It shall be assumed “good hydrologic conditions” exist for appropriate land covers as identified in TR-55 or an equivalent methodology.
The TR-55- specified curve numbers for other land uses shall be used.
Separate curve numbers for pervious and impervious surfaces shall be used to calculate runoff volumes, and not composite curve numbers as defined in TR-55.
Peak discharges shall be calculated using TR-55 runoff curve number methodology, Atlas 14 precipitation depths, and the appropriate NRCS Wisconsin MSE3 or MSE4 precipitation distribution.
