Peak discharge/flow rate

NC-2009 SSc6.1: Stormwater design - quantity control

Which formula do you use to calculate peak flow rate (1 and 2-year, 24hours). I am using NRCS (SCS) TR-55 Graphical Discharge Method. Is that recommanded?

Here, by the looks of it, no RATE calculations are required.

Just VOLUME...and only for the 2-year 24hr design storm to boot, meaning:
