the mixture of treated wastes produced. Advanced system engineering
dealing with dynamic programming and multi-level-techniques will be
employed in this sewer scheme which eventually may decide general
water quality.

The Kano River Basin supports fresh water fish and the water is used for
irrigation purposes. Industrial development and urban growth in the
vicinity of the river basin have contributed to the water pollution prob-
lem. The Economic Planning Agency which investigated the quality of the
basin water in the years 1966 and 1967 designated the water area and the
water quality standard so as to maintain water quality control. By the
year 1975, the pollution degree is estimated to decrease approximately
60% with water pollution control based on the new standard.

This installation is especially good for pumping sewage containing larger
sized pieces without separation or processing. The collector feed pipe is
connected in normal circumstances to the collecting reservoir by a feed
pipe and a pump with its associated suction and delivery pipes. In
exceptional conditions the system is connected via an overflow situated as
close as possible above the feed pipe to the sewage pit and consists of
an overflow pipe, horizontally below which is fixed a grid, and separated
from the incoming liquid flow by a vertical baffle wall which lies along
the diameter of the pit and above the feed pipe.

Identifiers: *Storm sewage.
This is a report on ongoing research, conducted by A. J. Shuckrow,
G. W. Dawson, and A. T. Brix, covering enumeration and evaluation of
the factors which should affect decisions as to the degree of water
pollution control required in each specific situation. Powdered
activated carbon may be utilized in a physical-chemical process for the
treatment of combined storm sewage. The program involves laboratory
development of the process, design and construction of a 100,000 gpd
mobile pilot plant, and demonstration of the process. The process
involves contacting the wastewater with powdered activated carbon and
subsequent coagulation with alum and a polyelectrolyte followed by
high-rate tube settling. The process appears to meed the following
desirable characteristics for treatment of combined storm sewage: short
detention time, intermittent use with capability to tolerate widely
fluctuating flows and wastewater composition, small space requirements,
high quality effluent, and economical operation. Based on the labora-
tory findings, the mobile pilot plant is being designed to fit into a
21
-------
standard forty-foot trailer van with the exception of the carbon regen-
eration facility, which will be skid mounted. The system is designed
for maximum operational flexibility and includes turbidity, pH, and flow
measuring instruments in addition to the continuous organic carbon
analyzer.

Oil Gas J, Vol 68, No 35, P 79, Aug 31, 1970.
Descriptors: *Water pollution control, *Treatment facilities, Control
systems, Concrete construction, Separation techniques.
Identifiers: *Industrial treatment, *Storm water treatment.
A water pollution control system, which separates storm and industrial
effluent and treats plant wastewater before release into the bayou,
is being installed. This $8.8 million operation provides the Firestone
plant with a separate industrial effluent collecting system and a sepa-
rate storm water collecting system, thus the possibility of flushing the
two systems together during a heavy rainfall is eliminated.

OZONATION, NEXT STEP TO WATER PURIFICATION,

Ozonation is an outstanding method for purifying water, because ozone
is a superior oxidizing agent and oxidation helps clean water thoroughly.
Workings of the two types of ozonators are diagrammed and described.
Ozonation is not yet used in the U.S. to purify municipal drinking water
because most state laws demand that chlorination be used. Ozonation
does not replace chlorination, but it incorporates chlorine into its
process in two forms. Ozonation kills bacteria and viruses faster than
does chlorination; in addition, ozone does not affect water taste, and
it eliminates the slight chlorine taste introduced during primary treat-
ment. Ozonation costs about twice as much as chlorination, but both
are very inexpensive. A U.S. trend is now towards ozonation of waste-
water, and one pilot plant in Philadelphia is designed to purify combined
sewer and stormwater discharge when flash floods cause untreated water
and sanitary sewage to overflow into rivers. Additional uses of ozone
in connection with wastewater are mentioned.

Fleming: A method to calculate continuous runoff volumes preferred
by the writer is to employ simulation techniques using the Hydrocomp
Simulation Program which simulates the complete land phase of the
hydrological cycle, and uses kinematic wave assumptions for flow in
circular conduits. For purposes of the mathematical model a large
scale computer could be assessed using the PDP-9 for data acquisition
and control of automatic gates.
McFall: The writer would like to see a breakdown of costs into the
categories of 1) capital outlay, 2) equipment operating, and 3) personnel
cost.

The writer states that the Road Research Laboratory method provides a
basis for evaluation of potential drainage area responses without prior
extensive collection of local urban streamflow records furnishing a
simple rationale for estimating flow hydrographs. The RRL model seems
advantageous from the standpoints of simplicity, ease of application,
23

minimal data input requirements, and reasonable reliability of results
in the common application range.

