THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, AWARDED A CONTRACT IN JUNE 1963 FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEM TO SERVE A MAJOR PORTION OF THE CANTONMENT AREA OF FORT CAMPBELL, KENTUCKY. A TOTAL OF 31,000 LINEAL FEET OF PIPE, RANGING IN SIZE FROM 12- TO 84-IN. DIAMETER, WAS REQUIRED TO DRAIN 2,000 ACRES OF LAND IN THE MAIN POST AREA. THE COST OF THIS DRAINAGE SYSTEM WAS APPROXIMATELY $2,000,000. WHILE THE PROJECT IS UNUSUAL, BASED ON PIPE QUANTITES AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS INVOLVED, IT IS ALSO SOMEWHAT UNIQUE IN THAT THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATED COST OF $5,500,000 WAS DRASTICALLY LOWERED BY THE USE OF TEMPORARY PONDING TO REDUCE PEAK DISCHARGES IN THE MAIN TRUNK SEWER. THE HYDRAULIC DESIGN OF THE SYSTEM PERMITS A LIMITED AMOUNT OF PONDING /AT THE MAJORITY OF STORM DRAINAGE INLETS/ AS A RESULT OF A 10-YR FREQUENCY DESIGN STORM. THIS RELATIVELY SMALL AMOUNT OF TEMPORARY STORAGE CAPACITY REDUCED REQUIRED PIPE SIZES CONSIDERABLY, BUT THE LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF COST SAVINGS WAS EFFECTED BY ENLARGING TWO MAJOR PONDING AREAS IN THE UPSTREAM PORTION OF THE PROJECT. THESE TWO EXCAVATED TEMPORARY RETENTION BASINS PERMITTED LARGE REDUCTIONS IN PIPE DIAMETERS FOR NEARLY THREE MILES OF TRUNK SEWER. /AUTHOR/
