The Village manages stormwater within Tequesta municipal limits through its Stormwater Utility
established in 2013 with the purpose of "collection of and disposal of stormwater and regulation of
groundwater are of benefit and provide services to all property within the incorporated village limits,
including property not presently served by the stormwater elements of the system." This purpose is
accomplished on two fronts: the operation & maintenance of existing stormwater infrastructure and the
permitting of new development and redevelopment within the Village. Within the 2021-2022 Strategic
Plan the Village Council identified six "Pillars" including: Organizational Excellence; Public
Infrastructure; Economic Development; Safe, Livable & Family Friendly; and Sustainable and
Environmental Stewardship. The Village Stormwater Utility contributes directly to three of these Pillars
- Public Infrastructure; Safe, Livable & Family Friendly; and Sustainable and Environmental
Stewardship.
The current stormwater requirements within the Village Code of Ordinances (Code), by which new
development and redevelopment are reviewed, is dated and does not adequately address the strategic
pillars of the Village. As a result, Strategic Initiative SE1 within the 2021-2022 Strategic Plan identified
the development of a Manual that prioritizes Low Impact Development, swales and appropriate lot

grading. To complete Strategic Initiative SE1 the Village of Tequesta Stormwater Management
Practices Manual and accompanying Residential Stormwater Guidelines and Code updates have been
developed with the assistance of Jones Edmunds & Associates, a Village engineering consultant.
These documents were provided to the Building Department, Community Development Department
and Village Attorney for review. Additionally, Final Drafts of the Village of Tequesta Stormwater
Management Practices Manual and Residential Stormwater Guidelines were presented to the Village
Environmentally Advisory Committee who unanimously voted to recommend their approval by the
Council.
Ordinance 07-22, prepared by the Village attorney, adopts the necessary updates to the Village Code
to implement the Village of Tequesta Stormwater Management Practices Manual. A subsequent
resolution will be presented to Council after second reading to formally adopt the Village of Tequesta
Stormwater Management Practices Manual. Though not being adopted as a part of this ordinance, the
proposed Village of Tequesta Stormwater Management Practices Manual and accompanying
Residential Stormwater Guidelines are attached for reference.

i INTRODUCTION
The Village of Tequesta enjoys a waterfront environment between the Loxahatchee River,
Indian River, and Atlantic Ocean. Due to the importance of its aquatic environment, the
Village has adopted a Stormwater Management Manual to help protect these resources from
the harmful effects of unmanaged stormwater runoff.
Stormwater results from a rain event, whereas runoff is the portion of stormwater that does
not infiltrate into the ground or evaporate and is not intercepted before reaching a
stormwater management system. Stormwater runoff from undeveloped lands usually does
not present a management problem since it is relatively clean with lower volumes and peaks
due to natural filtration and higher infiltration. When natural land is converted to higher -
intensity land use, stormwater becomes a problem and should be managed. Soil is often
paved over, and impervious surfaces are created. These impervious surfaces prevent
stormwater from infiltrating into the ground and recharging local surficial aquifers. This
reduces uptake by plants and increases accumulation on the surface. Increased runoff can
also create flooding in some areas. Impervious areas also create an environment where
pollutants can accumulate, degrading the quality of stormwater runoff and rendering it a
pollution source. To combat this, stormwater management practices are implemented in
developed areas to help mitigate potential increases in flood risk (water quantity) and
pollution (water quality).
Stormwater runoff conveys many types of pollutants from the landscape to natural receiving
waters. The quality of stormwater runoff varies with land use. Pollutants in stormwater can
consist of excess nutrients, solid waste, litter, lead, petroleum products (from automobiles),
chemicals, fertilizers, herbicides applied to lawns, and atmospheric deposition. Higher
nutrient loads are typically generated by residential and industrial land uses, whereas
commercial, mixed urban, and roadways generate higher concentrations of metal
contamination. Heavy metals are of particular concern because several are toxic to many
aquatic plant and animal species. Motor vehicles and road surfaces are the main sources of
heavy metals in stormwater runoff. Nutrients and pesticides from lawn fertilizers and
atmospheric deposition can cause algal blooms and similar environmentally harmful
occurrences if untreated runoff is allowed to enter surface waters. During a rainfall event,
stormwater runoff flows over these surfaces, picking up pollutants and carrying them to
surface waters.
Polluted stormwater not only causes adverse environmental impacts but also economic
impacts. An increase in the number of impervious surfaces raises the potential for flooding
and property damage. Polluted stormwater can also lead to reduced fisheries production
because of the degradation of water quality. For these reasons, stormwater management
practices have been implemented throughout Florida and the United States. This manual is
designed as a guide to best management practices (BMPs) for stormwater management in
the Village of Tequesta.
A stormwater management practice is one that shapes and improves the quality and
quantity of stormwater runoff being discharged to receiving waters. BMPs for stormwater
are those that meet discharge quantity and quality criteria at a minimal cost (Wanielista and
Yousef, 1985).
Feburary 2022 Int,Pgogl,-�39 of 290
Agenda Item #12.
Although this stormwater manual does have general criteria for water quantity and flood
protection, its main purpose is to provide guidelines related to the control of stormwater-
generated pollution and is therefore water -quality based.
The practices and procedures described in this manual are those in common use throughout
Florida and apply to the Village. This manual will be used to review and approve stormwater
management systems permitted by the Village and will be modified as appropriate
technology and regional stormwater rules dictate. The following appendices with more
detailed information have been included with the manual:

