Pond Design Ver.4.99
This spreadsheet assists with designing a wide array of embankment pond structures
with pipe outlets following the procedures found in Chapters 3 and 6 of the NRCS
Engineering Field Handbook. It also incorporates a copy of EFH 2 to allow
you to determine peak flows from your watershed to be used as inputs to your
waterway design. You may also notice that these sheets resemble those found
in WI-Engineering to help in making the transition from DOS to Windows.
You will need to input data regarding the area(s) you are draining to the embankment,
such as drainage area, slope, and soil hydrologic group, to arrive at peak flow rates.
You can print out the peak flow rates, or simply record them manually for input into
the floodrouting portion of the spreadsheet, although the needed values will be
carried forward automatically.
In the pond design portion you will need to enter information such as stage-storage data,
embankment elevations and dimensions, and emergency spillway data. You will then
need to determine one of six principal spillway configurations as well as the standard
you wish to design to. The available pipe configurations (plus weir) available to you are:
Inline Water Level Control Structure (such as agridrain brand)
Stoplog Weir Drop Structure
Pipe Drop Structure
Hooded Inlet
Perforated Riser
By selecting a standard to design from, the required storm design frequency(ies)
and corresponding runoff data from EFH2 will be brought in automatically. The standard
options include:
378, Pond
410, Grade Stabilization Structure
638, Water and Sediment Control Basin
657, Wetland
Outputs include your supporting design documentation for the type of structure
selected.
This spreadsheet was designed by Dennis Biddick and Bruce Olson of the Wisconsin
Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, and Joe Niles of the
Vernon County Land Conservation Department. Version 2.99 was released in Feb. 1999.
EFH 2 (Engineering Field Handbook, Chapter 2)
This spreadsheet page computes peak flow runoff from a watershed using the method
found in Chapter 2 of the Engineering Field Handbook. You may notice that this
sheet resembles the one found in WI-Engineering to help in making the transition
from DOS to Windows.
At the top of the spreadsheet, you should enter the client name, your initials, county
name, and any comments you want. It is important that you enter the appropriate
county name since this information is used by the spreadsheet to access rainfall data.
Page 15
Help
You must first determine the composite runoff curve number for the area
by clicking on the RCN Data button and then entering areas, in acres, for each of the
land uses and hydrologic soil types represented in the drainage area. Once you
have filled in the appropriate entries, click on the Finished button at the bottom and
you will be returned to the runoff table area. If you need help on determining the
correct hydrologic soil type, there is a pop-up window with the soil name and hydrologic
type listed. This table is for information only. After finishing filling in the runoff curve
table with the appropriate areas and clicking on the Finished button, you will notice
that the drainage area and the runoff curve number will be automatically filled in
for you form the information given in the RCN table. Optionally, you can enter the area
and RCN number manually if you already know them. If you do this, however, be
certain not to save this worksheet over your master copy, or you will lose some
equations.
To complete the runoff portion, you must enter the length of your watershed (longest
flow path), in feet, and the watershed slope, in percent. The bottom line of the table
gives you the peak flow rates, in cubic feet per second, for each of the design storms.
At this point you can print out this sheet, as well as the RCN Data sheet if you wish.
Time of Concentration for TR55 Graphical Method
To calculate the time of concentration, you will need to click on the Go To Tc Table
Button. This will take you to a page for inputting values for sheet flow, shallow
concentrated flow, and open channel flows. You will need to enter the length, slope,
and surface codes for sheet and shallow concentrated flows. Lengths for sheet flow
are usualy limited to 300'. For open channel flow, you will need to enter the length
and slope of the channel, and also the mannings' "N" value, area, and wetted
perimeter. When you are finished with these inputs, click on the FINISHED button
to return to the runoff computation page. The input should be complete now.
The bottom line of the table gives you the peak flow rates, in cubic feet per second,
for each of the design storms.
Stage Storage
This area of the page is for input of the stage storage inforamation of the pond. There
are two methods for inputting the data. One is to directly fill in the shaded areas of the
table with elevations and surface areas in acres squared into the appropriate columns.
The other is to click on the enter stage storage data button. This will bring in a pop-up
window for inputting the elevations and surface areas in square feet. You will need to
TAB between input cells. In either case, if there is unwanted data in the table, you
can press the clear stage-storage table button and all data will be erased from the
shaded cells. Once this info is OK, press the go to floodroute button or simply scroll
down to the next section. You can always go back and edit any of the shaded cells
by selecting that cell and retyping.
