WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Weld, State of Colorado,
pursuant to Colorado statute and the Weld County Home Rule Charter, is vested with the authority
of administering the affairs of Weld County, Colorado, and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners, on December 28, 2000, adopted Weld

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of County Commissioners of the County
of Weld, State of Colorado, that certain existing Chapters of the Weld County Code be, and hereby
are, repealed and re-enacted, with amendments, and the various Chapters are revised to read as
follows.
CHAPTER 8
PUBLIC WORKS
Add ARTICLE XI- Storm Drainage Criteria
Division 1 - General Provisions
Sec. 8-11-10. Intent.
A. The intent of the Weld County Storm Drainage Criteria is to provide minimum standards to
preserve and protect the public health, safety and general welfare in the unincorporated lands
of the County, pursuant to authority granted by Part 4 of Article 15 of Title 30, and Article 35
of Title 30, C.R.S.
B. Adequate stormwater management is necessary to preserve and promote the health, safety,
general welfare, and economic well-being of the County. Drainage is a regional issue involving
multiple governmental jurisdictions and affecting all property parcels. This makes it especially
critical for drainage systems and programs to address both public and private needs. The
County should be directly involved to provide coordination and master planning for area -wide
drainage facilities.
C. Drainage plans should adhere to generally accepted engineering principles and practices and
shall conform to applicable laws and regulations. Development shall consider the features and
functions of the existing drainage system.
D. Application of these policies is supported by technical drainage criteria and data. When
designed and implemented in a comprehensive manner, drainage facilities can be provided
in a manner that will avoid water -related damage to infrastructure, maintain or improve water
quality, and enhance the health, safety, and general welfare of the County.
Sec. 8-11-20. Definitions
For the purpose of this article, the following terms, phrases, and words and their derivations
shall have the meanings given herein:
Control Measures (formerly Best Management Practices/BMPs): for the purposes of this
Article, temporary or permanent erosion and sediment control methods that have been
determined (according to EPA guidance) to be the most effective, practical means of preventing
or reducing pollution from nonpoint sources. For the purposes of this Article, control measures
address prevention of water pollution and control of dust from construction sites.
Detention pond: A flood control feature designed to temporarily store runoff and reduce peak
flows. Detention ponds return water to the watershed through an outlet designed to release at a
specified rate.
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4): An area defined by the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 40 CFR 122 as defined in Chapter 8, Article IX of this
code.
Non -Urbanizing: An area farther than % mile from municipal boundaries, as amended.
Retention pond/Retention facility: A flood control feature designed to temporarily store runoff
and reduce peak flows. Retention ponds return water to the watershed through infiltration into the
ground.
Urbanizing: An area within 1/4 mile from municipal boundaries, as amended.
Sec. 8-11-30. Adoption of storm drainage standards.
A. The Urban Drainage and Flood Control District's "Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual,"
(UDFCD Manual) consisting of Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3, as currently published or
hereafter amended, is hereby adopted by reference, with the amendments and additions
which are set forth herein. All references to "District" or "The District" within the UDFCD
Manual shall be replaced with 'Weld County". The provisions of this Article shall be known as
the "Weld County Storm Drainage Criteria." All facilities for stormwater management on
properties located within the unincorporated lands of the County, whether public or private,
shall be designed and constructed in accordance with such criteria, unless a master drainage
plan specific to the area of the site has been approved by the County. The Weld County Storm
Drainage Criteria shall be available on the Weld County Public Works Department's Website.
B. The criteria and procedures contained in this article are intended to supplement the UDFCD
Manual in ways specific to Weld County. In the case of a conflict between the UDFCD Manual
and the supplemental criteria and procedures in this article, such supplemental criteria and
procedures shall take precedence over the UDFCD Manual.
Sec. 8-11-40. - Drainage policy.
A. Weld County pursues a jurisdictionally unified drainage effort to assure an integrated
drainage system and to cooperate with other regional and local planning agencies on
drainage matters.
B. For new development, un-detained discharges to roadside ditches located in the County
right-of-way are prohibited.
C. Except as set forth below, Weld County requires regional and/or on -site detention for all
future developments. Temporary or interim detention/retention may be required if the
downstream regional facilities have not yet been constructed per the applicable master plan
for that location. Stormwater retention facilities are normally not allowed in Weld County but
will be considered for special circumstances through the variance process as defined in this
article.