2 APPLICABILITY
This manual supplements the Village of Tequesta Code of Ordinances and is incorporated
into the Village Code by Section 66-334. A Stormwater Management Plan will be required
as part of all building permit applications that increase the impervious area of a site. The
definitions used in this manual are consistent with the Village of Tequesta Code of
Ordinances.

3 CONTENTS OF A STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
A stormwater management plan is required to be submitted as part of the Village building
permit application pursuant to Section 66-334 of the Village Code. The plan will indicate
how a project design will incorporate the required stormwater treatment criteria. The
elements that may be required as part of a stormwater management plan are listed below.
Appendix 1 is a checklist of these elements that Village staff will use to determine which of
the elements a specific plan should or should not require for each site. Some of these
elements are required for other parts of a Village building permit, but also need to be
considered as part of the stormwater management plan. In these instances, specific criteria
are the same as those already required by the Village and are not discussed further in this
manual.

4 DESIGN CRITERIA
4.1 HYDRAULIC DESIGN CRITERIA
Stormwater management facilities for development shall be designed in accordance with the
following:
1. All projects shall control the volume of discharge from developed areas at
predevelopment volume of discharge for the design level -of -service storm event adopted
in the Village Code.
2. All project sites shall control the timing of discharges to preclude any off -site impact for
any storm event.
3. Peak discharge rate shall not exceed predevelopment discharge rate for the design level -
of -service storm event adopted in the Village Code.
4.2 WATER QUALITY DESIGN CRITERIA
Stormwater designs must demonstrate a net improvement in nutrient loads or a 95-percent
reduction in pollutant loads for the design level -of -service storm event adopted in the
Village Code. This can be demonstrated through methods that are accepted by the South
Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). An example of one of these methods is using
BMPTrains, modeling software that is freely available from the University of Central Florida
Stormwater Management Academy (https://stars. library.ucf.edu/bmptrains/).

Agenda Item #12.
5 METHODS OF STORMWATER TREATMENT
Stormwater treatment facilities are designed to treat stormwater runoff to a level that
meets the design criteria defined in Section 4 of this manual. The volume to be treated
depends on the type of stormwater management facility(ies) used and the land use of the
property. The two most used methods of stormwater treatment are wet detention and dry
retention. A detention facility collects and temporarily stores a treatment volume to provide
for treatment through physical, chemical, or biological processes with subsequent gradual
release of the stormwater to a surface -water system. A retention facility is designed to
prevent the discharge of a given volume; however, it is slowly released from the facility
through infiltration and evapotranspiration. A retention or detention facility built above the
groundwater table is dry. A facility with the bottom below the control elevation is wet.
Figures la and lb conceptually illustrate the differences between each. The wet -season
water table plays an important part in the functioning of retention systems. To ensure that
stormwater facilities continue to function in the future, a stormwater design will need to
include a determination of the wet -season water table and an estimate of the future wet -
season water table. The future wet -season water table will be assumed to increase by the
difference in sea level in the year that the wet -season water table determination was made
and the projected sea level 30 years after permitting. The estimated sea -level rise
projections adopted by the Southeast Florida Climate Change Compact must be used for this
determination.

A newer approach to stormwater management is called Low -Impact Development or Design
(LID) or Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI). This approach seeks to replicate a more
natural hydrologic function on the landscape and uses several stormwater management
practices to meet the objective stated above. Some of these practices include pervious
pavement, vegetated swales, vegetated filter strips, bioretention systems, cisterns, and
green roofs.
A stormwater management system frequently incorporates several treatment methods.
Describing all the possible combinations in this manual is not feasible. The criteria for each
individual type of treatment are detailed to ensure that the proper volume of runoff is
treated in an appropriate manner for the land use. References to guidelines for LID
approaches to stormwater management are also provided.
Appendices 2 through 5 provide the design criteria for each type of management system.
5.1 WET DETENTION
5.1.1 DEFINITION
Wet detention is the collection and temporary storage of stormwater runoff — before
controlled discharge into receiving waters — in a permanently wet impoundment to provide
treatment through physical, chemical, and biological processes with subsequent gradual
controlled release of the stormwater. A wet -detention facility is a basin or pond with a
bottom elevation below the wet -season water table or control elevation.
5.1.2 METHOD OF ACHIEVEMENT
Constructed ponds on the site are generally used for wet detention. These ponds must meet
the design criteria in Appendix 2 of this manual.