Floodrouting
This section is the heart of the spreadsheet. In this section you will be setting the elevations,
selecting the type and size of your spillways, and selecting a design standard. Manual
iterations will need to be performed to come up with a final solution.

PROPOSED TOP OF EMBANKMENT ELEVATION = This program assumes a top-down
calculation of the emergency spillway crest.
PROPOSED FREEBOARD = The minimum allowable is usually assigned by the standard.
EMERGENCY SPILLWAY WIDTH = Enter a proposed spillway width for calculating a flow.
Hp OF THE EMERGENCY SPILLWAY = This entry along with the bottom width, will calculate
a flow through your vegetated spillway. The default spillway is a type 2, single channel
spillway based on the tables in Chapter 11 of the EFH on pages 11-WI-1 thru 15.
The type or number of spillways can be changed by editing the shaded boxes under
the emergency selection. The spillway elevation and Qout are calculated.
EMERGENCY SPILLWAY ELEVATION = This is calculated for you. If either the Spillway width or
Hp are entered as 0 (zero), the title changes to PROPOSED STORM ELEVATION =
CALCULATED Qout OF EMERGENCY SPILLWAY = Calculated for you.
PERMANENT POOL ELEVATION = If you will have permanent ponding, this elevation will generally
be the invert of your inlet pipe or top of riser or stoplogs. If you are planning a dry pool,
such as with a WASCoB, then this entry will be the ground elevation in the ponding
area.
AVAILABLE SEDIMENT STORAGE = This is the calculated available storage below the
permanent pool elevation for sediment accumulation, in acre-feet. This number comes
from info in the stage storage table.
LOWEST ELEVATION OF DITCH @ CENTERLINE OF EMBANKMENT = This is used only for
the calculation of effective height.
ELEVATION OF TOE = and EMBANKMENT TOP WIDTH = These two inputs are necessary and
are used for calculating pipe lengths. The toe elevation is at the intersection of the
backslope and existing ground.
DRAINAGE AREA IN ACRES = This is carried forward from the EFH2 page.
ENTER "1"=Pond,"2"=Grade Stab,"3"=WASCoB,"4"=Wetland : Enter a number only here. This
will allow the program to select the correct storm design frequency(ies) from the
standard you pick.
If you select wetland design there will be some extra options, see section below.
You will now need to pick a principle spillway type for calculating the Qout. There are five pipe
structures to choose from. Click on the corresponding button to go to the design sheet for the
type of your choice. In each you will be prompted for further information. By clicking on one of the
pipe structure buttons, the corresponding Qout will be carried forward to the floodrouting procedure.
This should conclude your first iteration of the design. You will get a calculated emergency crest,
Hp, storm elevation and top of embankment. Don't worry if these numbers don't match your
proposed numbers entered earlier. Next you will need to adjust one or more of your proposed
values.
First you need to understand where a couple of these calculated items come from. The calculated
emergency crest comes from the elevation required to store the needed runoff from your storm
in the left column, after taking into consideration the outflow through your pipe structure.
The calculated Hp is the difference in elevation between your emergency crest and the elevation
required to floodroute the storm in the right column, taking into consideration the outflow through
the emergency and the principal spillways. The calculated storm elevation is simply gotten by
adding the previous two numbers together. When you add on the freeboard, you get the calculated
top of embankment.
The calculated Emergency Crest can be adjusted up or down by changing any of the following:
proposed top of embankment, Hp or the emergency spillway width, or by changing the size or
Page 17
Help
elevation of your principle spillway. Normally you will want to adjust the proposed top of
embankment until the emergency crests match.
The calculated Hp is most easily adjusted by changing the emergency spillway width, although
it can accomplished by changing a variety of factors. When finished, all calculated and proposed
items should match closely.
The following is a list of some of the errors you may encounter and possible solutions to each.
NEGATIVE CALCULATED Hp: Either there is too much flow through your emergency spillway
or there is too little through the pipe spillway.
CALCULATED Hp <>PROPOSED Hp: Adjust emergency spillway bottom width
#VALUE! = CALCULATED EMERGENCY CREST: Not enough available storage in stage storage
table.