D. Weld County requires detention of runoff from the 1 -hour, 100 -year, storm falling on the
developed site and release of the detained water at the historic runoff rate of the 1 -hour,
5 -year storm falling on the undeveloped site for urbanizing areas and the historic runoff rate
of the 1 -hour, 10 -year storm falling on the undeveloped site for non -urbanizing areas. Historic
is defined as an undeveloped site with a 2.0% imperviousness. If an urbanizing jurisdiction
has adopted a different historic runoff rate than that stated in this subsection, then the most
restrictive runoff rate shall apply.
E. Public Works shall review and approve new development in accordance with the storm
drainage criteria of this article.
F. Weld County will not accept any detention or retention pond that does not drain in accordance
with state and federal law or causes injury to water rights. Upon evaluation, improvements
may be necessary to downstream capacity.
G. Irrigation ditches shall not be used as outfall points for stormwater runoff from Uses by
Special Review, Site Plan Reviews, Subdivisions, or Planned Unit Developments, unless
such use is approved, in writing, by the ditch owner(s). Water quality treatment may be
required.
H. An as -built survey of stormwater facilities shall be provided if requested by Public Works.
I. Exceptions to stormwater detention shall not jeopardize the public health, safety, and welfare
of public and private property. No stormwater detention will be required for sites that meet any
of the following conditions. Requirements of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System
(MS4) areas remain applicable. Public Works will confirm if the development qualifies for an
exception based upon the information provided by the applicant. Exceptions shall be
supported with an approved drainage narrative, which must describe at a minimum:
1. Any existing and proposed improvements to the property.
2. The exception being requested for consideration.
3. Where the water originates if it flows onto the property from an off -site source.
4. Where the water flows as it leaves the property.
5. The direction of flow across the property.
6. Previous drainage problems with the property, if any.
7. The location of any irrigation facilities adjacent to or near the property.
8. Any additional information pertinent to the development.
Exceptions to the stormwater detention shall be limited to the following uses:
1. Use by Right or Accessory Use in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
2. Zoning Permits for accessory storage, commercial vehicles, home occupations, or
manufactured homes in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
3. A second dwelling permit in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
4. Towers including, but not limited to, wind and telecommunication towers.
5. Pipelines or transmission lines, excluding laydown yards, metering sites, substations, and
any other above ground appurtenances.
6. Gravel pits if the stormwater drains into the gravel pit. Releases from the site shall comply
with the Weld County Storm Drainage Criteria, including dewatering. Topographical
information shall be provided.
7. Residential developments where all the following conditions exist. This exception shall be
supported by calculations signed and stamped by a Colorado Licensed Professional
Engineer
a) Nine (9) lots or fewer.
b) The average lot size is equal to, or greater than, three (3) acres per lot.
c) Downstream roadway criteria are not exceeded.
d) The total post -development imperviousness for the rural residential development does
not exceed ten percent (10%), assuming that all internal roads and driveways are
paved, or will eventually be paved.
8. Development of sites where the change of use does not increase the imperviousness of
the site.
9. Non -Urbanizing areas where the total pre-existing and post development impervious area
produces stormwater runoff of less than, or equal to, 5 cfs for the 1 -hour, 100 -year, storm
event. This exception shall be supported by calculations signed and stamped by a
Colorado Licensed Professional Engineer.
10. Parcels with total area less than, or equal to, 1.0 gross acre.
11. An individual parcel with an unobstructed flow path and no other parcel(s) between the
Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) regulatory floodplain channel
and the project.
12. A parcel greater than 1 gross acre and less than, or equal to, 5 gross acres in size is
allowed a onetime exception for a new 2,000 sq. ft. building or equivalent imperviousness.
13. A parcel greater than 5 gross acres in size is allowed a onetime exception for a new 4,500
sq. ft. building or equivalent imperviousness.
14. Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO), Animal Feeding Operations (AFO) and
Housed Commercial Swine Feeding Operation (HCSFO) which are covered and approved
by the Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS) regulations. Portions of the site not
included or covered by the CDPS permit, shall comply with the Weld County Storm
Drainage Criteria.
Sec. 8-11-50. Rainfall.
The designer shall use the most appropriate and best available data for the project area in
determining the rainfall quantities. The applicant shall utilize local rainfall data from the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) unless otherwise approved by Public Works.
The use of synthetic hydrographs is not permitted.
Sec. 8-11-60. Runoff.
A. The Rational Method should not be used to determine runoff for basins larger than 160 acres.
In areas located in the southwest portion of Weld County, where areas are larger than 160
acres that have drainage characteristics similar to an urban area, the Colorado Urban
Hydrograph Procedure (CUHP) is an acceptable model for determining runoff amounts. The
CUHP model can be used for basins from 0 to 3,000 acres. The parameter adjustments
provided in the runoff chapter of the UDFCD Manual (Volume 1) should be used when dealing
with basins that are larger than 160 acres.