5.2 DRY RETENTION
5.2.1 DEFINITION
Dry retention is a stormwater system designed to prevent the discharge of a given volume
of stormwater runoff into surface waters by complete on -site storage of that volume. A dry -
retention facility has a bottom elevation at least 1 foot above the future wet -season water
table and is usually dry. Stormwater is released only during times of heavy rainfall or
flooding.
5.2.2 METHOD OF ACHIEVEMENT
Examples of dry -retention facilities include infiltration systems (e.g., vegetated swales and
bioretention systems) and seepage systems (e.g., exfiltration trenches, pervious pavement,
and exfiltration vaults). Of these two, infiltration systems provide better pollution
attenuation. The vegetation takes up a percentage of the nutrients commonly found in
stormwater runoff. Most heavy metals bind with the soils above the water table and the
potential for them entering the groundwater is reduced.
Seepage systems consist of an underground facility that relies on a mostly outward
dispersion of stormwater from the facility to the groundwater. These structures are
constructed a minimum of 1 foot above the future wet -season water table. These systems
are most suitable for areas where the soil has high transmissivity. However, they do not
provide the nutrient uptake that is offered with vegetated infiltration systems.
Infiltration systems and seepage systems need a highly permeable substratum to allow the
stormwater runoff to percolate into the ground. Seepage systems do not require as much
land area as infiltration systems since they can be installed underground. However, the
future wet -season water table at the project site must be at least 1 foot below the seepage
structure.
5.3 LOW —IMPACT DEVELOPMENT OR DESIGN
5.3.1 DEFINITION
LID is an approach to stormwater and land use management that aims to replicate a more
natural hydrologic function by promoting infiltration, filtration, storage, and evaporation of
stormwater runoff. This approach focuses on conservation, use of on -site natural features,
site planning, and distributed stormwater management practices that are integrated into a
project's design especially its landscaping and open space. Stormwater management
through LID often includes a treatment train consisting of several different stormwater
management practices that combine to meet the stormwater quality objectives for the site.
Examples of practices that are often included in LID are:
Minimizing clearing, grading, soil disturbance, and compaction on a site.
Minimizing the impervious area on site.
Constructing pervious pavement.
Installing shallow bioretention systems.
Providing vegetated or grassed swales.
Providing vegetated filter strips.
Minimizing directly connected impervious areas.

Harvesting stormwater.
5.3.2 METHOD OF ACHIEVEMENT
A LID approach to stormwater management starts during the planning and site evaluation
and continues through the selection and design of the most appropriate stormwater
treatment practices for the site. The goal of stormwater management should be to retain,
detain, recharge, filter, and use as much stormwater as possible on a site. A variety of LID
design manuals in Florida describe this approach to stormwater management. These include
but are not limited to the following:
Low -Impact Development and Green Infrastructure: Pollution Reduction Guidance for
Water Quality in Southeast Florida (FDEP).
Sarasota County Low -Impact Development Guidance Document (Sarasota County).
Duval County Low -Impact Development Stormwater Manual (Duval County).
Pinellas County Stormwater Manual (Pinellas County).
The manuals listed above provide design guidelines for a variety of LID stormwater
practices including:
Grassed conveyance swales.
Shallow bioretention.
Pervious pavement.
Stormwater harvesting.
Green roofs.
Rainwater harvesting (cisterns).
Detention with biofiltration.
The Village will generally accept the LID practices and design considerations described in the
LID manuals referenced above, although the performance curves and tables provided in
these manuals do not necessarily apply to the Village's hydrologic conditions. Pollutant -load
reductions and sizing will need to be determined by a Florida -registered and licensed
professional engineer.

