Terms and Required Data Points
The flow monitoring period for any particular project must record flow data during critical low as well as peak wet weather flow events. Data collected during these flow periods are used to estimate the four flow conditions that are critical to the design and operation of wastewater treatment plants:
*<u>'''The average dry weather flow</u> ''' is the daily average flow when the ground water is at or near normal, and a runoff condition is not occurring.*<u>'''Average wet weather or peak month flow</u> ''' is the daily average flow for the wettest 30 consecutive days for mechanical plants or for the wettest 180 consecutive days for controlled discharge pond systems. The 180 consecutive days for pond systems should be based on either the storage period from approximately November 15 through May 15 or the storage period from approximately May 15 through November 15.*<u>'''The peak hourly wet weather flow</u> ''' is the peak flow during the peak hour of the day at a time when the ground water is high and a five-year one-hour storm event is occurring. To determine this five-year one-hour storm event for the specific project, please refer to the local weather service in your area.*<u>'''The peak instantaneous wet weather flow</u> ''' is the peak instantaneous flow during the day at a time when the ground water is high and a twenty-five year one-hour storm event is occurring.
