Disclaimer – Stormwater BMP Estimation Tool (Crumpler Pipe)
This simulator provides preliminary estimates to support early-stage design of stormwater BMPs (detention/infiltration).
It does not replace the judgment of a licensed Professional Engineer nor local/state regulations.
Rainfall intensities, depths, runoff coefficients (C), and drainage criteria must be verified with
the applicable authorities and/or current design manuals. Use at your own risk.
Quick Read
The geometric layout of the stormwater system (pipes) must follow the recommended separation criteria in the Stormwater BMP manual.
Reference Guidance
Use the volume-based method with a design event duration of 10 to 15 minutes, return periods of 25–100 years, and ensure full drainage within ≤ 72 hours.

Design Notes (BMP) • This tool uses a volume-based detention approach with infiltration and orifices. • Drain-down check is compared to a 72 h criterion (example; confirm with your local code). • Confirm rainfall depths/intensities, soils, and construction details with your local/state BMP manuals. • Runoff coefficients (C) and spacing tables are used as guidance only.
Tip: Gray fields are computed automatically from other inputs.

i = P / t_c
V_runoff = (C_imp·A_imp + C_perv·A_perv)·P
Q_in = V_runoff / t_c
V_pipe = π·(D/2)^2·L
Q_inf = k·(D·L)
Q_h = n·C_d·A_o·√(2gH)·3600
8. Disclaimer – Stormwater BMP Estimation Tool (Crumpler Pipe)
This automated tool provides preliminary estimates only for stormwater detention/infiltration systems using CPP products.
Results are approximate and not a final design. All system designs must be reviewed and approved by a licensed Professional
Engineer or certified installer per local regulations. Final approval requires site-specific analysis and compliance with
federal, state, and local codes. Use at your own risk; this tool does not replace professional judgment or permit requirements.
