1.0 INTRODUCTION Vector Engineering Services Ltd has been retained to provide civil engineering design and Preliminary Integrated Rainwater Management Plan design on behalf of Bosa BlueSky Properties, located at 1065 Harwood & 1332 Thurlow St (North Tower), in Vancouver, BC. The subject site is located at the North corner of the intersection of Thurlow Street with Harwood Street (see aerial photo in Appendix 1). As a condition of development, the City of Vancouver has requested a Preliminary Integrated Rainwater Management Plan for the site. In response to this requirement, Vector Engineering Services Ltd. was retained to provide analysis of the site drainage and establish a Preliminary Integrated Rainwater management strategy for the proposed new development. The hydrologic calculations and storm modeling of the site are summarized in this report and are hereby submitted to the City for review. 2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS The subject site is approximately 0.1608 hectares in area, consisting of two 2-storey residential buildings. The current ground cover condition at the site is 88% impervious. The site currently slopes toward the south, south-west direction (see Appendix 1 for the preliminary IRMP pre-development plan). 3.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The development plan calls for construction of a 34-storey high-rise residential building with 7 levels of underground parkade and storage. With the proposed development of the site, the total overall impervious site coverage will decrease to 72%. The impervious areas will consist of building roofs, pedestrian rest areas, parkade ramp and hard landscaped areas. The remainder of the site will consist of a variety of landscaped areas, above the parkade roof slab. Permanent intensive green areas with significant soil depths ranging from 450 mm to 1,200 mm are located on the building podium. These areas represent 28% of the total site area. Intensive green roofs will also be provided on the upper tower roofs (see Appendix 4 for landscaping plan). The weighted runoff coefficient for the proposed development was obtained using the following assumed coefficients based on CoV Engineering Design Manual (2018):
• Landscaped areas at 0.18
• Roof areas at 0.85
• Walkways and driveways at 0.88

4.0 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND BMPS To improve the quality of rainwater runoff and improve health of natural water bodies, the City of Vancouver has adopted a City Wide Integrated Rainwater Management Plan and a Rezoning Policy for Sustainable Large Developments. This plan requires all new developments requiring rezoning to incorporate rainwater management measures to control post development runoff rates and to improve the quality of rainwater runoff using Best Management Practices. The rainwater management system for this site has been designed in accordance with the City Wide Integrated Rainwater Management Plan criteria and the Rezoning Policy for Sustainable Large Developments requirements. As per City of Vancouver Rainwater Management Bulletin dated July 2018, we have considered options to reduce stormwater discharge volume, reduce the flow rate of peak runoff, and treat surface runoff to reduce contaminants. The proposed measures shall meet the following targets:
• Capture the first 24mm of rainfall in 24 hours.
• Provide post-development 10-year storm (2100 IDF) runoff release rate of lower or equal rate to the pre-development peak runoff rate for the 10-year 24-hour duration storm (2014 IDF).
• Remove at least 80% of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) by mass from the first 48mm of rainfall over highly polluted areas including driveways and parking, and the first 24mm of all other areas including all walkways, landscaped and roof areas from all levels, before releasing the runoff to the municipal drainage system.
Additional references include the Metro Vancouver Stormwater Source Control Design Guidelines and the Land Development Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Habitat which was developed jointly by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks (M.O.E.). The source controls adopted for this development consist of several measures to be implemented onsite. The source controls are shown on the attached drawing, Preliminary Integrated Rainwater Management Plan and are summarized below.
4.1 Capture 24mm in 24 hours
To reduce the runoff generated from the site, the stormwater system will capture the first 24mm of rainfall from all areas on the site and retain it as much as possible, given site constraints.
______________________________________________________________________________

Rev. 0, March 11, 2021
Remaining volume not retained will be detained, treated for quality and released to the city drainage system. The target for the proposed site is to capture and infiltrate, retain, or treat and detain the first 24mm of rainfall in 24 hours: (24mm x 1608m2) = 38.59m3 of runoff.
4.1.1 Tier 1 Priority Green Infrastructure Practices – Rainwater Harvesting for
Reuse
The primary purpose of rainwater harvesting is to reduce domestic water demand and runoff from impermeable surfaces. Rainwater harvesting involves collecting rainwater and storing it for non-potable uses. The City criteria for using rainwater harvesting is to use the harvested rainwater within a 96-hour period all year round. The use of harvested rainwater for irrigation, non-potable water use, cannot meet this criterion or is very costly at this design stage and therefore the rainwater harvesting source control option has been disregarded.
4.1.2 Tier 2 Priority Green Infrastructure Practices – Retention within Non-
Infiltrating Landscape
Proposed vegetated landscaped areas on all levels will be utilized to retain the required volume of rainfall. Redirection of rainwater surface run-off into the absorbent soil layers will increase the time of concentration and decrease peak storm runoff through evapotranspiration, storage within the soil voids and the holding capacity of the soil particle surface pores. For the purpose of this study, it is assumed that the growing medium has an absorption capacity equal to 20% of the total volume of the soil. The landscaping plan calls for absorbent landscaping areas with soil thickness varying from 450mm in shrub landscaped areas to 1,200mm in treed areas. Finally, any excess moisture in the soil will be collected with a perforated pipe and drained into the mechanical drainage system or overflowed into a drainage facility. Details will be provided at detail design stage.

