ABSTRACT The program provides a means for analysis of the quantity and quality of runoff from urban or non-urban watersheds. The two main types of output are statistical information on quantity and quality of washoff and overflow and pollutographs for selected individual events. Loads and concentrations of six basic water quality parameters are computed (suspended and settleable solids, biochemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen, orthophosphate, and total coliform). Land surface erosion is also computed. The purpose of the analysis is to aid in the sizing of storage and treatment facilities to control the quantity and quality of storm water runoff and land surface erosion. The model considers the interaction of seven storm water elements: rainfall/snowmelt; runoff; dry weather flow; pollutant accumulation and washoff; land surface erosion; treatment rates; and detention reservoir storage. The program is designed for period of record analysis using continuous hourly precipitation data. The continuous runoff (quantity and quality) is simulated using simple runoff percentages or SCS infiltration and unit hydrographs with recovery of the infiltration loss rates during dry period. The Corps program is only available on mainframe computers, but consultants have converted the program to the PC. 15.

1. ORIGIN OF PROGRAM
The o r i g i n a l version of t h i s program was completed i n January 1973
by Water Resources Engineers, Inc. (WRE) o f Walnut Creek, Ca l i fo rn ia , whi le
under cont ract w i t h The Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC). Parts o f the
program had been previously developed by WRE f o r the Environmental Protect ion
Agency and the City o f San Francisco. The HEC has revised the inpu t and
output formats o f the program t o conform t o i t s standardized methods and has
made numerous other program modif icat ions inc lud ing those summarized i n the
Foreword. Resource Analysis, Inc, , o f Cambridge, Massachusetts, added. the
capab i l i t y f o r dry weather f l ow computations. [l ]*
2. PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM
This program provides a means f o r analysis o f the quant i ty and q u a l i t y
of runoff from urban o r nonurban watersheds, The two main types o f output
are s t a t i s t i c a l informat ion on quant i t y and q u a l i t y o f washoff and overf low
and pol 1 utographs f o r selected ind iv idua l events. Loads and concentrations
of s i x basic water qual i t y parameters are computed (suspended and se t t leab le
so l ids, biochemical oxygen demand, t o t a l nitrogen, orthophosphate, and
t o t a l col i form). Land surface erosion i s a l so computed. The purpose o f