B. The CUHP model is not applicable in non -urban areas, including those areas in Weld County
that are outside of the Denver Metropolitan area. Public Works may accept other
methodologies as deemed appropriate by the design engineer.
Sec. 8-11-70. Street drainage for Use by Special Review, Commercial, Industrial, Planned
Unit Development and Residential Subdivisions.
A. Design Depth Criteria. The primary design objective is to keep the encroachment of
stormwater on the street or road below an acceptable limit for a given flood return period.
When stormwater collects on a street and flows down a gutter or swale, the stormwater
encroaches into the roadway. If left unchecked, the encroachment will hinder traffic flow and
may become hazardous. The maximum encroachment depth over the crown is 6" during the
10 -year storm and 18" during the 100 -year storm. County Highways and arterial roadways
overtopping shall be determined by the Public Works Director or Designee.
B. Inlets.
1. The design guidelines provided in the streets/inlets/storm sewers chapter of the UDFCD
Manual (Volume 1) should be used when designing stormwater inlets. The standard inlets
permitted for use in Weld County streets/roads are shown in the following table:
Inlet type permitted (CDOT Types)
Curb opening inlet Type R
:All street types with 6 -inch vertical curb
Grated inlet Type C All streets with a roadside ditch or swale
Grated inlet Type 13 !Alley or private drives with a valley gutter
Combination inlet Type 13
!All street types with 6 -inch vertical curb
2. In order to account for factors, which decrease the capacity of the inlets —such as debris
plugging, pavement overlaying, and variations in design assumptions —the theoretical
capacity calculated for inlets is to be reduced by the factors presented in the following
table for standard inlets in Weld County.
Condition Inlet Type
Sump or continuous grade

C. Pipes.
1. The design guidelines provided in the streets/inlets/storm sewers chapter of the UDFCD
Manual (Volume 1) should be used when designing stormwater pipes.
2. The applicant shall contact the Department of Public Works to determine which types of
storm sewer pipes are permissible for use in public rights -of -way or public drainage
easements.
Sec. 8-11-80. Major drainage.
A. Design Flows. The major drainage system must be able to convey the fully developed flow
from a watershed for the 1 -hour, 100 -year event without significant damage to the system.
B. Open Channel Design Principles.
1. Grass -lined open channels conveying less than 50 cfs may reduce the minimum 1.0 -foot
freeboard requirement to the freeboard required to convey 1.33 times the 100 -year design
flow. The reduced freeboard may only occur if a 1.0 -foot minimum freeboard is not
physically possible and a variance request is submitted.
2. Maximum side slopes may be as steep as 3H:1V. If slopes are greater than 4H:1V the
design engineer should address how the channels will be safely maintained.
Sec. 8-11-90. Culverts in public right-of-way.
A. Sizing.
1. The applicant shall contact the Department of Public Works to determine which types of
storm sewer pipes are permissible for use in public rights -of -way or public drainage
easements.
2. Culverts shall be designed to the following maximum headwater to depth HW/D
requirements.

B. Materials. Culverts that are to be installed in a public right-of-way that is routinely burned must
be made of either concrete or metal. Plastic pipes will not be allowed in public rights -of -way
that are subject to weed burning.
Sec. 8-11-100. Storage.
A. Detention Criteria.
1. Detention ponds shall be sized to store the stormwater runoff generated by the 1 -hour,
100 -year storm falling on the developed site and release of the detained water at the
historic runoff rate of the 1 -hour, 5 -year storm falling on the undeveloped site for urbanizing
areas and the historic runoff rate of the 1 -hour, 10 -year storm falling on the undeveloped
site for non -urbanizing areas. Historic is defined as an undeveloped site with a 2.0%
imperviousness.
2. The detention pond must include volume for the water quality capture volume. Water
quality capture volume may be included as a portion of the total 100 -year detention pond
volume. The water quality capture volume is to be drained over 40 hours.
3. Off -site flows can be routed as follows:
a. Over the spillway; or
b. Routed around the site.
4. The elevation of the top of the detention pond embankment, except at the spillway, must
be a minimum of 1 -foot above the 100 -year water surface elevation in the detention pond.