6 CONTROL STRUCTURES
6.1 DEFINITION
A control structure is a device through or over which water is discharged from a stormwater
management system. Direct discharge occurs when stormwater is released through a
control structure to the receiving waterbody. If the discharge from the stormwater
management system is by a means other than a control structure (e.g., sheet flow or
spreader swale), it is considered indirect discharge.
6.2 PURPOSE
The primary purpose of a control structure in a detention facility is to release the calculated
runoff volume slowly over a specified period. In a retention facility, the control structure
allows for volumes exceeding the calculated retention volume to leave the system in a
manner that provides adequate downstream flood protection.
6.3 TYPES OF CONTROL STRUCTURES
Direct discharge from a water management facility to the receiving body is usually achieved
through control structures such as weirs and orifices. The following criteria must be met for
all methods of direct discharge:
1. Trash -collecting gratings must be on the intake of all structures that discharge to surface
waters.
2. Detention facilities discharge must be above the permanent pool.
3. If a non -single-family residential property is greater than 50-percent impervious or
contains a system with inlets in paved areas, discharge structures must include a baffle,
skimmer, or other suitable mechanism for preventing oil and grease from being
discharged.
4. Direct discharge will only be allowed to those areas that due to their large capacity or
configuration are able to absorb concentrated discharges without erosion.
When using indirect discharge to release stormwater, a spreader swale is commonly used.
The swale is positioned parallel to the receiving body, and the side adjacent to the receiving
body is lower than the side opposite the receiving body. Figure 2 illustrates this form of
discharge. The swale allows the water to flow into the receiving body but not flood the
adjoining property. This method works well when trying to maintain a proper water level in
wetlands that are used for stormwater management. The spreader swale is also a treatment
facility for stormwater runoff. Runoff exceeding the first flush is allowed to enter the
wetland system via sheet flow.

7 CRITERIA FOR SINGLE-FAMILY/DUPLEX LOTS
7.1.1 LOTS WITHIN SUBDIVISIONS WITH APPROVED STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLANS
In all subdivisions that have an approved stormwater management plan, all new
development must comply with the approved plan. A lot grading plan, complete with
topographic information that complies with this manual, must be submitted for review
before the issuance of the building permit. If the approved stormwater management plan
does not contain sufficient lot grading information to verify that the lot being permitted will
drain in accordance with the plan, the requirements of Section 7.1.2 of this manual shall
apply.
7.1.2 LOTS WITHIN SUBDIVISIONS WITHOUT APPROVED STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLANS
Single-family and duplex homes that are not part of a master stormwater drainage system
shall provide a Stormwater Management Plan following the guidelines established in the
Village of Tequesta Residential Stormwater Guidelines Brochure. The Stormwater Brochure
and the following design criteria generally use vegetated swales. However, other retention
practices may be used. The retention volume specified in these design criteria will provide
adequate stormwater treatment on a single-family/duplex lot to meet the Village
stormwater treatment requirements. However, calculations demonstrating a net
improvement or 95-percent reduction in nutrient loads may be submitted as an alternative
to using the retention volume specified in these design criteria. The stormwater calculations
must be completed by a Florida -registered and -licensed professional engineer.
The retention volume depends on the lot size and the stormwater management system
used. Stormwater treatment can also be provided using other retention systems such as
pervious pavement, exfiltration trenches, or shallow stormwater vault systems.
Table 1 provides the required retention depths for single-family/duplex lots that are not part
of a master stormwater treatment system. These are based on the effective impervious
area, which is the sum of all the directly connected impervious areas and half the
unconnected impervious area. Unconnected impervious area is an impervious area that
must drain over more than 20 feet of pervious area before entering the stormwater system
or retention system. Directly connected impervious is an impervious area where stormwater
runoff is conveyed directly to a stormwater system without an opportunity to infiltrate.

If swale(s) are used, they must meet the following criteria:
Runoff from the site must be drained to the swale.
The swale length must be greater than its width.
The swale side slope must be 4:1 (horizontal to vertical) or shallower.
The swale must be placed so that any natural areas to be preserved are not disturbed.
The swale must be at least 6 inches deep.
Swales should be vegetated. If a swale is not vegetated, a 6-inch layer of soil
amendment formulated to reduce nutrient loading must be installed directly below
the swale. Specifications and published nutrient -reduction test results for the soil
amendment media must be provided at the time of testing. Examples of acceptable
media are NutriGoneT"' (distributed by EcoSense International) and Bold and Gold°
(distributed by Environmental Conservation Solutions).
Retention systems must discharge off site to prevent flooding, but should not discharge onto
adjacent private property. For retention systems, a control structure will allow runoff
exceeding the volume of the swale to be discharged to the receiving body. More than one
retention system may be on the property provided that each meets these criteria, and the
total volume of the retention is at least the calculated volume. Vegetated swales may be
incorporated into the set -back area of land required by the Village. Appendix 5 contains
sample calculations for single-family/duplex lots. Florida -Friendly LandscapingTM is
encouraged for vegetated swales.