3. HARDldARE AND SOFTSARE REQUIREMENTS
This program i s operable on the CDC, UNIVAC, IBM and certain other
computer systems. I t requires about 50,900 words of core storage. Input
i s accomplished by card reader and/or a tape/disk. O u t p u t i s accomplished
by a 132 position l ine printer. Six additional tape/disk units a re required
f o r temporary storage during processing although a l l s ix may not be used
during any given r u n depending on input/output options. The only non-
standard features of the three computer systems required by t h i s program
a re END OF FILE checks and the way i n which multiple output f i l e s are
handled. Up to three output f i l e s a re generated on tape/disk which are
automatically printed a t the conclusion of the job. Detailed instructions
will be found i n Paragraph 5c Computer System Implementation Notes.
4. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM
a . General Concepts. The quantity of storm water runoff has t radi-
t iona l ly been estimated by using a design storm approach. The design storm
was often developed from frequency-duration-intensi ty curves based on rain-
fa1 1 records. T h i s approach neglects the time interval between storms and
the capacity of the system to handle some types of storms better than others.
Infrequent , h i g h intensity storms may be completely contained w i t h i n
storage so that no untreated storm water overflows to receiving waters.
Alternately, a series of closely spaced stonns of moderate intensity may
tax the system to the point that excess water must be released untreated,
I t seems reasonable, therefore, to assume that precipitation cannot be
considered without the system, and a design storm cannot be defined by
i t s e l f , b u t must be defined i n the l ight of the characteristics of the
storm water fac i l i t ies . The approach used i n this program recognizes not
only the properties of storm duration and intensity, b u t also storm spacing
and the storage capacity of the storm water system,
Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of the seven storm water
elements modeled by STORM, In th is approach, rainfall washes dust and
d i r t and the associated pollutants off the watershed. The resulting runoff
is routed to the treatment-storage f ac i l i t i e s where runoff less than or
equal to the treatment rate i s treated and released. Runoff exceeding the
capacity of the treatment plant i s stored for treatment a t a l a te r time.
If storage i s exceeded, the untreated excess i s wasted through overflow
directly into the receiving waters, The magnitude and frequency of these
overflows are often important i n a storm water study. STORM provides
s ta t i s t i ca l information on washoff, as well as overflows, The quantity,
qua1 i ty, and number o f overflows are functions of hydrologic character is t ics ,
land use, treatment rate, and storage capacity.
A t yp i ca l method o f inves t iga t ion i s t o a l t e r the treatment, storage,
and land use and note the resu l t i ng response o f the system, A group o f
a l te rna t i ves can then be selected from among those meeting the overflow
quant i ty and qual i t y objectives.
-
The fo l lowing sections describe the methodology o f t h i s approach of
est imat ing storm water runoff quant i ty and qual i t y . The four major steps
involved are 1) the computation o f runoff quant i ty, 2) the computation of
r uno f f qual i ty, 3) the computation o f treatment, storage, and overflow, and
4) computation o f 1 and surface erosion.
b. Computation o f Snowmel t. I f snowfall /snowme1 t computations are
t o be considered, the inpu t hour ly p r e c i p i t a t i o n record must f i r s t be
processed w i t h a d a i l y a i r temperature record f o r the same per iod o f time.
Snowmel t analyses are accompl i shed by the Degree-Day method as f 01 1 ows :
MELT = COEF * (7 - TT), MELT - < PACK
where
MELT = snowmel t i n basin inches/day (m/day)
COEF = degree day mel t coe f f i c i en t , usua l l y about 0.05 - 0.1 i n/dayj°F (2.3-4.6 mm/day/"C)
- T = average d a i l y a i r temperature, OF (OC)
TT = threshold temperatuce, OF (OC), a t which snow me1 t s
PACK = ava i lab le snowpack water equivalent i n basin inches (mn)
5
The inpu t p r e c i p i t a t i o n record i s processed w i t h d a i l y average o r
max/min temperatures i n order t o determine whether the p r e c i p i t a t i o n i s
l i q u i d o r snow. When the average d a i l y temperature i s below a f reez ing
threshold, the p rec ip i t a t i on d u r i ng t h a t day f a l l s as snow and accumulates
i n a pack. No runoff occurs on t h i s day. Conversely, when the average
d a i l y temperature i s above the f reez ing threshold, the snowpack mel ts and
provides r u n o f f i n add i t i on t o r a i n f a l l , i f any, during t h a t period. The
snow i s assumed t o me l t from 0900 t o 1700 hours. The r e s u l t i n g snowmelt
and r a i n f a l l record replaces the o r i g i n a l p r e c i p i t a t i o n record as inpu t
t o subsequent processing. Because r a i n f a l l energy i s considerably l a r g e r
than snowmel t energy f o r purposes o f land erosion computations, days on
which snowrnelt occurs are f lagged by negative signs so t h a t the appropr iate
computations can be made f o r erosion.
c. Computation o f the Quant i t y o f Runoff. Runoff quan t i t y can be
computed by one o f three methods, the c o e f f i c i e n t method, the U.S. So i l
Conservation Service Curve Number Technique, o r a combination o f the two.
The c o e f f i c i e n t method spec i f ies t h a t a ce r t a i n f r a c t i o n o f r a i n f a l l w i l l
r un o f f each hour o f each r a i n f a l l event whi le the SCS method uses a ra i n -
f a l l - r u n o f f r e l a t i onsh ip based on antecedent condi t ions f o r each r a i n f a l l
event. The t h i r d opt ion uses the coe f f i c ien t method on impervious areas
and the SCS method on pervious areas, weighting the sum according t o the
t o t a l f rac t ion o f impervious area.
(1 ) Coe f f i c ien t Method. The coe f f i c i en t method uses the fo l low ing
equation f o r computation o f runof f volume dur ing each hour ly t ime i n te r va l .
where
r = runof f i n inches (mm)
C = composite runof f coe f f i c ien t
P = rainfall/snowmelt i n inches (mn) over the area
f = avai lable depression storage i n inches (mm)
Average annual runoff coef f ic ients f o r the pervi ous and impervious
areas o f the watershed are speci f ied and subsequently weighted according
t o the t o t a l f r ac t i on imperviousness so as t o obtain a single composite
runof f coef f ic ient , The runof f coe f f i c ien t accounts f o r losses due t o
i n f i l t r a t i o n and i s computed by the fol lowing equation:
where
C~ = runoff coef f ic ient f o r pervi ous surfaces
CI = runoff coe f f i c ien t f o r impervious surfaces
Xi = area i n land use i as a f rac t i on o f t o t a l urban watershed area
Fi = f rac t ion o f land use i that i s impervious
L = t o t a l number o f land uses
The composite runof f coe f f i c ien t i s used f o r every r a i n f a l l event i n
the r a i n f a l l /snowme1 t record regardless o f r a i n f a l l character ist ics o r
antecedent moisture conditions. One wou1 d expect t h i s method t o perform
better on watersheds of relatively high percent imperviousness, for which
losses due to infiltration are re1ativel.y small.
Before the runoff coefficient is applied, depression storage losses
must be satisfied. Depression storage represents the capacity of the
watershed to retain water in depressions and on foliage. The amount of
depression storage at any point in time is a function of Past rainfall/
snowmel t and evaporation. Depression storage is computed on a continuous
basis by the following expression:
f = fo + NDk, f - < D (4 )
where
fo = available depression storage, in inches (mm) at the end of
previous rainfall event
ND = number of dry days since end of previous rainfall event
k = pan evaporation rate, in incheslday (mm/day) , representing
the recovery of depression storage
D = maximum depression storage in inches (m) .
Before the surface runoff enters the storaqe-treatment computations it
may be modified bv a diversion. The diverted flow is considered lost from
the system and is not used in any further computations. Since the diversion
option applies only to the surface runoff, it cannot be used to divert dry
weather flow in combined sewer systems. Overflows from a combined system
may be approximated by setting the treatment rate equal to the average flow
at which overflow begins.
The equation fo r runoff i s :
R = r - w (r - DVU,~,), fo r r 5 DVU,,, (5
R = r - w (DVUmax - DVUmin), f o r r > DVUma, (6
where
R = surface runo f f a f te r d ivers ion
r = surface runo f f before d ivers ion
w = f r a c t i o n o f runof f between DVUma, and DVUmin d i ve r ted
DVUmin = r u n o f f a t which d ivers ion begins
DVUma, = runoff a t which no addi t iona l d ivers ion can occur
Figure 2 i l l u s t r a t e s a sample o f the manner i n which the p r e c i p i t a t i o n
(P), depression storage ( f ) , excess r a i n f a l l (P-f) and the r e s u l t i n g
runo f f (R) are handled by the c o e f f i c i e n t method, Treatment, storage and
overflows are a lso depicted.