5. Outlet works should be sized and structurally designed to release at no more than the
1 -hour, 5 -year historic release rate in urbanizing areas and 1 -hour, 10 -year historic release
rate in non -urbanizing areas without structural or hydraulic failure. Historic is defined as
an undeveloped site with a 2.0% imperviousness. The outlet pipe must contain a minimum
of two concrete cutoff walls embedded a minimum of 18 inches into undisturbed earthen
soil. The cutoff walls must be a minimum of 8 inches thick. The outlet pipe bedding material
must consist of native earthen soil, not granular bedding material, to at least the first
downstream manhole or daylight point.
6. Each detention pond shall contain an emergency spillway capable of conveying the peak
100 -year storm discharge draining into the detention pond. The invert of the emergency
spillway must be equal to, or above, the 100 -year water surface elevation. The depth of
flow out of the emergency spillway shall be less than 6 inches. The spillway must have
effective erosion protection. In order to protect the emergency spillway from catastrophic
erosion failure, buried riprap shall be placed from the emergency spillway downhill to the
embankment toe of slope and covered with 6 inches of topsoil. The riprap must be sized
at the time of final engineering design. Grouting of the riprap may be required.
7. In order to prevent damage to publicly -owned infrastructure (roads, roadside ditches), a
concrete cutoff wall 8 inches thick, 3 feet deep, and extending a minimum of 5 feet into
the embankment on each side of the emergency spillway opening, is required on all
privately -maintained detention ponds and required on all regional detention ponds. The
concrete cutoff wall permanently defines the emergency spillway opening. The emergency
spillway elevation must be tied back into the top of the embankment using a maximum
slope of 4:1.
8. The design of the detention facility must provide evidence that the pond will drain in
accordance with state law. A detention pond that can cause injury to water rights or is in
violation of State or Federal law will not be accepted.
9. Simplified equations are not to be used to calculate the required volume of a detention
pond.
B. Retention Criteria.
1. Retention facilities are not allowed in Weld County without the issuance of a variance.
2. Retention facilities must be designed to contain 1.5 times the volume of the runoff
generated by the 24 -hour, 100 -year storm, plus 1 foot of freeboard.
3. The design of the retention facility must include an emergency spillway and must show
that a spill will not adversely impact downstream properties or residences. The spillway
must be designed in accordance with the detention pond spillway requirements.
4. The design of the retention facility must provide evidence that the pond will drain through
the bottom (sides slopes cannot be used in calculation) in accordance with state law. A
retention pond that can cause injury to water rights or is in violation of state or federal law
will not be accepted.
C. Erosion Protection Design Criteria. Erosion protection for storage facilities needs to be
designed to ensure that the sediment does not leave the site or impact downstream properties.
It may be necessary to install straw bales, riprap, erosion control logs, erosion control
blankets, etc. on the storage facility side slopes to ensure that erosion does not occur until the
reseeded vegetation is established. The Control Measures/BMPs outlined in the UDFCD
Manual (Volume 3) should be used.
Sec. 8-11-110. Revegetation.
A. Weld County utilizes the information provided in the Revegetation Chapter of the UDFCD
Manual (Volume 2), and the Best Management Practices Chapter of the UDFCD Manual
(Volume 3). Weld County has highly recommended seed mixes that are applicable to areas
of the County. These seed mixes can be found under the Weld County Public Works Website,
Weed Management Section. If noxious weeds, as defined by the State of Colorado, exist
onsite, the appropriate steps shall be taken before, during, and after work is completed to
control their spread.
B. Seeding and Planting. In addition to the site preparation guidelines outlined in the revegetation
chapter of the UDFCD Manual (Volume 2), if mulching with straw, the straw must be free of
seeds and weeds.
Sec. 8-11-120. Stormwater quality.
A. A water quality feature is intended to improve water quality from the impacts of site
development. A water quality feature can be an existing low spot on the property that currently
collects water or an excavated area. The volume required is based upon site size and
imperviousness. This depression is intended to allow stormwater runoff from the site to collect
and settle out any contaminants prior to flowing offsite to neighboring properties or
downstream waterways.
B. An accepted methodology for a water quality feature design can be found in the UDFCD
Manual, Volume 3, Best Management Practices.
C. For regulations pertaining to MS4 areas, refer to Chapter 8, Article IX of this code.
Sec. 8-11-130. Control Measures.
Weld County uses the Control Measures/BMPs that are outlined in the UDFCD Manual
(Volume 3) Best Management Practices.
Sec. 8-11-140. Maintenance.
A. Culverts located outside County -maintained road rights -of -way are not maintained by Weld
County. The owners of those culverts are responsible for their maintenance. Culverts that are
part of a subdivision drainage plan are maintained by the respective homeowner's association.
