It would be great if ORD had the capability to connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet to be able to calculate spread and bypass at the inlet. Currently the workaround is to connect the channel to a Generic Outfall at the edge of the inlet and then inject the flow to the inlet. This process is time consuming, cumbersome, and could easily lead to flows being missed. ORD does allow for channels to be attached to sag inlets, but this would not have any bypass and would not be applicable to On Grade inlets. InRoads could accomplish this by placing a Median Drop inlet in the channel. This fix would be greatly appreciated.
