Jurisdiction is requiring a 7' masonry wall (block fence, basically) around a site. We have a wetpond SCM on site, over-sized to meet pre-post for a 100 year storm. I can size orifices in the wall to accommodate, but from an aesthetic standpoint, wondering if there is a best practice of form to meet this function; when I asked the structural, he basically shrugged and told me to tell him where and how many holes I wanted.
And of course, higher intensity storms than the 100-year will activate the spillway and a considerable amount of water will be headed towards this wall which will basically act as another dam; what size storm should I design for? Thoughts appreciated if anyone has ever come across this.