Those culverts should be maintained and cleaned out annually, per the drainage report
maintenance plan, or on an as -needed basis to ensure proper drainage of the subdivision.
B. To assist owners with maintenance, an operations and maintenance manual for stormwater
facilities and associated infrastructure shall be developed and included with the final drainage
report. The operations manuals will include instructions on safe and correct operations, repair
and maintenance of all installed equipment and facilities and recommended inspection
schedules. The operations and maintenance manual shall be distributed to any applicable
homeowners' association or business park association (or equivalent).
C. The property owner/developer, not Weld County, is responsible for site maintenance and
revegetation.
D. Access must be provided to the drainage facilities for long-term maintenance.
E. Areas designated for stormwater storage, retention, or detention are not to be used for storage
of materials, building, or parking, or modified without approval from the Department of Public
Works.
Sec. 8-11-150. Enforcement.
The County, through its Department of Public Works or other departments so authorized, may
enforce this Article XI through methods described below or through other methods adopted by
the Board of County Commissioners.
If it appears to County staff that any property is being or is proposed to be excavated, graded,
altered, or used in violation of this Article XI, the County Attorney, in addition to the other remedies
provided by law, ordinance or resolution, may institute an injunction, mandamus, abatement or
other appropriate action or proceeding to prevent, enjoin, abate or remove such violation. In
addition, the County may, without seeking relief from any court, refuse to issue any zoning,
building, certificate of occupancy, or other County -issued permit until the property is brought into
compliance with the requirements of this Article XI. In any case in which the improvements
required by this Article XI are included in an Improvements Agreement between the property
owner and the County, the County may access and use collateral in accordance with the terms
of that agreement for the purpose of ensuring compliance with this Article XI.
Sec. 8-11-160. Stormwater drainage criteria variances.
The variance procedure is intended to address cases of hardship. Relief from the provisions
of this article may not be granted when the hardship is brought about solely through the actions
of the appellant. No relief may be granted when the result of granting the requested relief is
detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare or when the relief is contrary to the
purpose and intent of this article. In granting any variance, the Department of Public Works may
prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards in conformity with this article. Violation of such
conditions and safeguards, when made a part of the terms under which the variance is granted,
shall be deemed a violation of this article.
The variance request shall be stamped and signed by a professional civil engineer licensed
to practice in the State of Colorado. Requests will be reviewed by the Public Works Director or
his/her designee. In order to be granted, the variance request must:
A. Describe the design criteria of the Weld County Code of which a variance is being
requested.
B. Describe the proposed alternative with engineering rationale which supports the intent of
the Weld County Code.
C. Meet the design intent of the Weld County Code.
D. Demonstrate that granting of the variance will still adequately protect public health, safety,
and general welfare.
E. Demonstrate there are no adverse impacts, from stormwater runoff, to the public
rights -of -way and/or off -site properties as a result of the project.
An applicant may appeal the denial of a variance to the Board of County Commissioners
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2-4-10 of this Code.
Variance requests, if accepted, are not precedent setting and are based upon specific site
constraints.

CHAPTER 8
PUBLIC WORKS
Add ARTICLE XI- Storm Drainage Criteria
Division 1 - General Provisions •
Sec. 8-11-10. Intent. •
A. The intent of the Weld County Storm Drainage Criteria is to provide minimum standards to preserve and protest the public health,
safety and general welfare in the unincorporated lands of the County, pursuant to authority granted by Part 4 of Article 15 of Title 30,
and Article 35 of Title 30, C.R.S.
B. Adequate stormwater management is necessary to preserve and promote the health, safety, general welfare, and economic
well-being of the County. Drainage is a regional issue involving multiple governmental jurisdictions and affecting all property parcels.
This makes it especially critical for drainage systems and programs to address both public and private needs. The County should be
directly involved to provide coordination and master planning for area -wide drainage facilities.
C. Drainage plans should adhere to generally accepted engineering principles and practices and shall conform to applicable laws
and regulations. Development shall consider the features and functions of the existing drainage system.
D. Application of these policies is supported by technical drainage criteria and data. When designed and implemented in a compre-
hensive manner, drainage facilities can be prodded in a mannerthat will avoid water -related damage to Infrastructure, maintain or
improve water quality, and enhance the health, safety, and general welfare of the County.