Roof Level 900 43.41 39.07 20% 7.81
Total 452.28 390.77 78.15
The total soil volume provided is 390.77 m3 which will have a rainfall volume retaining capacity of 78.15 m3. The hard landscaping such as walkways, pedestrian rest areas and other hard landscaping will be graded to drain towards the adjacent soft landscaped areas, which will be provided with an overflow catch basin tied into the site drainage system inside the underground parkade structure.
Rain Gardens & Infiltration Bulges
The primary purpose of the rain garden and infiltration bulges is to capture and filter runoff from adjacent impermeable surfaces. We propose that the existing bulge on Thurlow Street remain.
Green Roof
The proposed tower will have intensive green roof on the upper roof as detailed on the landscaping plan. The overhang and ground plan surfaces will incorporate significant areas of intensive green roofs. The significant volumes of absorbent soil will be placed on the intensive green roof areas which will provide the benefits outlined in section 4.1.2 above.

4.1.3 Tier 3 Priority Green Infrastructure Practices – Mechanical Detention and treatment
Detention tanks collect and store stormwater runoff during a storm event, then release it at controlled rates to the downstream drainage system, thereby attenuating peak discharge rates from the site. The detention tank shall capture the amount of 24mm of rainfall in 24 hours falling over areas that are not graded to drain towards the adjacent soft landscaped areas.
Estimated area = 636.44 m2 Detention volume required = 15.3 m3 Required flow rate = 3.61 L/sec = 0.00361m3/sec
See Min. Detention Hydrograph and Storage Volume diagrams in Appendix 3. Details of the detention and treatment system will be provided at detailed design stage.
4.2 Stormwater Flowrate Reduction to Predevelopment Levels:
Detention volume required to meet the City of Vancouver peak runoff reduction to the ten-year 24-hour (2014 IDF Curve) pre-development level of 0.0289m3/sec is equal to 0.327 m3. However, since a slower flowrate of 0.00361m3/sec is needed to meet the detention requirement, this objective is met with the lower flowrate. The detention facility will be located at the north-east corner of lot, underneath the bike share area (location subject to change). The volume the tank must accommodate will be 15.3m3. The release rate will be controlled by a flow control system situated inside the tank outlet with an appropriately sized orifice. See post-development IRMP drawing in Appendix 2. The details of the detention tank and flow control system will be provided at detailed design stage. See Min. Detention Hydrograph and Storage Volume diagrams in Appendix 3. Details of the detention and treatment system will be provided at detailed design stage.
4.3 Water Quality
According to the City of Vancouver Rainwater Management Bulletin dated July 2018, landscaped planted areas with a minimum soil depth of 450mm are assumed to sufficiently treat runoff resulting from the first 48mm of rainfall over highly contaminated surfaces including driveways, parking and loading areas and the first 24mm of all other areas including walkways and roof. In addition, this plan includes the installation of a treatment system to remove at least 80% of total suspended solids (TSS) by mass from the runoff before releasing the flow into the municipal drainage system (CoV Rainwater Management Bulletin, 2018). The details of the treatment system will be provided at detailed design stage. See Post Development IRMP drawing for a general layout of the system.

5.0 HYDROLOGIC MODEL AND ANALYSIS
The following drainage modeling and analysis was used for design of the Stormwater Management System for this project.
5.1 Rainfall Data
The rainfall data used in the hydrologic analysis was based on the ten-year return period rainfall, as per the City’s Stormwater Management Design Criteria and City of Vancouver Rainwater Management Bulletin dated July 2018. The City of Vancouver IDF curve (2014) rainfall data for pre-development conditions, and IDF curve (2100) rainfall data for post-development conditions were used for the analysis (Appendix 3).
5.2 Existing Runoff
To simulate the ten-year stormwater runoff for the existing condition, the Rational Method was used. An overall runoff coefficient of 0.70 was compiled based on assumed coefficients for various ground covers as provided by CoV Design Guidelines. The time of concentration was assumed to be 5 minutes as indicated in the CoV 2014 IDF. Finally, a 10-year storm was used for the analysis as required by CoV Rainwater Management Bulletin for systems in the downtown core (west of Main Street includes all of the West End peninsula).
Based on the described parameters above, the peak runoff value and volume for the ten-year storm event was calculated to be as follows: Five-year existing peak flow and total rain volume Existing Site Q10yr = 0.0289 m3/sec Total rain volume V10yr = 8.679m3 Allowable Release Rate In accordance with the City Vancouver Integrated Rainwater Management Design Criteria, allowable release rate = Existing Q10yr
Max. Q10yr, prop = 0.0289 m3/sec

Rev. 0, March 11, 2021
A copy of the modeling results for existing pre-development conditions has been attached in Appendix 3. 5.3 Post Development Runoff
The post development stormwater runoff was also analyzed and hydrologic models were computed using the Modified Rational Method. The following parameters were assumed for the analysis, based on the CoV Rainwater Management Bulletin and the CoV Engineering Design Manual:
• Overall Runoff coefficient = 0.66 (weighted average of all types of ground covers)
• The analysis was conducted using a 10-year 2100 IDF curve data
• A Time of Concentration of 5 minutes was assumed, as per the Rainwater Management Bulletin.
Based on the described parameters above, the peak runoff flowrate and volume for the ten-year rainfall event for the City of Vancouver IDF curve (2100) was calculated as follows: Ten-year 24-hour post development peak flow and volume Proposed Site Q10yr = 0.0300 m3/s Total rain volume V10yr = 9.006 m3 A copy of the post-development conditions results has been attached in Appendix 3.
6.0 MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES The absorbent landscaping is a key component of the proposed Stormwater Management Plan for this development. It has been designed as a permanent low-maintenance system requiring regular monitoring and periodic maintenance. Monitoring and maintenance of individual components of the system will consist of the following measures described below: Catchbasins and Oil-Water Separators
• Inspect oil-water separator and all catch basins for debris and sediment accumulation.
• Remove grate/lid.
• Remove debris as found.
• Remove accumulated sediment and oil using truck mounted suction pump equipment with storage tank when sediment reaches ½ of the sump depth.
• Sediment shall be disposed offsite at an approved landfill.
