Chapter 2 Roof Downspout Controls
2.1 Description This section presents the criteria for design and
implementation of roof downspout controls. Roof downspout controls
are simple pre-engineered designs for infiltrating and/or
dispersing runoff from roof areas for the purposes of increasing
opportunities for groundwater recharge and reduction of runoff
volumes from new development or redevelopment. This chapter may
also be applicable for onsite management of other impervious
surfaces, as allowed by Environmental Services.
This chapter provides guidance for roof downspout controls for
meeting the intent of Minimum Requirement #5, Onsite Stormwater
Management. It may be possible to use this guidance for meeting the
intent of Minimum Requirement #7 as well. Environmental Services
may require additional soils or site information for larger
projects when using the guidance in this chapter.
Roof downspout controls are used in conjunction with, and in
addition to, any additional flow control facilities that may be
necessary to mitigate stormwater impacts from the overall
development. Implementation of roof downspout controls may reduce
the total effective impervious area and result in less runoff from
these surfaces. Flow credits for implementing infiltration and
dispersion for controls are available as follows:
• If all the roof runoff is infiltrated according to the
requirements of this section, the roof area may be discounted from
the total project area used for determining flow control thresholds
and sizing stormwater facilities.
• If roof runoff is dispersed according to the requirements of this
section on lots greater than 22,000 square feet and the vegetative
flow path1 is 50 feet or longer through undisturbed native
landscape or lawn/landscape area that meets BMP L613, the roof area
may be modeled as grassed surface.
Additional information on flow credits is available in Volume 6,
Chapter 2.
NOTE: Flow credits only apply to flow control thresholds. Flow
credits do not apply to water quality thresholds.
2.2 Selection of Roof Downspout Controls Per Minimum Requirement
#5, Onsite Stormwater Management, all projects shall employ roof
downspout controls to infiltrate, disperse and retain stormwater
onsite to the maximum extent practicable. The applicant is required
to control downspouts in the following order of preference:
• Rain gardens (Section 2.4)
• Downspout infiltration systems (Section 2.6)
• Downspout dispersion systems (Section 2.7) - only allowed if it
can be demonstrated that infiltration is not feasible.
• Collect and convey to the City system (Section 2.8) - only
allowed if it can be demonstrated that infiltration and dispersion
are not feasible.
1.Vegetative flow path is measured from the downspout or dispersion
system discharge point to the downstream property line, stream,
wetland, or other impervious surface.
City of Tacoma 2012 SWMM
Chapter 2 3- 7 Volume 3
Drywells are generally prohibited within the City of Tacoma.
Contact Environmental Services if a drywell is proposed.
2.3 Roof Downspout Infiltration Setbacks and Site Controls Setback
requirements are generally required by the City, uniform building
code requirements, the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department, or
other state regulation. Where a conflict between setbacks occurs,
the City shall require compliance with the most stringent of the
setback requirements from the various codes/regulations. The
following are the minimum setbacks required per this manual.
• At least 100 feet from drinking water wells and springs used for
public water supplies. Infiltration facilities upgradient of
drinking water wells and within 1, 5 and 10-year time of travel
zones must comply with the Health Department requirements
(Washington Wellhead Protection Program, DOH, Publication
#331-018).
• At least 10 feet from any building structure and at least 5 feet
from any other structure or property line unless approved in
writing by Environmental Services.
• Rain gardens designed for infiltration shall not be built on
slopes steeper than 20%. A geotechnical analysis and report shall
be required on slopes over 15% or if located within 200 feet of the
top of steep slopes (40% or greater) or a landslide hazard area.
More stringent setbacks may be required based upon Tacoma Municipal
Code.
• At least 10 feet from septic tank and septic drainfields.
Additional setbacks from DOH Publication #333-117, “Onsite Sewage
Systems”, Chapter 246-272A WAC may apply. Shall not be located
upstream of residential septic systems unless topography or a
hydrology analysis clearly indicates that subsurface flows will not
impact the drainfield.