Sec. 8-11-20. Definitions -•
For the purpose of this article, the following terms, phrases, and Words and their derivations shall have the meanings given herein:
Control Measures (formerly Beat Management Prevh'cesIEMPs): for the purposes of this Article, temporary or permanent erosion
and sediment control methods that have been determined (according to EPA guidance) to be the most effective, practical means
of preventing or reducing pollution from nonpointsources. For the purposes of this Article, control measures address prevention of
water pollution and control of dust from 'construction sites.
Detention pond: A flood control feature designed to temporarily store runoff and reduce peak flows. Detention ponds return water to
the watershed through an outlet designed to release at a specified rate.
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4): An area defined by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in40 CFR
122 as defined in Chapter 8, Article IX of this code.
Non -Urbanizing: An area farther than%/ mile from municipal boundaries; as amended. •
Retention pond/Retention facility: A flood control feature designed to temporarily store runoff and reduce peak flows, Retention ,
ponds return water to the watershed through infiltration into the ground.
Urbanizing: An area within it mile from municipal bounI:We, as amended. •
Sec. 8-11-30. Adoption of storm drainage standards..
A. The Urban Drainage and Flood Control District's "Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual," (UDPCD Manual) consisting of Volume
1, Volume 2, and Volume 3, as currently published or hereafter amended, is hereby adopted by reference,'with the amendments and
additions which are set forth herein. All references to "District" or "The District" within the UDFCD Manual shall be replaced with
"Weld County". The provisions of this Article shall be known as the "Weld County Storm Drainage Criteria." All facilitiesforetormwe-
ter management on properties located within the unincorporated lands of the County, whether public or private, shall be designed
and constructed in accordance with such criteria, unless a master drainage plan specific to the area of the site has been approved
by the County. The Weld County Storm Drainage' Criteria shall be available on the Weld County Public Works Department's Website.
B. The criteria and procedures contained in this article are intended to supplement the UDPCD Manual in ways specific to Weld
County. In the case of a conflict between the UDPCD Manual and the supplemental criteria and procedures in this article, such
supplemental criteria and procedures shall take precedence over the UDPCD Manual.
Sec. 8-11-40., Drainage policy.
A. Weld County pursues ajurisdictienally unified drainage effort to assure en integrated drainage system and to cooperate With
other regional and local planning agencies on drainage matters.
B. For new development, un-detained discharges to roadside ditches located in the County right-of-way are prohibited.
C. Except as set forth below, Weld County requires regional and/or on -site detention for all future developments. Temporary or inter-
im detention/retention may be required if the downstream regional facilities have not yet been constructed per the applicable master
plan for that location. Stormwater retention facilities are normally not allowed in Weld County but will be considered for special
circumstances through the variance process as defined in this article,
D. Weld County requires detention of runoff from the 1 -hour, 100 -year storm falling on the developed site and release of the
detained water at the historic runoff rate of the 1 -hour, 5 year storm falling on the undeveloped site for urbanizing areas and the
historic runoff rate of the 1 -hour, 10 -year storm falling on theundeveloped site for non -urbanizing areas. Historic is defined as an
undeveloped site with a 2.0% imperviousness. If an urbanizing jurisdiction has adopted a different historo runoff rate than that
stated in this subsection, then the most restrictive runoff rate shall apply.
E. Public Works shall review and approve new development in accordance with the storm drainage -criteria of this article.
F. Weld County will not accept any detention or retention pond that does. not drain in accordance with state and federal'law or
causes injury to water rights. Upon evaluation, improvements may be necessary td downstream capacity.
G, Irrigation ditches shall not be used as outfall points for stormwater runoff from Uses by Special Review, Site Plan Reviews,
Subdivisions, or Planned Unit Developments, unless such use is approved, In writing, by the ditch owner(s). Water quality treatment
may be required.
H. An as -built survey of stormwater facilities shall be provided if requested by Public Works.
I. Exceptions to stormwater detention shall not jeopardize the public health, safety, and welfare of public and private property. No
stormwater detention will be required for sites that meet any of the.following conditions. Requirements of the Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer System (MS4) areas remain applicable. Public Works will confine if the development quartet for an exception based
upon the information provided by the applicant. Exceptions shall be supported with. an approved drainage narrative, which, must
describe at a minimum:
1. Any existing and proposed improvements to the property.
2. The exception being requested for consideration.

b) The average lot size is equal to, or greater than, three (3) acres per lot - -
c) Downstream roadway criteria are not exceeded.
d) The total post -development imperviousness for the rural residential development does not exceed ten percent (10°%), assuming
that all internal roads and driveways are paved, or will eventually be paved.