Wet -Detention Facilities

Agenda Item #12.
APPENDIX 2 — WET -DETENTION FACILITIES
A wet -detention facility is usually wet and allows for 1/2 inch of the required detained
volume (1 inch or the total of 2.5 inches times the percent of impervious area, whichever is
greater) to be discharged through a control structure in no less than 24 hours. Catch basins,
pipes, swales, or channels are used in areas with large amounts of impervious surface to
collect runoff and convey it to the detention facility. The required design criteria of a wet -
detention facility are detailed below:
The pond must be at least 0.5 acre and at least 100 feet wide for lakes exceeding
200 feet in length.
Irregularly shaped lakes may be narrower than 100 feet in some portions but should
average 100 feet in width.
Projects with single -owner entities or entities with a full-time maintenance staff with
obvious interests in maintaining the areas for water -quality purposes may have the area
and width criteria waived.
The lake slopes should be at least 4:1 (horizontal to vertical) to a depth of 2 feet for
safety reasons and to allow a littoral habitat to form.
The control structure is at one point in the detention facility. Trash collection screens are
required on structures discharging to surface waters.
The control structure must be opposite from the runoff entry into the facility to prevent
hydraulic short-circuiting and to ensure full treatment.
Wet detention cannot be used as the sole form of stormwater treatment. If wet detention
is used, at least 2.5 inches of dry -retention pre-treatment must be provided before
discharging into a wet -detention facility.
Guidance on sizing, designing, and permitting wet -detention facilities or exfiltration trenches
can be found in the SFWMD ERPAppiicant's Handbook.

Appendix 3
Dry -Retention Facilities
Page 259 of 290
Agenda Item #12.
APPENDIX 3 — DRY -RETENTION FACILITIE
Two types of dry -retention facilities exist — infiltration facilities and seepage facilities. The
most common form of infiltration is vegetated swales or dry -retention basins. Runoff is
routed to a vegetated swale or dry -retention basin directly or through a catch basin and
conveyance system. A control structure, usually a rectangular weir, is at one end of the
Swale or basin to allow excess runoff to be discharged to a receiving body. A spreader Swale
can also be used with this form of treatment. This type of discharge is most often used to
release water through sheet flow to wetland areas or to prevent erosion.
The seepage method of dry retention involves allowing the water to disperse outward from
an underground facility. The runoff is routed to a catch basin and is conveyed to a seepage
system. Exfiltration trenches are the most used type of seepage systems. They are used
with catch basins and consist of a perforated pipe surrounded by coarse rock. Figure Al
shows that the system is in the ground, but above the future -condition wet -season water
table. The length of the pipe depends on several factors — the volume of runoff to be
treated, the width of the trench, the depth to the water table, and the hydraulic conductivity
of the soils.
An overflow system allowing for volumes exceeding the retained volume is usually at the
end of the trench opposite the point where the runoff enters the system and discharges to
the receiving waters. Although exfiltration trenches provide adequate stormwater treatment
and allow more land for development, they must be inspected regularly and periodically
cleaned. The pipe can become clogged and not allow proper seepage. When this occurs, the
pipe acts like a conduit for untreated stormwater. Ensuring that the upstream catch basins
are well maintained is one way of preventing failure of the trench.
Guidance on sizing, designing, and permitting dry -retention basins or exfiltration trenches
can be found in the SFWMD ERPAppiicant's Handbook.

APPENDIX 4 — CONTROL STRUCTURES
This Appendix contains design details for four types of control structures: a circular orifice, a
triangular orifice, a v-notched weir, and a rectangular weir.
Orifices and V-notched weirs are generally used with control structures associated with
detention facilities. These structures are commonly referred to as bleed -down mechanisms
and allow controlled release of a portion of detained volume over a specified period (usually
1/2 inch in 24 hours). Rectangular weirs are commonly used with detention and retention
facilities. In retention facilities, a rectangular weir allows excess runoff of the retained
volume to leave the facility. Rectangular weirs serve the same purpose as detention
facilities, using a circular or triangular orifice as the bleed -down device. Figures A2 through
A4 (adapted from the SJRWMD ERP Applicant's Handbook Volume II, 2018) illustrate these
different types of control structures and their use. The retained (permanent pool) and
detained (attenuation storage) volumes used in determining the dimensions of the control
structures are calculated from the equations following each drawing.

Agenda Item #12.
An orifice is a device that allows discharge from the center of the control structure. Simply,
it is an opening in the structure that lets water slowly pass. Detention facilities use orifices.
The rate that water is discharged depends on the cross -sectional area of the orifice.
Figure A2 shows a circular -type orifice.
The circular orifice, as the name and illustration imply, is a round opening. The bottom of
the opening is at the control elevation. In the case of dry detention, the bottom of the circle
is at ground elevation. The most common method for constructing a circular orifice is
placing a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe in the control structure. This pipe then discharges to
the receiving body or to a conveyance system discharging to the receiving body.
For maintenance purposes, the cross -sectional area of the orifice in any control structure
must be more than 6 square inches to ensure that the structure allows free flow of water
and does not become clogged. The formula following Figure A2 is used to calculate the
cross -sectional area of the orifice.
Below is an example calculation for an orifice in a control structure that is part of a wet -
detention facility. The following assumptions are made:
H = 3 feet.
One-half inch of retained stormwater = 400,000 cubic feet.

