TNFLOW REDUCTION RESULTING FROM GRTEN R ED EVE L O P M g N T P ROJ E YS

The 2001 LTCP Hydraulic Model uses Area Reduction Factors (ARFs)to

represent the "effective area" for varying runoff response

:,

An ARF of 75% is used in combined sewer areas An ARF of 25% is used in separated sewer areas where public sources only have been disconnected An ARF of 10% is used in separated sewer areas where public and private sources are disconnected