#DIV/0! = CALCULATED EMERGENCY CREST and PRINCIPLE COLUMN: Permanent pool
elevation = Emergency spillway crest
#DIV/0! = CALCULATED Hp and EMERGENCY COLUMN: Permanent pool elevation =
Emergency spillway crest + Hp
#NUM! = PRINCIPLE or EMERGENCY COLUMN: Not enough storage or
permanent pool > Emergency crest (Principle column)
permanent pool >Emergency +Hp (Both columns)
#N/A = Emergency crest: Qout > Qin
WETLAND DESIGN
If you are designing according to the 657 standard, there will be a couple of extra options.
First, you will be able to floodroute using a pipe only option, vegetated spillway only
option, or both. Once you select the number 4, for the wetland design, you will be
prompted to fill in your choice, 1 for pipe only, or 2 if using vegetated spillway.
If using the pipe only option, be sure to go back up and fill in the appropriate areas
for the emergency details with zeroes. If you choose to use a vegetated spillway
or a combination pipe/vegetated, the principle column will be blanked out and you will
floodroute for the appropriate design storm frequency.
PIPE STRUCTURES
There are five available pipe structures for using as your principle spillway. Each has certain
numbers carried forward from the floodrouting page. The other inputs are independent of
each other page. You can calculate a flow for each of the structure types, but only one can
be used in your final design. The selected type should show up in red bold lettering
under the calculated emergency crest elevation. The Qout will be forwarded to the peak
outflow under the floodrouting comps. A second Qout will be calculated for the increased
water depth of flow through the emergency spillway, and then added to the calculated flow
through the emergency spillway the peak outflow in the right column.
Inline Water Level Control Structure
This type of structure is most commonly thought of as a manufactured type of product, such
as the Agridrain and Dos-Ir brands. Typically, the water comes in an inlet pipe and flows up and
over a stoplog weir, which is the control for the ponded water elevation. A variation of this type
Page 18

has an open top on the riser which allows water to flow in over the top during larger storms.
Inputs include:
TOP OF EMBANKMENT and EMERGENCY CREST: These are carried forward for reference.
WATER ELEVATION : This is brought forward as the same elevation as the emergency crest.
FRONT and BACK SLOPE: These are used to calculate the pipe length.
DIAMETER or WIDTH OF RISER: Inside dimension, refer to drawing.
LENGTH OF RISER: If square or rectangular, this dimension needs to input, if round riser
this should be 0 (zero).
LENGTH OF STOPLOG: This is the actual flow width of the stoplog. Typically there is a flange
on the sides that the stoplog rests in.
****If using a DOS-IR or AgriDrain brand of riser, click on the button and a pop-up window will
****appear. Enter the inlet/outlet pipe size and the previous three dimensions will be entered
****for you. If using something different, click on the other button and input manually.
TOP OF RISER: The default value is the top of embankment. This can be overwritten.
TOP OF STOPLOG: The value brought forward is the permanent pool elevation.
BOTTOM OF RISER: This value will also be used as the invert of the outlet pipe for calculating
the slope of the outlet pipe.
INLET AND OUTLET PIPE DIAMETER: This value will be filled in automatically if using a
manufactured product.
TYPE OF PIPE: Enter the number corresponding to the type of pipe you plan to use from the
chart under pipe type, cells A31:B33. The Manning's n-value will come from this.
LENGTH OF INLET PIPE: Enter the length of the inlet pipe in feet.
INVERT INLET ELEVATION: This is for reference only on inlet pipe.
INVERT OUTLET PIPE: This needed to calculate outlet pipe length.
LENGTH OF OUTLET PIPE: This is calculated from previous inputs. Used for determining outlet
pipe flow and number of antiseep collars needed.
IS THERE TAILWATER: Enter 2 if no tailwater condition, Enter 1 if tailwater condition will exist.
If you have a tailwater condition, a prompt will come up for the elevation of the tailwater.
SIZE OF ANTISEEP COLLAR: If you want the program to calculate the number of antiseep
collars required, enter the size in feet for the pipe size. The number calculated is
based on an increased flow length of the outlet pipe of 15%.

Hooded Inlet Structure
Hooded inlet structures require a minimum head over the top of the pipe in order for them to
achieve full flow through the pipe. This head varies with the diameter of pipe being used. You
will be able to tell if you have reached this head if the output says pipe control. If you get
something different, you will need to lower the pipe, use a smaller pipe, or raise the emergency.