runoff begins . S = total soil moisture capacity for storage of water in inches (mm).
In situations where values for IA are unavailable, the SCS suggests using
IA = 0.2*S. This has been included as a default i n the program, however,
i t may yield too high values of IA for urbanized areas. During each
precipitation event, soil moisture capacity (S) i s decreased due to
infi l t rat ion and increased due to percolation to ground water.
Computations are carried out i n terms of soil moisture capacity,
however, the curve number and soil moisture capacity are related by the
following equation (for English units).
Figure 3 i l lus t ra tes examples of SCS runoff curves. Each curve (CN)
represents a unique re1 ationship between rainfall and runoff, No runoff
occurs until the in i t i a l abstraction ( I A ) is satisfied. Thereafter, the
runoff proceeds along the parabolic function and eventually becomes asymptotic
t o a 45' line. In the asymptotic region, nearly a l l additional precipitation
is assumed to run off, (A curve number of 100 with an in i t i a l abstraction of
0 would represent a completely impervious watershed w i t h no storage or
interception. ) Since the Curve Number Technique was developed to compute
total storm runoff volume, an assumption was made that the curves could
also be used t o represent the cummulative runoff du r ing an event. Cal i-
bration should include verification of th is assumption.

Since STORM i s a continuous simulation model, a procedure i s needed
t o compute evapotranspiration, i n f i l t r a t i o n from i n i t i a l abstraction,
and percolation during periods of no prec ip i ta t ion. The model computes
the s o i l moisture capacity ( d e f i c i t ) a t the beginning o f each time increment
by the fol lowing equation. Baseflow i s not simulated.
where
A = 0.7 ( ( s M - s ~ _ ~ ) / s M ) ~ (10)
B = ( ( s M - s ~ - ~ ) / s M ) ~ (11)
S = s o i l moisture capacity f o r storage o f water i n inches (mn)

resu l t ing runoff (R) are handled by t h i s option i n STORM.
(3) Dry-Weather Flow Quantity. Dry-weather f low i n combined
sewer systems i s of ten a major contr ibutor o f po l lu tants t o the receiving
waters. Capabil i ty has been placed i n t h i s version of STORM t o a1 low the
user t o specify o r compute the quant i ty and qua l i t y o f dry-weather flow.
Previous versions o f STORM d id not have the capabi l i t y t o compute qua1 i ty

i n the watershed storage value.
The quant i ty of dry-weather flow i s produced by domestic, commercial

Four options f o r computing the quant i ty o f dry-weather f low have

(1) Specif ication of the - t o t a l waste water f low (sum o f
domestic, commercial and i ndus t r i a l ) and the i n f i I t r a t i o n

