used  to  develp  the  composite  CNs.  Other 
assumptions  are  as  follows:  impervious  areas  are 
directly  connected  to  the  drainage  system, 
impervious  areas  have  a  CN  of  98,  and  pervious 
areas  are  considered  equivalent  to  open  space  in 
good  hydrologic  condition.  If  the  impervious  area 
is  not  connected,  the  SCS  method  has  an 
adjustment to reduce the effect.

CNs  shown  are  equivalent  to  those  of  pasture. 
Composite  CNs  may  be  computed  for  other 
combinations of open space cover type.