• Environmental Services may require additional setbacks or
analysis for infiltration facilities proposed to be sited within
the influence of known contaminated sites or abandoned
landfills.
2.4 Procedure for Evaluating Feasibility of Downspout
Infiltration
Downspout infiltration is considered feasible if a rain garden or
infiltration trench designed to meet the minimum design criteria
specified in Section 2.5 or 2.6 can fit within the proposed project
site and meet the setback site constraint requirements described in
Section 2.3.
To determine if downspout infiltration is feasible, a site-specific
soils report may be required. To determine if a soils report is
required, evaluate if the minimum rain garden size from Table 3 - 4
or the minimum trench length from Table 3 - 5 can fit on the
project site while maintaining the design criteria of Section 2.5.2
or Section 2.6.1.1. If the rain garden or infiltration trench can
fit on the site and maintain the design criteria, a site-specific
soils report is required.
For single lots the soils report must, at a minimum:
• Be prepared by a professional soils scientist certified by the
Soil Science Society of America (or an equivalent national
program), a locally licensed onsite sewage designer, other
suitably-trained professional engineer, geologist, hydrogeologist,
or engineering geologist registered in the State of Washington, or
persons working under the supervision of one of the soils
professionals listed here;
• Contain at least one soils log a minimum of 4 feet deep (from
proposed grade) taken at the location of the proposed infiltration
system;
2012 SWMM City of Tacoma
Volume 3 3- 8 Chapter 2
• Identify the SCS series of the soil and the USDA textural class
of the soil horizon through the depth of the log;
• Note any evidence of high groundwater level, such as mottling;
and
• Note the depth to groundwater.
The design of the rain garden or infiltration trench shall be based
upon the soil located at the proposed bottom of the rain garden or
infiltration facility. If multiple soils logs are conducted, the
least infiltrative soil found at the proposed bottom of the
infiltration facility shall be used for design.
NOTE: On sites where soils are insufficient for infiltration based
on the soils report and available land to construct facilities and
meet setback requirements, a downspot dispersion system per Section
2.7 may be feasible in lieu of infiltration.
2.5 Roof Downspout Rain Gardens
2.5.1 Purpose and Definition Bioretention areas are shallow
stormwater retention facilities designed to mimic forested systems
by controlling stormwater through detention, infiltration, and
evapotranspiration.
2.5.2 Design Criteria 2.5.2.1 Groundwater Separation A minimum of
18 inches of separation is required between the lowest elevation of
the bioretention soil or any underlying gravel infiltration layer
and the seasonal high groundwater elevation or other impermeable
layer.
2.5.2.2 Flow Entrance/Presetting • Flow velocity entering the
facility shall be less than 1 ft/sec for the 100-year,
24-hour
storm event. If 1 ft/sec cannot be obtained, Environmental Services
may approve the discharge with the addition of a designed flow
dispersion or energy dissipation device.
• Use one of the following types of flow entrances (other
alternatives may be considered on a case-by-case basis):
Dispersed, low velocity flow across a grade or landscape area. A
minimum 2-inch grade change between the edge of the contributing
area and flow entrance is required.
Pipe flow entrance. The inlet pipe invert elevation shall be higher
than the overflow elevation. Place rock or other erosion protection
material at the facility entrance to dissipate energy and/or
provide flow dispersion.
• Environmental Services may require flow dispersion for rain
gardens depending upon type of inlet design and size of the
facility.
• Do not place plants directly in the entrance flow path as they
can restrict or concentrate flows.
• Install flow diversion and erosion control measures to protect
the bioretention area from sedimentation until the upstream area is
stabilized.
City of Tacoma 2012 SWMM
Chapter 2 3- 9 Volume 3
• Based upon project site constraints, Environmental Services may
require a presettling facility.
2.5.2.3 Cell Ponding Area • The ponding depth shall be 12
inches.
• The surface pool drawdown time shall be less than 24 hours. If
the rain garden is sized per Table 3 - 4, this requirement is
met.