( 2 ) Domestic, commercial, indus t r ia l , and i n f i l t r a t i o n flows
speci f ied separately, a l l i n m i l l i o n gallons per day
(mi 11 ion 1 i ters per day).
(3) Speci f icat ion o f the coeff ic ients required i n the fol lowing
equations t o compute each component o f dry-weather flow:
Domestic Flow = cl*Population
Conmercial Flow = c2*Comnercial Area i n acres (hectares)
I ndus t r i a l Flow = cg* Indust r ia l Area i n acres (hectares)
I n f i 1 t r a t i o n Flow = c4*Total Area i n acres (hectares)
where the coe f f i c ien ts have the fo l lowing un i ts :

(4) Same as Option 3 except t h a t the model assumes the fo l lowing
values f o r the coe f f i c ien ts cl, c2, c3 and c4 [3].
c1 = 0.0001 mgd/capi t a (0.3785 m3/day/capi t a )
c2 = 0.03 mgd/acre (280.5 m3/day/hectare)
c3 = 0.01 mgd/acre (93.5 m3/day/hectare)
c4 = 0.002 mgd/acre (1 8.7 m3/day/ hectare)
Three options f o r d a i l y va r ia t ions i n dry-weather f low have been

(1) Qua1 i ty o f Surface Runoff. Po l lu tants tend t o accumulate
on the land surface i n many ways. Some o f the most comnon accumulations
occur i n debr is dropped o r scat tered by people, sidewalk sweepings, erosion
and debris from const ruct ion o r renovation, remnants o f household refuse,
residue from automobile exhaust and t i r e s , and the f a l l o u t o f p a r t i c u l a t e
matter from the a i r , I r respec t i ve o f the way i n which po l l u t an t s tend t o
accumulate on the watershed, they can be general ly c l a s s i f i e d i n t o one o f
the fo l lowing categories o f s t r e e t l i t t e r : rags, paper, dust and d i r t ,
vegetation, and inorganics.
Some of the most s i g n i f i c a n t water qua1 i ty parameters include suspended
and se t t leab le so l ids, chemical and biochemical oxygen demand, n i t rogen , phosphorous and co l i f o rm bacteria, Other po l l u t an t s found i n storm water
runoff can include pest ic ides, herbicides, and numerous inorganic
consti tuents.
Two methods f o r spec i fy ing pol l u t a n t accumulation are avai 1 able i n
STORM, the dust and d i r t method and the d a i l y po l l u t an t accumulation method.
The dust and d i r t method assumes t h a t a1 1 po l lu tan ts are associated
w i t h the dust and d i r t accumulation i n the streets. A study [6] done i n
Chicago concluded t h a t the most s i g n i f i c a n t category o f s t r e e t l i t t e r i s
dust and d i r t except dur ing the f a l l when organic mater ia l becomes the
dominant component. The Chicago study a lso determined the dust and d i r t
accumulation r a t e i n the s t ree ts o f several t e s t areas and re l a ted the
concentrations o f various po l lu tan ts t o the amount o f dust and d i r t , This
opt ion i n STORM al lows the user t o spec i fy the dust and d i r t accumulation
i n terms of pounds/100 f e e t o f gu t t e r length/day (kg/100 m gutter/day) f o r
each land use. The po l lu tan ts are expressed as f rac t ions o f the dust and
d i r t f o r each land use. This method o f p o l l u t a n t accumulation should no t
be used where a s i g n i f i c a n t por t ion o f the po l lu tan ts come from areas other
than s t ree ts nor where non-urban land uses represent a s i g n i f i c a n t po r t i on
o f the watershed. Use o f the dust and d i r t method on a non-urban watershed
would requi re spec i f i ca t ion o f f i c t i c i o u s s t ree t gu t t e r dens i t ies f o r each

The computation o f the q u a l i t y o f storm water r uno f f using the dust
and d i r t basis involves a continuous analysis o f the accumulation and
washoff o f the dust and d i r t w i t h i n the study area. The amount o f

d i r t on the watershed and the frequency and e f f i c i ency o f s t r ee t sweeping
operations. The r a t e o f dust and d i r t accumulation, DDL, f o r a given land
use, L, can be expressed as:

