===Determine the effective infiltration coefficient==
<math>q'=\frac{q}{SCF}</math>
The following equations assume that infiltration occurs primarily through the base of the facility.

*''D'' = Duration of design storm in hrs
*''D'' = Duration of design storm in hrs
*''i'' = Intensity of design storm in mm/hr
*''i'' = Intensity of design storm in mm/hr
*''q''' = Infiltration rate of underlying soil in mm/hr