• Bioretention sizing is based on bottom area. Once bottom area is
determined, top area shall be based upon side slopes and total
depth of facility.
• The minimum freeboard measured from the maximum ponding water
surface elevation to the top of the facility shall be 2” for
drainage areas less than 1,000 square feet and 6” for drainage
areas 1,000 square feet or greater.
• If berming is used to achieve the minimum top elevation, maximum
slope on berm shall be 3H:1V, and minimum top width of design berm
shall be 1 foot. Soil for berming shall be imported bioretention
soil or amended native soil compacted to a minimum of 90% dry
density.
2.5.2.4 Overflow • Unless designed for full infiltration of the
entire runoff volume, bioretention systems must
include an overflow. Rain gardens sized using Table 3 - 4 are
designed for full infiltration and are not required to have an
overflow.
• An emergency overflow pathway shall be provided for all
facilities to ensure that all potential overflows are directed into
the downstream conveyance system or the public right of way.
2.5.2.5 Bioretention Soil Mix The bioretention soil mix (BSM)
shall:
• Have a 60% aggregate component as represented in Table 3 - 2
below and a 40% compost component as represented in Table 3 - 3
below.

• Minimum depth of bioretention soil mix must be 18 inches.
• Contact Environmental Services for assistance in verifying
bioretention soil mix suitability.
2.5.2.6 Planting • Plants must be tolerant of summer drought,
ponding fluctuations, and saturated soil
conditions.
• Consider rooting depth when choosing plants. Roots must not
damage underground infrastructure.
• Consider adjacent plant communities and avoid potential invasive
species.
• Consider aesthetics, rain gardens should blend into surrounding
landscapes.
• “Low Impact Development: Technical Guidance Manual for Puget
Sound” is a good tool for selecting proper bioretention
plants.
Chapter 2 3- 11 Volume 3
• Submit a planting plan showing the type, location and size of
each plant.
• Irrigation may be required until plants are fully established and
in the summer months.
2.5.2.7 Mulch Layer Bioretention facilities should be designed with
a mulch layer. Properly selected mulch material reduces weed
establishment, regulates soil temperatures and moisture, and adds
organic matter to the soil.
• Mulch should be free of weed seeds, soil, roots, and other
material that is not trunk or branch wood and bark. Mulch shall not
include grass clippings, mineral aggregate or pure bark.
• Mulch shall be:
Compost in the bottom of the facilities, depth 3 inches
Wood chip mulch composed of shredded or chipped hardwood or
softwood on side slopes, depth 4 inches.
• A dense groundcover can be used as an alternative to mulch
although mulch shall be required until the dense groundcover is
established.
2.5.3 Sizing Table 3 - 4 shall be used for sizing facilities
managing roof runoff to meet Minimum Requirement #5, Onsite
Stormwater Management only. See Volume 6, BMP L630 for sizing
facilities for projects that must comply with Minimum Requirement
#6, Runoff Treatment and/or Minimum Requirement #7, Flow
Control.
Table 3 - 4 gives the square footage of the bottom of the rain
garden per 1000 square feet of roof area.

For sites with soils other than given in Table 3 - 4 or sites
proposing an underdrain, an engineered design will be required.
Refer to Volume 6, BMP L630 for sizing guidance.
2.5.3.1 Flow Credit If roof runoff is infiltrated according to the
requirements of this section, the roof area may be deducted from
the project area used for determining flow control thresholds and
sizing stormwater facilities for flow control only. The deduction
cannot be applied to pollutant- generating surfaces that require
water quality treatment. If the thresholds for water quality
treatment are met, water quality is required. A Stormwater Site
Plan and Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan are
still required.
2012 SWMM City of Tacoma
Volume 3 3- 12 Chapter 2
2.5.4 General Construction Criteria • Do not install or excavate
during soil saturation periods.
• Excavation and soil placement should be done from equipment
operating adjacent to the facility – no heavy equipment should be
operated in the facility if possible.
• If equipment must be operated within the facility, use
lightweight, low ground pressure equipment and scarify the base to
reduce compaction upon completion.
• Do not use fully excavated bioretention facilities for erosion
and sedimentation control during construction;
Consider partial excavation of bioretention cells prior to
construction (to within 12 inches above finished bottom grade) for
use as temporary stormwater detention, if necessary.
• Clogged soil and silt shall be removed during excavation to
finished bottom grade prior to installing bioretention cell
profile.
• Scarify sides and bottom to roughen where heavy equipment may
have compacted soil.
• Ensure the bioretention facility is protected from erosion and
sedimentation until all contributory areas are fully
stabilized.
• If sedimentation occurs within the bioretention facility,
excavate the area a minimum of 12 inches below final grade to
remove sediment.
2.5.5 Maintenance Criteria Per Minimum Requirement #10, an
operation and maintenance plan shall be prepared for all stormwater
management facilities. See Volume 1, Appendix D, Maintenance
Checklist #22 for specific maintenance requirements for rain
gardens. Maintenance shall be a basic consideration in design and
cost-determination of the stormwater management facility.
Any standing water removed during the maintenance operation must be
disposed of in a City approved manner. See the dewatering
requirements in Volume 4 of this manual. Pretreatment may be
necessary. Solids must be disposed of in accordance with state and
local waste regulations.
Facilities shall be constructed such that the facility can be
easily inspected by one person. This may require the construction
of additional inspection ports or access manholes.
2.6 Downspout Infiltration Systems Downspout infiltration systems
are trenches designed for flow control and/or complying with
Minimum Requirement #5 and are intended only for use in
infiltrating runoff from roof downspout drains. They are not
designed to directly infiltrate runoff from pollutant-generating
impervious surfaces. Volume 5, Chapter 5 contains a discussion of
infiltration trenches for water quality treatment.
2.6.1 Flow Credit for Roof Downspout Infiltration If roof runoff is
infiltrated according to the requirements of this section, the roof
area may be discounted from the project area used for determining
flow control thresholds and sizing flow control facilities. The
deduction cannot be applied to pollutant-generating surfaces. If
the thresholds for water quality treatment are met, water quality
treatment is required. A Stormwater Site Plan and Construction
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan are still required.

2.6.1.1 Design Criteria for Infiltration Trenches Figure 3 - 1
shows a typical downspout infiltration trench system, and Figure 3
- 2 presents an alternative infiltration trench system for sites
with coarse sand and cobble soils. Applicants may use either of
these designs in conjunction with the soils table below or may
model the site separately. Modeling must be conducted by a licensed
engineer in the State of Washington.
General
1. The following minimum lengths (in linear feet [LF]) per 1,000
square feet of roof area based on soil type may be used for sizing
downspout infiltration trenches. For soil types other than those
presented in Table 3 - 5, additional geotechnical information
and/or engineering analysis may be required by Environmental
Services.
Table 3 - 5: Downspout Infiltration Length for USDA Soil Type
USDA Soil Type Trench Length (linear feet)
Coarser 20
Sand 85
Silt Loam 270
2. Maximum length of trench must not exceed 100 feet from the inlet
sump.
3. Minimum spacing between trenches shall be 4 feet measured from
the edge of trench.
4. Non-woven geotextile fabric shall be placed around the walls,
bottom and top of the trench aggregate. A 6-inch minimum layer of
sand may be used as a filter media at the bottom of the trench
instead of the geotextile. Volume 5, Appendix C contains
specifications for geotextile fabric.
5. A minimum of three feet of separation is required from the
proposed final grade to the seasonal high groundwater table.
6. A minimum of 1 foot of separation is required from the bottom of
the infiltration trench to the seasonal high groundwater
table.
7. Infiltration trenches may be placed in fill material if the fill
is placed and compacted under the direct supervision of a
geotechnical engineer or professional civil engineer with
geotechnical expertise, and if the measured infiltration rate is at
least 8 inches per hour. Trench length in fill must be 60 linear
feet per 1,000 square feet of roof area. Infiltration rates can be
tested using the methods described in Section 6.4.3.