If the number of days since the last runoff i s less than the street

where
P~ = total pounds (Kgs) of pollutant p on land use t a t the

ND = number of days without runoff since the last storm
P ~ o = total pounds (Kgs) of pollutant remaining on land use L a t
the end of the last storm.
If the number of days without runoff i s greater than the street
sweeping interval , the fol 1 owi ng expression i s used :

por t ion o f the po l lu tan ts are assumed t o come from areas o ther than s t ree ts
o r where a s ignif icant portion of the land uses are non-urban. The method
requires only average daily accumulation rates for each pollutant. Dust
and dirt accumulation rates are not required. Street sweeping i s not
allowed w i t h this method.
(2 ) Qua1 i ty of Dry-Weather Flow. The qua1 i ty constituents
predicted by the dry-weather flow portion of STORM are the same as those
predicted by the surface runoff portion. These are suspended so l ids ,
se t t leable sol i d s , biochemical oxygen demand, to ta l nitrogen, to ta l
orthophosphate, and to ta l co l i fom. Four options are also provided for
computation of quality of dry-weather flow. The same option - must be used
for quality as f o r quantity: (see page 15)

coliforms i n bi l l ion MPN per day.
(3) Specification of the coefficients ((B(1 ,J), J = 1 ,6 ) , I = 1,4)
required i n the fol 1 owing equations t o compute each component:
Domestic Loads-:
Suspended Sol i d s = B(l ,I )*Population
S e t t l e a b l e So l ids = B(1,2)*Population
Biochemical Oxygen Demand = B(l,3)*Population
N i trogen = B(1,4)*Population
Orthophosphate = B(l ,5)*Populati on
Col i forms = B(1,6)*Popul a t i on
Commerci a 1 Loads :
Suspended Sol i d s = B(2 ,I )*Commercial Area i n ac res (hec ta res )
S e t t l e a b l e Sol ids= B(2,2)*Commercial Area i n ac res (hectares)
Col i forms = B(2,6)*Commercial Area i n ac res (hectares)
Indus t r i a1 Loads :

S e t t l e a b l e Sol i d s = B(3,2)*Industri a1 Area i n acres (hectares)

S e t t l e a b l e So l ids = B(4,2)*Total Area i n ac res (hec ta res )
Co 1 i forms = B(4,6)*Total Area i n ac res (hectares)
where the coefficients have the following units:
( ~ ( 1 , J ) , J = 1,5) i n pounds (kgs) per capita per day
B(1,6) i n billion MPN per capita per day
( ( B ( I , J ) , I = 2,4), J = 1,5) i n pounds per acre per day (kgs per
hectare per day).
(B(1,6), I = 2,4) i n billion MPN per acre per day (billion MPN per
hectare per day),
(4) Same as Option No. 3 except that the default values shown
i n Table 3 a re used for the coefficients,
The option used for dry-weather flow quality computations must be
the same as that used for the dry-weather flow quantity computations,
Option No. 1 i s the most accurate since i t uses data from the
prototype system, Option No, 2 can be used where estimates of the
individual components can be computed. Option No. 3 requires typical
coefficients for each component. Option No. 4 should be used only as
a l a s t resort since the default values may not be appropriate for the
prototype system.
e. Computation of Storage, Treatment and Overflow. Computations of
treatment, storage, and overflow are accompl ished on an hourly basis throughout
the rainfall/snowmelt record. Periods of no rain are skipped, The number of
dry hours i s used for various purposes including recovery of soil moisture

pass through the storage f a c i l i t y . This overf low i s l o s t from the system and
cannot be t rea ted l a t e r , While the storm r u n o f f i s i n storage i t s age i s

The computation o f storage and the in te rp lays among r a i n f a l l /snowme1 t , storage, and treatment represent a s i m p l i s t i c approach t o d i v i d i n g a ra i n -
f a l l record i n t o unique events such t h a t the event i s defined i n terms o f
the charac te r i s t i cs o f the urban system. For example, whether two "storms"
are considered as two i so l a ted occurrences o r as one la rge storm i s e n t i r e l y
dependent upon how the system w i l l r eac t t o them. I f the system has not
recovered from the f i r s t when the second ar r ives, the two d e f i n i t e l y w i l l
i n t e r a c t and hence must be considered together. An "event" i s defined,
therefore, as beginning when storage i s requ i red and cont inu ing u n t i l the
storage reservo i r i s emptied, A l l the r a i n f a l l occurr ing w i t h i n t h i s per iod
i s p a r t of the same event, I f r u n o f f p lus dry-weather flow does not exceed
the treatment ra te , the r e s u l t i n g waste water w i l l pass through the t r ea t -

