-The Dane County Erosion Control and Stormwater Management Ordinance sets management standards to attenuate the adverse impacts of stormwater.  Specifically, stormwater management practices must be designed and installed at new developments to meet ordinance requirements.  Management practices must be designed to maintain predevelopment peak flow for the 2- and 10-year, 24-hour storm events, so that the post-development hydrograph is similar to Figure 5.  In order to attenuate the adverse impacts of sediment loading, the ordinance also requires that the stormwater management practices be designed to trap the 5 µm particle for the 1-year, 24-hour storm event.

 The ordinance requires that discharges from new construction sites have a stable outlet capable of carrying designed flow at a non-erosive velocity.  Outlet design must consider both flow capacity and duration.  This requirement applies to both the site outlet and the ultimate outlet to stormwater conveyance or water body.
-Stable outlets are an integral part of well-designed erosion control and stormwater management practices.  Stable outlets allow stormwater and erosion control structures to function properly and provide a way for runoff to be discharged without causing damage to downstream properties or water bodies.  A stable outlet can be a grassed waterway, vegetated or paved area, grade stabilization structure, underground outlet, rock chute, rock lined channel or stable watercourse.

 Stable outlets must have the capacity to handle the designed outflow from the stormwater or erosion control structures they serve.  If the outlet is to be vegetated, it should be constructed and established before installation of other stormwater or erosion control structures.  Verify that the channel lining is adequate to carry the design to velocity and volume.

-To prevent [[grassed swale|grassed swales]] from eroding, an analysis of the channel velocity must be performed to determine the required control practice(s).  Where velocities are higher than 5 feet per second or where the channel must carry prolonged flow, the channel should be lined with riprap or other armoring material.  Channel linings shall be designed based on the expected channel velocity from the 10-year, 24-hour storm event.