Help
This page helps you with sizing underground tile lines. It allows you to select one
inlet and up to 5 tile reaches, and has sections for both non-pressure and pressurized
flow conditions. It also helps you with selecting an appropriate surface inlet.
Inputs include: inlet and station IDs (optional), water surface elevation, ground eleva-
tion, orifice elevation, orifice size, type of tile, tile slope, and tile diameter. For
pressure flow conditions you also need to input the design headwater and tailwater eleva-
tions at the inlet and outlet of the tile.
Outputs include: orifice flow rates, surface inlet capacities, Manning's "n" for each
tile reach, and the flow capacity of each tile. For pressure flow conditions the program
provides both the flow rate and velocity in each tile reach.
This spreadsheet is to be used for round conduits only, but it can accommodate both
round and rectangular orifices.
INLET ID: You can leave the 1provided, or override it with whatever designation you prefer.
STATION: Enter station number here (optional).
WATER EL: Enter the design water surface elevation above the orifice. This is carried
forward from the floodrouting page as the emergency spillway crest.
GROUND EL: Enter the ground elevation at the location of the orifice.
ORIFICE EL: Enter the elevation of the orifice center line. If this is the same as the
ground elevation above, the program assumes that there is no riser section.
ORIF DIA OR L: Enter the orifice diameter, in inches, for round openings, or the orifice
length, in inches, for rectangular ones.
ORIFICE WIDTH: Enter the orifice width, in inches, for rectangular openings only. Leave
blank for round openings.
FLOW: The program calculates the design flow rate, in cubic feet per second, based on the
inputs you provided above.
SURFACE INLET RESTRICTIONS
In this section, the spreadsheet provides maximum flow rates, in cubic feet per second,
for 9 different inlets, a WI-400 with round openings, a WI-400 with slotted openings,
a WI-409 6" Hickenbottom, and 6 other Hickenbottom varieties.
TILE REACH DESIGNS
(This section is for reference only. It has no impact on the floodrouting of the structure.)
In this section you enter the following design values for the tile(s) to size each reach:
TILE REACH ID: You can leave the 1 through 5 designations provided, or override them with
whatever designation you prefer.
FROM STATION: Enter the beginning station number from above (optional).
TO STATION: Enter the ending station number from above (optional).
SLOPE: Enter the slope of tile line, in percent (1%=1, not 0.01).
TILE DIAMETER: Pick a likely size, in inches, for your first trial. After you fill in the
remaining values, you will probably need to adjust this to fine-tune your design.
TILE TYPE: Enter a value from 1 to 6 based on the type of tile you want to use, as indi-
cated by the table in Cells I36:J38.
Manning's "n": The program selects this for you based on the type of tile you pick, and in
the case of polyethylene tubing, the size as well.

Q, REQUIRED: Enter the amount of flow which this tile reach must carry based on the flow
data in Row 17.
Q, AVAILABLE: The program calculates the maximum flow which the tile can carry under
the design conditions, in cubic feet per second.
If too small of a tile has been selected for any one of the five reaches, an error will
appear in Row 39. Go back and increase the tile diameter, or change slope or tile type
if possible, until the reach has enough capacity.
IF PRESSURE FLOW, FILL IN WATER ELEVATIONS BELOW
This section is only used when the tile outlet is submerged under design conditions.
HEADWATER EL: Enter the water surface elevation above the tile inlet, in feet.
TAILWATER EL: Enter the water surface elevation above the tile outlet, in feet.
Q, PRESSURE: The program calculates the flow, in cubic feet per second, for this reach
under the pressurized condition.
VELOCITY: The program calculates the flow velocity, in feet per second, through each reach.
Weir Structure
WEIR CREST ELEVATION: The value brought forward is the permanent pool elevation.
WEIR LENGTH:
WEIR COEFFICIENT: The default is 3.1, which is the typical for a braod-crested weir. Values could
range up to 3.33 for a rectangular weir.
Emergency Spillway
This page will two different types of emergency spillway calculations for you. The default
comps will take the input Hp and bottom width, and will compute the flow, in cfs, through
the spillway. You can choose form either of three types of spillways based on Chapter 11
of the NRCS EFH, on pages 11-WI-1 through 15. You can also select to have a spillway
on both ends of the embankment by putting a 2 in the number of spillways.