water system, such p r e c i p i t a t i o n i s inconsequential and hence i s no t p a r t
o f an event even i f i t should occur imnediately before an event.
The quan t i t y o f the system overflows are computed by
QT = minimum o f (R + QS , T) t -1
QS = minimum o f (R - QT,S)
where
Qo = basin inches (mm) o f runo f f overf low
QT = basin inches (mm) o f r uno f f t rea ted
Qs = basin inches (mn) o f r uno f f stored
Qs = basin inches (mm) o f storage remaining i n previous hour t -1
R = basin inches (mm) o f r u n o f f p l us dry-weather f low (routed)
T = treatment r a t e i n basin inches/hour (mm/hour)
S = storage capaci ty i n basin inches (mm)
The qua1 i t y of the system overflows are computed as fo l lows f o r each
po l l u t an t f o r each hour,
M ~ o = M6(Qo/R)
M p ~ / s ' M6 - Mpo
where
M ~ o = t o t a l pounds (kg) of po l l u t an t p overf lowing from system M i = t o t a l pounds (kg) o f pol l u t a n t p coming i n t o the system as

This version of STORM does no t model the biochemical aspects o f the
treatment process, It merely computes the quan t i t y o f water treated.
I f the dry-weather f l ow op t ion i s used, the treatment r a t e spec i f i ed by
the user should, i n general, be greater than the average dry-weather flow.
Otherwise, a continuous combined sewer overf low w i 11 occur requ i ri ng
continuous storage.
f. Computation o f Land Surface Erosion.
(1 ) The Universal S o i l Loss Equation. The universal so i l - l oss
equation i s used t o ca lcu la te land surface erosion. [a]
SER = EI*K*LS*C*P*SDR (35)
where
SER = land surface erosion from the subbasin i n tonslacre (metr ic

E I = r a i n f a l l f ac to r based on r a i n f a l l/snowmel t erosive energy
K = s o i l e r o d i b i l i t y f a c t o r based on s o i l propert ies
LS = length-slope fac tor , a function of ground surface slope (s) and
overland f low length (L) as fo l lows:
C = cropping-management factor , represent ing the character and extent
of ground cover (grass, b~ash , trees, etc.)
P = erosion-control p rac t i ce fac tor , intended t o represent manmade

SDR = sediment de l i ve ry r a t i o
Rain fa l l Factor. Although the r a i n f a l l f ac to r i s ca lcu la ted from
r a i n f a l l i n t ens i t y , i t i s based on raindrop s i ze versus terminal ve l oc i t y
as determined by a regression equation. A basic assumption i s t h a t r a i n
storm events west o f the Rocky Mountains produce r a i n drops which obey
the same regression equation as the one f o r storms east of the Rocky
Ftountains. Snowfall, however, produces no impact energy and ye t , the
r e s u l t i n g runoff produces 1 and surface erosion. Therefore, the E I value
from snowmelt i s a r b i t r a r i l y decreased t o 1/3 of the value f o r an equivalent
r a i n f a l l excess.
Length-Slope Factor. The length used i n t h i s f a c t o r should be the

The values suggested f o r C and P are subjective; therefore, f i e l d
v e r i f i c a t i o n i s needed. The Soi 1 Conservation Service shoul d be
consulted f o r addl t i ona l information regarding local conditions.
(2) Erosion by Soil Type. Default values for the so i l erosion
variables, except fo r EI, are coded into the computer program so tha t one
need only specify the so i l type by i t s c lassif icat ion code (BtB , HaC, . . . , etc . ) in order t o calculate the erosion ra te and total erosion. An example
of a procedure for u t i l iz ing a so i l map t o code so i l s information is
described i n the fol lowing paragraphs.
The program does not require the user t o code a l l of every so i l
type i n the study area. One or more representative sample areas can be
coded and the program will "scale up" the so i l erosion variables t o the
en t i r e study area. For example, the so i l types, columns (1) and (4) i n
Table 6 were coded from the 1/2 square mile ,sample area shown on Figure 5.