Figure A-3 shows the V-notched weirs, which are used with wet- and dry -detention facilities.
The configuration of the opening allows slow discharge of detained water over time. The
rate of discharge depends on the angle of the V-notch. When designing a control structure
with a V-notch weir, the angle is calculated using the formula below. Vdet refers to 1/2 inch
of the detained volume that must be discharged within 24 hours.
For maintenance and functional purposes, the angle of the V-notch should not be less than
20 degrees, that being the minimum to allowed for adequate flow of water and to prevent
blockage of the weir.
The following is an example calculation for a V-notched weir, which is part of a 2-foot-deep
dry -detention facility, making the following assumptions:
H = 2.0 feet (depth of detention facility).
Vdet = 500 f t2 , therefore, Vdet = 0.01 acre f oot.
0 = 2 arctan 9_(0.492)((V_det1H^2.5 ))17.
0 = 2 arctan ff(0.492)((0.01/2A2.5 ))17.
0 = 2 arctan (0.03).
0 = 3.19 degrees.

Since the calculated angle is less than 20 degrees, and the angle of the V-notch must be at
least 20 degrees, this facility will need a 20-degree angle. Since most of the stormwater
management facilities reviewed by Village staff will be small, calculations in which the angle
of the notch is less than 20 degrees will be common.

Figure A-4 shows a rectangular weir, a structure that allows excess volumes of water to
leave a stormwater management facility. A rectangular weir is used with retention facilities
to discharge runoff exceeding the retained volume. A rectangular weir can also be used with
a detention facility that has an orifice for the delayed release of stormwater runoff. The
rectangular weir allows the discharge of excess runoff during severe rain events. The weir is
constructed on top of the control structure. Rectangular weirs are used in areas where a
receiving waterbody exists for excess runoff or a method of conveying excess runoff to a
receiving waterbody.
Control structures can be made of several different types of materials. Those commonly
used include concrete, aluminum, and earthen material. PVC pipe is often used as a bleed -
down mechanism (circular orifice).
All control structures must discharge to a receiving body of water that has the capacity to
handle the discharge without causing erosion. If no receiving waterbody exists adjacent to
the stormwater management facility, some system for conveying the stormwater must be
provided and is commonly achieved by using swales, culverts, or similar mechanisms.

APPENDIX 5 — SINGLE-FAMILY/DUPLEX LOT SAMPLE
CALCULATIONS
An 8,000-square-foot lot with a house, patio, and driveway using dry -retention swales:
House 1,600 square feet (800 directly connected and 800 unconnected).
Driveway 560 square feet.
Concrete Patio 840 square feet.
Total impervious 3,000 square feet.
Effective Impervious (sum of directly connected impervious and half the unconnected
impervious) 2,600 square feet.
Total lot size = 8,000 square feet.
Ratio of effective impervious area to lot area = 32.5 percent.
Required retention depth = 0.161 feet (from Table 1).
The following equation is used to size the Swale:
Required Swale volume (cubic feet) = effective impervious area (square feet) x
0.161-foot required retention depth (feet).
Required Swale volume = 2,600 square feet x 0.161 foot.
Required Swale volume = 418.6 cubic feet.
Assuming a 4:1 (horizontal to vertical) slope for the swales to a 1-foot depth and a 2-foot
bottom width, the cross -sectional area (A) of the Swale is 6.0 square feet.
Therefore, the required length of the Swale is determined as follows:
Required length of Swale (feet) = required volume/A.
Required length of swale = 418.6 cubic feet/6 square feet.
Required length of Swale = 69.8 feet.
In areas where a receiving waterbody is adjacent to the property, a rectangular weir should
be placed at one end of the Swale for discharge of excess runoff. To reduce the required
length of the Swale, explore opportunities to reduce the directly connected impervious area
by replacing impervious surfaces with pervious surfaces or disconnecting impervious
surfaces. These changes would reduce the required Swale length.