8. Development of sites where the change of use does not increase the imperviousness of the site.
9. Non -Urbanizing areas where the total pre-existing and post development impervious area produces stormwater runoff of less
than, or equal to, 5 cis for the 1 -hour, 100 year storm event. Thls exception shall be supported by calculations signed and stamped
by a Colorado I irsnssd Prnfasslnnnl. Pnnnaar -. -
In order to protect the emergency spillway from catastrophic erosion failure, buried riprap shall be placed from the emergency
spillway downhill to the embankment toe of slope and covered with 8 inches of topsoil. The riprap must be sized at the time of final
engineering design. Grouting of the riprap may be required.
7. In orderto prevent damage to publicly -owned infrastructure (roads, roadside ditches), a concrete cutoff wall 8 inches thick, 3 fee.
deep, and extending a minimum of 5 feet into the embankment on each side of the emergency spillway opening, is required on all
privately -maintained detention ponds and required, on all regional detention ponds. The concrete cutoff wall permanently defines
the emergency spillway opening. The emergency: spillway elevation must be tied back into the top of the embankment using a
maximum slope of 4:1.
8. The design of the detention facility must provide evidence that the pond will drain in accordance with state law. A detention pone
that can cause injury to weter.rights or is in violation of State or Federal law will not be accepted.
9. Simplified equations are not to be used to calculate the required volume of a detention pond.
B. Retention Criteria.
1. Retention facilities are not allowed in Weld County without the issuance of a variance,
2. Retention facilities must be designed to contain 1.5 times the volume of the runoff generated by the 24 -hour, t00-.yeerstorm, plu
1 foot of freeboard, ,
3, The design of the retention facility must include an emergency spillway and must show that a spill wllfnot adversely impact
downstream properties or residences. The spillway must be designed in accordance with the detention pond spillway requirements
4. The design of the retention facility must provide evidence that the pond will drain through the bottom (sides slopes cannot be.
Used in calculation) in accordance with state law. A retention pond that can cause injury to water rights or is in violation of state dr
federal law will not be accepted.
'C. Erosion Protection Design Criteria. Erosion protection for storage facilities needs to be.designed to ensure that the sediment
does not leave the site or impact downstream properties. it maybe necessary to install straw bales, riprap, erosion control loge,
erosion control blankets, etc. on the storage facility side slopes to ensure that erosion does not occur until the reseeded vegetation
is established. The Control Measures/BMPs outlined in the UDPCD Manual (Volume 3) should be used.
Sec. 8-11-110. Revegetation.
A. Weld County utilizes the information provided in the Revogetation:Chapter of the UDFCD Manual (Volume 2), and the Best Man-
agement Practices Chapter of the UDFCD Manual (Volume 3). Weld County has highly recommended seed mixes that are epplicabl
to areas of the County. These seed mixes can be found under the Weld County Public Works Website, Weed ManagemenlSection.
If noxious weeds, an defined by the State of Colorado, exist onsite, the appropriate steps shall be taken before, during, andafter
work is completed to control their spread.
B. Seeding and Planting. In addition to the site preparation guidelines outlined in the revegetation chapter of the UDFCD Manual
• (Volume 2), if mulching with straw, the straw must be free of seeds and weeds.
Sec. 8-11-120. Stormwater quality.
A. A water quality feature is intended to improve water quality from the impacts of site development. A water quality feature can be
an existing low spot on the property that currently collects water or an excavated area. The volume required is based upon site size
and imperviousness. This depression is intended to allow stormwater runoff from the site to collect and settle out any contaminants
. prior to flowing offsite to neighboring properties or downstream waterways.
B. An accepted methodology far a water quality feature design can be found in the UDFCD Manual, Volume 3, Best Management
Praotices.
C.'For regulations pertaining to MS4 areas, refer to Chapter 8, Article IX of this code. .
Sec. 8.11-130. Control Measures.
Weld County uses the Control Measures/BMPs that are outlined in the UDFCD Manual (Volume 3) Best Management Practices.
Sec, 8-11-140. Maintenance.
A, Culverts located outside County -maintained road rights -of -way are not maintained by Weld County. The owners of those culvert:
am responsible for their maintenance. Culverts that are part of a subdivision drainage plan are maintained by the respective home-
owner's association. Those culverts should be maintained and cleaned outannually, per the drainage report maintenance plan, or
on an as -needed basis to ensure proper drainage of the subdivision.
