1) Review Stokes Law and pick a particle size that you want to intercept.

recommend you maximize the retention time, but if you go beyond about 2 or 3 days you will be encouraging mosquitoes and other health and safety issues. Plus, you need to evacuate the basin so that it will be ready for the next rain storm.
Try WINhydro available from McTrans @ University of Florida. It will let U select particle size, inflow, outflow, etc. and size the basin for U.