A. Stormwater Management — An Important Element of the Site Plan
WHY all the fuss, you ask? Here's why...
The Village of Tequesta enjoys a waterfront environment between the Loxahatchee River, Indian River, and
Atlantic Ocean. Most of the year, Tequesta enjoys a sunny, near -tropical climate, but a rainy season comes —from
May through October. During the rainy months, frequent thunderstorms can last from a few minutes to a few days.
Heavy seasonal rains cause stormwater to flow from ("run-off") commercial and residential rooftops, yards, and
streets. This stormwater normally collects in the streets and works its way toward the nearest drainage inlet and
waterway. Although ponding on streets is a temporary nuisance, the pollutants carried in the stormwater create a
less visible but longer -lasting effect. These pollutants include automobile oil and grease, lawn fertilizers and
pesticides, a variety of chemicals from commercial/industrial areas, and silt and floating debris from highways.
Continued pollution of Florida's coastal area has severely degraded one of our most valuable resources, our
waterways. Pollution also has negatively affected the quality and clarity of our waters as well as reduced our fish and
wildlife populations.
Stormwater running off into the streets also wastes a valuable resource. After the rainy season comes the dry
months of November through April.
The Village of Tequesta has adopted a comprehensive development plan that establishes specific goals for
sustainable growth and development without compromising the biodiversity and intrinsic value of its natural
resources. To achieve these goals and to begin reversing the current negative trends, we must significantly reduce
the potential pollution from new development and redevelopment.
Our current Stormwater Management Practices Manual establishes guidelines for the safe management and
disposal of stormwater runoff from developed areas. The Stormwater Management Practices Manual is applicable to
all development and requires that all applications for building permits that increase impervious area contain a
stormwater management plan.
The guidelines and recommendations in this Residential Stormwater Guidelines Brochure are designed to help you
address stormwater management for your residential lot. Sample engineering calculations supporting the guidelines
of the Brochure are available in the current version of the Village's Stormwater Management Practices Manual.

AgerVdcf4VW0n 5 to Prepare Your Site Plan
OKAY, what must I do to prepare a stormwater site plan for my single-family or
duplex home?
To prepare a stormwater site plan, you must assess the existing site conditions, evaluate the proposed
improvements, and make provisions for stormwater management. This process begins with collecting site -specific
data by performing a lot survey. The lot survey is then used as a base to locate the proposed improvements and
grade the lot to control stormwater runoff. Grading is reshaping or sloping your land in a way that surface drainage
from runoff is directed away from the buildings and is controlled in a manner that eliminates or minimizes the
impact on adjacent properties and public rights -of -way. The following steps detail the data to be collected for the lot
survey and the information to be provided in the site plan.
STEP ONE — SURVEY DRAWING
Obtain a boundary survey and topographic information (from survey or publicly available light detecting and radar
[LiDAR] data) for your lot. The survey must be performed by a professional land surveyor licensed to practice in
Florida. The survey drawing must provide the following information:
a. Legal description of lot.
b. Property line dimensions, bearings, and/or angles.
c. Location of existing improvements including adjacent properties, street, and waterway (if any).
d. Three cross -sections showing elevations from the street, across lot lines, and center of the property (LiDAR-
based elevations may be used if available).
e. Location and identification of trees.
f. Location sketch and identification of a nearby Mile Marker if run-off is directed toward the Indian River or
Loxahatchee River.
g. Drawing scale (1-inch = 10 feet, recommended) and a north arrow.
STEP TWO — SITE PLAN
Prepare a stormwater site plan showing the proposed improvements, utilities, landscaping, and site grading. The
stormwater site plan, which must meet the guidelines described later in this Guideline, should be prepared at a
recommended scale of 1 inch = 10 feet and provide the following information:
a. Locations, dimensions, and types of construction materials of the building, roof, patio, screened porch, deck,
shed, pool, and driveway.
b. Proposed site grading showing existing and proposed elevations and/or contours (include proposed first
floor and garage elevations and top of foundation elevation).
c. Proposed drainage directions and areas draining to each retention system. Site grading must drain toward a
retention system. Your run-off must not impact your neighbor's property.
d. Locations, dimensions, and types of materials to be used in landscaping features, such as planters, walks,
privacy walls, fences, trees, and shrubs.
e. A cross-section (elevation view) across the center of the lot showing proposed improvements and site
grading.