You can also do a manual calculation of a spillway bottom width by inputting the desired
q, in cfs, and Hp, in feet. This section can be found by scrolling upward from the default area.
Earthfill
This page calculates the estimated volume of earth fill required
to build dikes or dams. It allows you to enter up to 30 profiles along
the centerline of a dike, and can accommodate sloping land, upstream and
downstream berms, and core trenches. It will also account for percent
compaction and settlement.
Inputs for each station are: existing ground elevation, existing ground
slope, design dike elevation, dike top width, upstream and downstream
dike slopes, and stripping depth. Optional inputs are: upstream and
Page 22

downstream berm widths and elevations. If you are using a core trench,
you can override the defaults for trench depth, bottom width, and side
slopes. You can also override percent compaction and settlement.
Outputs are: dike length and total dike fill volume. If your dike has
a core trench, the cut volume and total fill volume (dike plus trench)
are displayed. You can also view a graphic representation of the dike's
cross-section station by station in the lower half of the spreadsheet.
Use a Core Trench?: Enter a 1 in cell D7 if you want to use a core
trench, or a 2 if not. If you are using a core trench, you can
override the values given for depth, bottom width, and side slopes,
or you can accept the defaults given.
Percent Compaction: To compute borrow volume, enter the amount of
compaction in cell D9 which you anticipate based on the soil texture,
soil moisture, and compaction method to be used. A good default
value is 30% for fine grained soils. To figure in-place compacted
earthfill to the neat lines of the design cross section, enter 0. This
is the work item the contractor must perform. (note: 30%=30, not 0.30)
Percent Settlement: The spreadsheet automatically adjusts for settlement
of the dike for you. Enter the percent settlement anticipated based
on the subgrade stability in cell D10. You will later enter design
elevations in the data input section and the program will calculate
constructed elevations based on fill heights and percent settlement.
If you don't want to allow for settlement, enter 0. A good default is 5%.
DATA INPUT SECTION
Enter at least 2 lines, and as many as 30, of the following cross-
section data:
C/L Sta: Station numbers along centerline of dike, in feet. You can
start with any number, but then measure all stations from that point.
Ground Elev: Existing ground elevation before stripping, in feet.
Land Sl. %: Slope of the existing ground NORMAL TO THE CENTERLINE
OF THE DIKE in percent (1%=1, not 0.01).
Top W Feet: Top width of the dike, in feet. This should be a minimum of 6'.
Design Elev.: The neat lines and grades elevation of the dike top after
compaction and settling, in feet.
Const. Elev.: The staked elevations of the dike top to be used for
construction. The program calculates these values based on the design
elevations and projected settlement. You can override these if you wish.
Upst. Sl,:1: Side slope ratio, horizontal to vertical, of the upstream dike.
Dnst. Sl,:1: Side slope ratio, horizontal to vertical, of the downstream dike.
Up Berm Width ft: Width of the upstream berm, in feet. This is optional,
if you don't have an upstream berm, leave this column blank.
Up Berm Dsgn El: Design elevation of the upstream berm, in feet. This is also
optional, and should be left blank if you don't have an upstream berm.
Up Berm Const El: Constructed elevation of the upstream berm, in feet. The
Page 23
Help
program calculates these values based on the design berm elevation and the
projected settlement. You can override these if you wish.
Dn Berm Width ft: Width of the downstream berm, in feet (optional).
Dn Berm Dsgn El: Design elevation of the downstream berm, in feet (optional).
Dn Berm Const El: Constructed elevation of the downstream berm, in feet. The
program calculates these values based on the design berm elevation and the
projected settlement. You can override these if you wish.
Strip Depth ft: Depth to which existing ground is to be stripped prior to
fill placement, in feet.
OUTPUT SECTION
Dike length, in feet, and total dike fill volume, in cubic feet, are
provided in cells F48 and F50 respectively. If your dike has a core
trench, its cut volume will be displayed in cell F52, and total fill
volume (dike plus core trench) will be in cell F54. All fill volumes
are adjusted for the compaction you specified in cell D9.
By entering station numbers in cell F60, you can see a graphic repre-
sentation of the dike's cross-section at that location. The top and berm
elevations shown will be as constructed, unless you have specified zero
settlement in cell D10, in which case the elevations will be as designed.
Note that the sketch is not drawn to scale, but can help you and the
landowner better visualize the proposed project.