study area (41 6).
( 3 ) Erosion During and After Construction. When evaluating the
impact of a development on land surface erosion, L , S, C and P may be
specified for each land use. The soil type codes are used again to identify
the soil types i n each land use category. The program will then calculate
erosion rate, erosion, and washoff of dust and dirt from impervious areas
for a single storm or for the period of record. One can calculate erosion
during construction or du r ing some other phase of land management by varying
C and P. 7be increase or decrease i n land surface erosion due to ultimate
development or interim construction practice can be estimated by comparing
these resul t s w i t h those representing natural conditions .
(4) Erosion by Land Use. When computing land surface erosion
by l a n d use, one must specify the variables for equation (35) for each
land use. I t i s d i f f icul t to select one average value for each land use
since there are so many different so5 1 types. Therefore, the capabi 1 i t y
of specifying each set of soil properties and erosion control practices
as a percent of the total area for that land use i s provided. The program
weights and combines these distributed properties into one representative
value for that land use called "potential soil erosion factor", Each
land use may be sampled independently. There i s no program limit t o the
number of samples or the number of soil types. Some samples may account
for 100 percent of that land use category while others i n the same data
se t may not.
(5) Sediment Delivery Rat io (SDR). The soil erosion equation
(35) predicts the erosion rate a t the point where soil i s dislodged. Other
factors are important i n determining the fraction of erosion that reaches
the outlet of the watershed. Sediment will deposit i n the surface and
subsurface conveyance systems, streets , sediment traps and on adjacent
areas. The size of sediment particles, flow w i d t h , flow depth, flow
velocity and change i n energy slope are among the important factors in the
determination of the portion of eroded soil that i s delivered to the outlet
of the watershed.
STORM lumps the effects of the important sediment delivery factors
into an empirical coefficient called the Sediment Delivery Ratio (SDR).
I t replaces al l of the complex equations required to model sediment transport
in conveyance systems and movement of sediment in overland flow. Table 7
presents average sediment del i very ratios for various size drainage areas.
The data used to develop the relationship were taken from several studies
[I 5). Dependable results require cal i bration of the SDR using observed data.

The land surface erosion option is intended to be used where onlv
sediment production i s to be studied. Sediment loads calculated by this
option are not added to the suspended or setteable solids loads and therefore
are no t reflected in pollutograph, event or annual values of suspended and
settleable solids. In studies where soil erosion may be a contributor, b u t
no t necessarily the major source, the loading coefficients f o r suspended
and settleable sol ids must be adjusted i n order for the soil erosion to be
reflected i n the qua l i ty output.

A maximum of 6 tape/disk units are required during a given run. The
rainfall record need not be read and edited for each run. The working
tape/disk on unit 12 can be saved and used as input for successive runs
where snowmel t is not computed. Similarly, snowmel t computations need
not be recomputed for each job. Once the snowmelt computations are
satisfactory, the working tape/disk on unit 1 1 can be saved for successive
runs. The variable IN then specifies input on unit 11. The Input
Description (Appendix B ) describes the tape/di s k options.
In addition to the tape/disk units previously mentioned, the program
uses a card reader and a 132 position line printer. Some other specifi-
cations of the program operation are shown below.

c. Computer System Implementation Notes. The STORM model has been
generalized as much as possible to permit easy implementation on four ma,jor
computer systems: UNIVAC 1108; IBM 360; IBM 370; and CDC 7600. The source
program that has been provided is operable on a CDC 7600 with addition of a
PROGRAM card. Certain changes are necessary in order to operate the program
on the other three computer systems. These changes are due t o TAPE hand1 i ng
procedures, and END OF FILE checks. The fo l lowing paragraphs explain the
changes and t h e i r locat ions.
SCRATCH and/or INPUT Tape/Disk Usage. Two data inpu t un i t s may be used as
i d e n t i f i e d by var iab le " I N " and "ITAPE" on the C1 and D l input cards,
respect ively. S ix SCRATCH un i t s are a lso required. Un i t 12 i s designated
f o r r a i n f a l l and un i t s 11 and 12 fo r r a i n f a l l and snowmelt. Un i t 1 i s
required t o accommodate decoding alphanumeric s o i l c l ass i f i ca t i ons i n
subroutine ERODE. Un i ts 13, 14, and 15 are used for s t o r i ng output in for -
mation dur ing processing and are p r i n ted a t the conclusion o f the run by
subroutine PRT, SCRATCH and 1/0 un i t s are defined a t card sequence # I s
1154-1159, 1194-1196, 1214-1216, 1224, 3627301, 6206, and 6208.
UNIVAC 1108. No change necessary if assigned un i t s conform t o standard
un i t s on the system.
CDC The "Program" card establ ishes the SCRATCH and 110 un i t s :

//FTllF001 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL, (5,2) )
//FT12F001 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(5,2) )
TAPE11 and TAPE12 are w r i t t e n i n unformatted binary form. They can be saved
f o r use i n subsequent runs t o reduce processing time. A s ing le r a i n f a l l /
snowmelt day consists o f 26 words and each record contains 200 days fo r the
t o t a l o f 5,200 words.
SCRATCH output f i l e s on the IBM 370 must be specified by JCL as follows:
//FT15F001 DD UNIT-SYSDA ,SPACE= (1 33, (500,50) ) , / / DCB=(RECRd=FB ,LRECL=l33,BLKSIZE=133)
END-OF-FILE. Subroutines STORM, INPUT, PRT and SKPFIL use FORTRAN -
end-of-file checks which have not been standardized on a l l computer systems.