8. Trenches may be located under pavement if a small yard drain or
catch basin with grate cover is placed at the end of the trench
pipe such that overflow would occur out of the catch basin at an
elevation at least one foot below that of the pavement, and in a
location which can accommodate the overflow without creating a
significant adverse impact to downhill properties or drainage
systems. This is intended to prevent saturation of the pavement in
the event of system failure.

Volume 3 3- 14 Chapter 2
2.6.1.2 Maintenance Criteria Per Minimum Requirement #10, an
operation and maintenance plan shall be prepared for all stormwater
management facilities. See Volume 1, Appendix D, Maintenance
Checklist #3 for specific maintenance requirements for infiltration
trenches. Maintenance shall be a basic consideration in design and
cost-determination of the stormwater management facility.
Any standing water removed during the maintenance operation must be
disposed of in a City approved manner. See the dewatering
requirements in Volume 4 of this manual. Pretreatment may be
necessary. Solids must be disposed of in accordance with state and
local waste regulations.
Facilities shall be constructed such that the facility can be
easily inspected by one person. This may require the construction
of additional inspection ports or access manholes.

2.7 Downspout Dispersion Systems Downspout dispersion systems are
splash blocks or dispersion facilities that spread roof runoff over
vegetated pervious areas. Dispersion attenuates peak flows by
slowing entry of the runoff into the conveyance system, allowing
for some infiltration, and providing some water quality
benefits.
City of Tacoma 2012 SWMM
Chapter 2 3- 19 Volume 3
2.7.1 Application Downspout dispersion may be used on all sites
that cannot infiltrate roof runoff and that meet the feasibility
and setback requirements provided in the general design criteria
below.
2.7.2 Flow Credit for Roof Downspout Dispersion If roof runoff is
dispersed according to the requirements of this section, and the
vegetative flow
path1 of the roof runoff is 25 feet or greater through undisturbed
native landscape or lawn/ landscape area that meets BMP L613, the
roof area may be modeled as a grassed surface for determining
thresholds and sizing flow control devices. The deduction cannot be
applied to pollutant-generating surfaces. If the thresholds for
water quality treatment are met, water quality treatment is
required.
2.7.3 General Design Criteria • No erosion or flooding of
downstream properties shall result.
• Downspout dispersion trenches designed as shown in Figure 3 - 3
or Figure 3 - 4 should be used for all downspout dispersion
applications except where splash blocks are allowed.
• Perforated stub-out connections shall not be used.
• For sites with septic systems, the discharge point of all
dispersion systems must be downgradient of the drainfield. This
requirement may be waived if site topography clearly prohibits
flows from intersecting the drainfield.
• For sites with septic systems, the discharge point must be
downslope of the primary and reserve drainfield areas. This
requirement may be waived if site topography clearly prohibits
flows from intersecting the drainfield or where site conditions
(soil permeability, distance between systems, etc) indicate that
this is unnecessary.
• Place all dispersion systems at least 5 feet from any property
line. If necessary, setbacks shall be increased from the minimum 5
feet in order to maintain a 1:1 side slope for future excavation
and maintenance.
• Setback dispersion systems from sensitive areas, steep slopes,
landslide hazard areas, and erosion hazard areas as goverened by
the Tacoma Municipal Code.
• All dispersions systems shall be at least 10 feet from any
structure. If necessary, setbacks shall be increased from the
minimum 10 feet in order to maintain a 1H:1V side slope for future
excavation and maintenance.
• For sites with multiple dispersion systems, a minimum separation
of 10 feet is required between flowpaths. Environmental Services
may require a larger separation based upon site conditions such as
slope, soil type and total contributing area.