AgeQcf4VW n0 to Address Stormwater Management in Your
Stormwater Site Plan
HOW do I address stormwater management in my site plan?
The Village of Tequesta's waterfronts are beautiful and ecologically sensitive to pollutants, many of which are
generated by stormwater runoff. The Village's goals are for sustainable growth and development without
compromising the biodiversity and intrinsic value of our natural resources and while meeting state water -quality
standards. To achieve these objectives, the Village requires your new home or improvement to meet the following
design and construction guidelines:
• Preserve Roadside Swales
1. Maintain the pervious cover of swales.
2. Preserve existing swale elevations.
• Reduce Lot Fill
1. Carefully consider the need to import any fill for the lot.
• Flood Protection
1. Elevate the finished flood floor above the Federal Emergency Management Agency Base Flood Elevation.
• Reduce Impervious Surfaces
Use pervious materials, such as gravel, pervious pavers on sand, native grasses, and wood for the
construction of other site and landscaping improvements. Do not place impervious layers such as roofing
paper or plastic under paved or landscaped areas.
Use pervious concrete or pavers for driveways in accordance with Section 78-693 of the Village Code.
Florida -Friendly Landscaping"' shall be used when required under Section 78-402 of the Village Code and is
encouraged in all instances.
• Conserve Water
Use of cisterns to collect roof runoff and recycle for non -potable water uses is encouraged.
Use native plant materials for landscaping.
• Reduce Direct Discharges to Waterways
1. Use berms to contain runoff onto adjacent waterways.
2. If your lot has an existing bulkhead, lower the adjacent ground to provide a minimum 6-inch difference
between the finished lot and the top of the bulkhead.
• Eliminate Discharges to Adjacent Properties
1. Grade the site to prevent runoff from your lot entering adjacent properties.
• Reduce Discharges to Roadway
1. Use berms to contain runoff from your lot onto adjacent roadways.
2. Use traffic -rated trench drains across driveways to reduce discharges to the roadway. These trench drains
should be drained to an on -site retention area. Trench drains are not needed where the driveway is below
or at the same elevation as the roadway swale.
• Calculate Required Retention Volume Using the Following Steps:
1. Determine square footage of the impervious area on the site that is directly connected to the proposed
retention system (typically this would be an on -site swale). Directly connected would be any area when
stormwater runoff passes over less than 20 feet on pervious area (e.g., grassed or landscaped area) before
entering the on -site retention system. Pervious pavers would not be considered an impervious area.
2. Determine square footage of the impervious area on the site that is unconnected to the proposed retention
system and drains over 20 feet or more of pervious area before entering the retention system. An example
would be an area of the roof that is drained from a downspout but flows over 20 feet of landscaped area
before reaching the on -site swale.
3. Calculate the total effective impervious area by summing the directly connected area with half the
unconnected area.

'S. ZW a1 to Che ratio of the effective impervious area to the property area.
6. Use Table 1 to determine the required retention depth. The effective impervious area to the property area
ratio from Step 5 should be rounded to the nearest ratio in Table 1.
7. Determine the required retention volume (cubic feet) by multiplying the required retention depth in feet
(Step 6) by the property area in square feet (Step 4).

If swale(s) are used, they must meet the following criteria:
• Runoff from the site drain to a swale.
• Swale length is greater than its width.
• Swale side slope is 4:1 (horizontal to vertical) or shallower.
• Swale does not disturb any natural areas.
• Swale is 6 inches or deeper.
• Swales is vegetated. If a swale is not vegetated, then a 6-inch layer of nutrient sorption soil amendment
media formulated to reduce nutrient loading must be installed directly below the swale. Specifications and
published nutrient reduction test results for the media must be provided for Village review at the time of
permitting. Examples of acceptable media are NutriGoneT" (distributed by EcoSense International) and Bold
and Gold° (distributed by Environmental Conservation Solutions).

Ag@nr �rili@iio �es or French drains are used on single-family or duplex lots, they must meet the following
• Minimum of 8 inches of cover.
• Use at least a 4-inch or greater perforated pipe. A prefabricated shallow vault or drainage well may be used.
• Inlets to exfiltration system must include a fabric filter.
• Exfiltration system are not within 10 feet of a building.
• Exfiltration systems are not installed under driveways or other areas that may receive frequent vehicular
traffic, unless designed by a Florida -registered and -licensed professional engineer.
• Bottom of exfiltration system is more than 12 inches above the wet -season water table. The wet -season
water table can be determined using the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Web Soil Survey
(https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov), SoilWeb app available on Android or iPhone devices, or
determined by an appropriate Florida -registered and -licensed professional.
• Volume of an exfiltration trench in cubic feet can be approximated as: V = L x W x (D — 0.96) x 0.4, where
L = length in feet, W = average trench width, and D = average trench depth in feet.
• A typical cross section of an exfiltration trench is shown below.

AgerfdAllOW011110 for Expansion of Existing Homes
WHAT if 1 just want to expand my home?
Any impervious area expansion of existing lot coverage —roofs, decks, patios, pools, and pavements — must provide
for the retention of 2.5 inches of runoff from the expansion area. Typically, this retention requirement can be met by
constructing a shallow Swale along the expansion area. However, other approaches to retaining stormwater on the
site will be considered. The following table shows the proportional stormwater retention storage required for every
25 square feet of new impervious area:
Provisions for swales must be shown on the site plans submitted with your permit application. Remember, you
should still follow the steps outlined in this Guideline, but you do not need to meet all design and construction
criteria required for new homes.