SURFACE RUNOFF FROM GRADED LANDS OF LOW SLOPES,

Descriptors: *Mathematical studies, *Data collections, *Surface runoff,
Estimating equations, Storms, Louisiana.
Identifiers: *Data analysis.
This paper reports on analysis of surface runoff data collected during
1962, 1963, and 1964 near Baton Rouge, La. The object of the data
analysis was to develop reliable prediction equations for estimating
peak rate and total amount of surface runoff from any storm. The
hypothesis tested was that peak rate and total amount of surface runoff
could be expressed as functions of precipitation, row slope, row length,
and antecedent soil moisture. Some conclusions drawn from the experiment
include: 1) the effect of antecedent soil moisture is independent of
precipitation, if the peak rate of runoff is the dependent variable;
2) the effect of slope and length of surface runoff is not independent
of precipitation; 3) a single, precipitation - intensity measure is
sufficient for expressing the effect of precipitation on peak rate of
surface runoff.

SIMPLIFICATION OF INTEGRATED STORMWATER PLANNING FOR MODERN MULTIPLE LAND

Descriptors: *Hydrology, *Storms, Design, Drainage, Storage, Hydrographs,
Watersheds.
Four synthetic hydrograph methods were applied on five watersheds in
hopes of simplifying planning decisions for reserved space in valley
bottoms of suburbia headwaters. Both hydrograph and routing procedures
were programmed for digital computer evaluation for the more than 300
cases considered. General conclusions include the following: 1) no
simple rules can be given on width of floodways to planners; 2) computer
methods greatly facilitate routing and synthetic hydrograph computations;
3) a great need exists for data-based methods for predicting suburban
design hydrographs in ungaged situations; and 4) a new course was de-
veloped on urban hydrology based on the studies results.

J Hydraulics Div, Am Soc Civil Engrs,
Vol 95, No HY6, pp 1899-1917, Nov 1969.
Descriptors: *Unit hydrographs, *Methodology.
Identifiers: *Error analysis, *Data analysis.
The author comments upon the analysis of the errors of the first three
of the four methods of unit hydrograph derivation studied in the origi-
nal paper: (1) Laguerre Functions Method (LFM); (2) Harmonic Series
Method (HSM); (3) Least Square Method (LSM); and (4) Gamma Distribution
Method (GDM); when the basic data (the hyetograph and hydrograph) were
in error. The mean errors, as a percentage, for the four methods of
derivation using error-free data are presented in a table. Errors due
to functional structure and flexibility of the methods are demonstrated.
Further investigation is suggested concerning the fact that the derived
unit hydrographs will differ more from the true ones for smaller
durations of rainfall excess and errors in data.

Identifiers: *RRL method, *Urban runoff.
The authors separately discuss aspects of the article included in a
previous issue on an application of the Road Research Laboratory method
(RRL) for synthesizing urban runoff hydrographs to conditions at three
locations in the United States. Leonard Watkins describes the use of
this method in Great Britain, concluding that the amounts of runoff found
by the American authors agreed with experience in Great Britain. Frank
Snyder discusses the theoretical applicability and other features of the
RRL method, and he concludes that more analysis is needed in regard to
25
-------
the assumption of a constant runoff coefficient equal to the percentage
of impervious area connected to a storm drainage system. He also states
that the applicability of the RRL method to urban basins with pervious
and unconnected impervious areas for infrequent design storms is limited.
Harvey Duff and George Hsieh compare the commonly-used rational method
to the RRL method for predicting urban runoff. The RRL method seems to
result in more accurate inflow predictions, but both methods predict
runoff accurately. The rational method appears easier to use; and when
the RRL method is tried, a shorter time increment is recommended.

POTENTIAL IMPACT OF TUNNELS ON WATER POLLUTION AND FLOOD CONTROL IN THE
CHICAGO AREA,
Forrest C. Neil
Paper presented at the Am Soc Civil Engrs Environ Meeting, Chicago,
Oct 13-17, 1969. 21 p, 6 fig.
Descriptors: Underground storage, *Tunnels, *Control structures,
*Sewers, *Flood control, *Water pollution control, Drainage systems,
Design, Storm runoff, Separation techniques.
Identifiers: *Chicago, Illinois.
A novel approach to the solution of water pollution and flood control
problems in Chicago is described. It is part of a $2 billion, 10 year
approach to meet water quality standards. The present combined sewer
systems cannot handle the tremendous quantities of wastewater inputs
during periods of precipitation when storm runoff is appreciable.
Wastes discharged to the canal system, as a result of the overflows,
are contributing to the pollution of Lake Michigan and the surrounding
rivers. Sewer separation alone would not improve water quality in
the waterways sufficiently to meet established standards. A separate
sanitary sewer system would cost over A billion dollars. A system of
deep tunnels for temporary subsurface storage of combined sewer over-
flows is desirable. This method could be achieved at less than 25%
of the cost of sewer separation, using rock mole machines.