• Runoff discharged towards landslide hazard areas must be
evaluated by a geotechnical engineer or a licensed geologist,
hydrogeologist, or engineering geologist. The discharge point shall
not be placed on or above slopes greater than 20% (5H:1V) or above
erosion hazard areas without evaluation by a geotechnical engineer
or qualified geologist and City approval.
1.Vegetative flow path is measured from the downspout or dispersion
system discharge point to the downstream property line, stream,
wetland, or other impervious surface.
2012 SWMM City of Tacoma
Volume 3 3- 20 Chapter 2
Design Criteria for Dispersion Trenches
• Design dispersion trenches as shown in Figure 3 - 3 and Figure 3
- 4.
• A vegetated flowpath of at least 25 feet in length must be
maintained between the outlet of the trench and any property line,
structure, stream, wetland, or impervious surface. A vegetated
flowpath of at least 50 feet in length must be maintained between
the outlet of the trench and any slope, 20% or greater. Sensitive
area buffers may count towards flowpath lengths if approved by the
City of Tacoma.
• Trenches serving up to 700 square feet of roof area may be simple
10-foot-long by 2-foot wide gravel filled trenches as shown in
Figure 3 - 3. For roof areas larger than 700 square feet, a
dispersion trench with notched grade board may be used as approved
by the City. The total length of this design must not exceed 50
feet and must provide at least 10 feet of trench per 700 square
feet of roof area.
Design Criteria for Splashblocks
A typical downspout splashblock is shown in Figure 3 - 5. In
general, if the ground is sloped away from the foundation and there
is adequate vegetation and area for effective dispersion,
splashblocks will adequately disperse storm runoff. If the ground
is fairly level, if the structure includes a basement, or if
foundation drains are proposed, splashblocks with downspout
extensions may be a better choice because the discharge point is
moved away from the foundation. Downspout extensions can include
piping to a splashblock/discharge point a considerable distance
from the downspout, as long as the runoff can travel through a
well- vegetated area as described below.
• A vegetated flow path of at least 50 feet shall be maintained
between the discharge point and any property line, structure, steep
slope, stream, wetland, lake, or other impervious surface.
Sensitive area buffers may count toward flow path lengths.
• Flows shall not be directed onto sidewalks.
• A maximum of 700 square feet of roof area may drain to each
splashblock.
• A splashblock or a pad of crushed rock (2 feet wide by 3 feet
long by 6 inches deep) shall be placed at each downspout discharge
point.

2.8 Collect and Convey Where it can be demonstrated that
infiltration and dispersion are not feasible for roof downspout
controls, it may be allowable to collect and convey to the City
stormwater system. This may be either the curb, if present, or the
actual pipe and structure conveyance system.
Conveyance to the curb will only be allowed if a catch basin is
located within 350 feet downstream of the discharge point. If a
catch basin is not located within 350 feet of the discharge
location, a storm main extension shall be required.
Minimum pipe size for conveyance to the curb shall be 3 inches in
diameter. Where capacity greater than a 3 inch diameter pipe is
required, Environmental Services shall review the proposal and may
require a storm main extension.
NOTE: Environmental Services will only approve on a case-by-case
basis those facilities that would require more than one
through-curb discharge point.
2012 SWMM City of Tacoma
Volume 3 3- 22 Chapter 2
For total roof areas 2,000 to 5,000 sf, roof runoff may be allowed
to be collected and conveyed to either the curb or directly
connected to a structure. The runoff shall not be conveyed over
driveways, sidewalks or other areas reserved for pedestrian
traffic. A detail for the discharge shall be submitted to
Environmental Services for review and approval.
For roof areas between 5,001 sf and 9,999 sf, roof runoff may be
allowed to be collected and conveyed to the curb or stormwater
structure unless Minimum Requirement #7 applies and requires
alternative mitigation. Capacity analysis of the road gutter,
conveyance piping and catch basin leads will be required to ensure
that adequate capacity exists (see Section 9.6). Environmental
Services may require more than one through curb outlet for
discharge to the curb.
For roof areas 10,000 sf and greater, please refer to Minimum
Requirement #7.