6. MODEL USAGE
The STORM model can be used f o r two important planning components of
a storm water study. These are:
a. Prediction of Wet-Weather Pollutographs (Mass Loading Curves) f o r
Use i n a Receiving Water Assessment Model. These pollutographs can include
both surface runoff and dry-weather flow. Since the computations a r e based
on land use, the predictions can represent ex i s t ing conditions o r any o ther
land use conditions. The impact of land use change can, therefore , be
evaluated.
b. Preliminary Sizing of Storage and Treatment F a c i l i t i e s t o Sa t i s fy
Desired Cr i te r ia f o r Control of Storm Water Runoff. The model can analyze
a matrix of storages and treatment ra tes . Results include s t a t i s t i c a l infor-
mation on quanti ty and qua l i ty of washoff of pol lutants and so i l erosion,
as well as s t a t i s t i c a l information on the quant i ty and qua l i ty of storage
overflows fo r each combination of storage and treatment r a t e .
Before the model can be used i n these analyses, ce r ta in model parameters
must be cal ibra ted t o observed quant i ty , qua l i ty and erosion data.
Runoff volumes can be surnmari zed and compared with h i s to r ica l runoff.
This comparison will a s s i s t parameter adjustment fo r the long term water
balance. Pol 1 utographs may be requested fo r selected events and fu r ther
ca l ib ra t ion made t o reproduce hourly runoff volumes or pollutant loadings.
Detailed recommendations on the ca l ib ra t ion and application of STORM wi l l
be found in the HEC report "Guidelines f o r the Calibration and Application
of STORM" [ I l l .
7. INPUT STRUCTURE
A detai led description of the STORM input data i s given i n Appendix B.
Data a re input on cards and cer ta in tape/disk units .
8. PROGRAM OUTPUT
The STORM program produces four output reports:
Quanti ty Analysis
Qua l i ty Analysis
Pol lutograph Analysis
Land Surface Erosion Analysis
The quant i ty analysis repor t i s generated d i rec t lv on the l i n e p r in t e r
as the program executes. The other three reports a re generated concurrently
on tape/disk and automatically printed a t the end of the job. Input
variables allow control of the level of printout which may be summary only,
a l l events, and/or de ta i l ed analysis of se lected events. The quanti ty and
qua1 i t y reports a1 so include average annual s t a t i s t i c s of the ra in fa l I /
snowmelt, runoff, pol lutant washoff and the quanti ty, qua l i ty and frequency
of overflows t o the r e c e i v i n g water. The land surface erosion r e p o r t shows
average annual values f o r sediment production and d e l i v e r y t o the r e c e i v i n g
system. The input and output f o r several t e s t problems i s shown i n Appendix A.

TEST DATA SET 1 QUANTITY ANALYSIS
T h i s t e s t data s e t contains a sample run exercising only the storage
volume and treatment rate (quantity) options i n STORM, Three years of
rainfal l data are used a1 though the program will handle many years. The
length of record should be based on study needs and s t a t i s t i c a l consid-
eration, i , e , , whether a short record accurately represents long term
conditions,
Two treatment rates are investigated. The storage-uti 1 ization curve
i s plotted for each combination. Printout level is reduced to sumnary
only f o r the second treatment rate. The following pages contain a l i s t i n g

TEST DATA SET 2 QUANTITY AND QUALITY ANALYSES, SNOWMELT, UNIT HY DROGRAPHS
Test Data Set 2 uses the snowrnelt option i n STORM. I t a l so provides
both a quantity and quality analysis of surface runoff. The Soil Conser-
vation Service Techniques a re used fo r computing quantity of runoff as
well as the character is t ics of the unit hydrograph. The input hydrograph
option is exercised t o demonstrate tha t computed hydrographs can be
rep1 aced w i t h user desi red observed hydrographs (dimensioned fo r 100
consecutive days of input hydrograghs). A one year sample rainfal l record
i s used. Pollutant accumulation rates are expressed i n terms of pounds/
acre/day. Hourly pollutographs are computed fo r several selected events
t o i l l u s t r a t e calibration of the model using observed runoff quantity and
quality data f o r these events. The following pages contain the input and
output fo r Test Data Set 2.

The magnitudes and condi t ions f o r each var iab le are described. Some
var iables simply ind ica te whether a program opt ion i s t o be used o r no t by
using the integers 0 o r 1. Other var iables contain numbers which express
the magnitude o f the var iable. A p lus s ign (+) i s shown under "Value" where