B. To assist owners with maintenance, an operations and maintenance manual for stonmvater facilities and associated infrastruc-
ture shall be developed and included with the final drainage report. The operations manuals will include instructions on safe and
con'ecfaperations, repair and maintenance of all Installed equipment and facilities and recommended inspection schedules. The
operations and maintenance manual shall be distributed to any applicable homeowners' association or business park association
(or equivalent).
C. The property owner/developer, not Weld County, is responsible for site maintenance and revegetation
D. Access must be provided to the drainage facilities for long -farm maintenance.
E. Areas designated for stormwater storage, retention, or detention are not to be used for storage of materials, building, or parking,..
or modified without approval from the Department of Public Works,
Sec. 8-11-f50. Enforcement. "
The County, through its Department of Public Works or other departments so authorized, may enforce this Article XI through meth-
ods described below or through other methods adopted by the Board of County Commissioners.

Operation (HCSFO) which are covered and approved by the Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS). regulations. Portions of the
site not included or "covered by the COPS permit, shall comply whh the Weld County Storm Drainage Criteria.
Sec. 8-11-50. Rainfall
The designer shall use the most appropriate and best available data for the project area in determining the rainfall quantities.
The applicant shall utilize local rainfall data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAH) unless otherwise
approved by Public Works. The use of synthetic hydrographs is not permitted.
Sec. 8-11-60, Runoff.
A. The Rational Method should not be used to determine runoff for basins larger than 160 acres. to areas located in the southwest
portion of Weld County, where areas are larger than 160 acres that have drainage characteristics similar to an urban area, the Colo-
rado Urban Hydrograph Procedure (CUHP) Is an acceptable model for determining runoff amounts. The CUHP model can be used
for basins from 0 to 3,000 acres. The parameter adjustments provided in the runoff chapter of the UDFCD Manual (Volume 1) should
be used when dealing with basins that aro larger than 160 acres.
B. The CUHP model is not applicable in non -urban areas, including these areas in Weld County that are outside of the Denver .
Metropolitan area. Public Works may accept other methodologies as deemed appropriate by the design engineer.
Sec, 8-11-70. Street drainage for Use by Special Review, Commercial, Industrial, Planned Unit Development and Residential
Subdivisions.
A. Design Depth Criteria. The primary design objective is to keep the encroachment of stormwater on the street or road below an
acceptable limit for a givenflood return period. When stormwater collects on a street and flows down a gutter or swore, the storm -
water encroaches into the roadway. If left' unchecked, the encroachment will hinder traffic flow and may become hazardous. The
maximum encroachment depth over the crown is 6" during the 10 -year storm and 18" during the 100 -year storm. County Highways
and arterial roadways overtopping shall be determined by the Public Works Director or Designee.
B. Inlets. -
1. The designguidelines provided in the streets/inlets/storm sewers chapter of the UDFCD Manual (Volume 1) should be used when
designing stormwater inlets. The standard inlets permitted for use in Weld Countystreets/roads are shown in the following table:
Inlet type permitted (CDOT Types)
Curb opening inlet Type R..
Grated inlet Type C
Grated inlet Type 13

2, The applicant shall contact the Department of Public Works to determine which types of storm sewer pipes are permissible for
use in public rightsof-way or public drainage easements, -
Sec. 8-11-60. Major drainage.
A. Design Flows. The major drainage system must be able to convey the fully developed flow from a watershed for the 1 -hour, 100 -
year event without significant damage to the System.
B. Open Channel Design Principles.'
1. Grass -lined open channels conveying less than.50 cis may reduce the minimum 1.0 -toot freeboard requirement to the freeboard
required to convey 9.33 times the 100 -year design flow. The reduced freeboard may only occur if a 1.0 -foot minimum freeboard is
not physically possible and a variance request is submitted. "
2. Maximum side slopes may be as steep as 3H:1V. If slopes are greater than 4H:1V the design engineer should address how the
channels will be safely maintained. ,
Sec. 8-11-90. Culverts in public right-of-way. -.

Less than 36 inches
36 inches to 60 inches
Larger than 60 inches but less than 84 inches
84inches to less than 120 inches.
120 Inches or larger
B. Materials. Culverts -that are to be installed in a public right-of-way that is routinely burned must be made of either concrete or
metal. Plastic pipes will not be allowed in public rights -of -way the are subject to weed burning.
Sec. 8-11-100, Storage.
A, Detention Criteria.
1 Detention ponds shall be sized to store the stormwater mnoff generated by the 1 -hour, 100 -year storm falling on the developed
site and release of the detained water at the historic runoff rate of the 1 -hour, 5-yearr storm falling on the undeveloped site for urban-
