existing building and constructing anew 11,400 square feet commercial building,. Submitted information

Your off Ice, haus req nested that we (limit our review to they design of storrnwnvaiter systeran as it relates to
compliance to local, state or relevant codes and regulations. 'B=ased upon our review, Dhazen offers the
following cerrnwrwernts for the Towns consideration:
Stormater Management&(Erosion and Sediment Control:
1. The project proposes to disturb 1.75 acres of hand (according to the project narrative) and
therefore requires the preparation of a Storrruvrater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in
accordance with P-0-15-0 that Includes erosion and sediment controls as well ,as post
construction storrrnw rater management practices. A Stormwater management report and SWPPP
have been prcni Comments related to the proposed storm water management and erosion

. Section; 179-6-080 of the Town Coder states that stormwater drainage plans shall analyze the
impacts of a project using at Ileast a 0-year roturnistormi with regards to both runoff rate and
volume for ccrmimerdall projects.The Applicant has provided a 50-year analysis..
. The Applicant Iniclluded an environmental site remediation search. The contamination does not
appear to be on this project's parcel.The Applicant to clarify that the,contamination its not on the
site and that the remediation systems and/or plan do not involve the project's parcel.
4; It is noted that the project falls within an archeological sensitive area according to the short PAF
The Applicant to revise the SWP,PP to Include the required documentation per LFS of the General
Permit.
It appears the proposed condition n>i adell does not match the (Layout, Materialls, &Gradingplan
(Sheet IL G-1). For example,, 011 appears to be routed to OCS1 (invert out 454.50') andl
(invert out 4515.03")and the Hydro AD model shows all the runoff from suJbcatclhment,tA flowing,
into the infiltration system. The Applicant shaill model the entire system to show (now runoff is
directed to the pretreatment and infiltration devices. Further,the Applicant proposes an overflow
to a steep .slopee atthe rear of the parcel, 'The fulll system needs to be modeled so that this and
other elements of the design scan be fully designed. Additionally, it is not clear that the
subcatchrnent drawn about CB5A is accurate. It appears that a portion of ROut,29 iincluidiing area
that wouild extend north past available survey information maybe tributary, to this CB, Clear
delineation of this subcatchment is important., li en that runoff from the area could affect the
proposed infiltration system, and further the amount of discharge from the overflow device (and
subsecluentlly down the steep slope). The Applicant to revise the subcatchrmnent reaps and model
accordingly'.
. The M54 acceptance form provided in the 'SWIPPP is blank. The Applicant,to provide a draft M54
acceptance foam.
7. The project involves work within the 'Stage DOT right-of�way.The Applicant shall coordinate with
the DOT and it is recommended that they copy the,Torn on all correspondence,.
B. A legally binding and enforceablle maintenance agreement may be executed between the facility
owner and the Town, ensuring proper maintenance measures will l be implemented for all
proposed stormwater management practices as specified in Town code section 147-10.0 if the
Town chooses. A draft agreement should be provided to the, "own for review,.

aspects o foundotioun bearing capacity,sliding, overturning, drainage and loading systems. These
are complex systems that slno ld be designed ;by o licensed professional with supporting

5.54 of the "Blue Book"..The standard states that on slopes>33% If, standard sift fence is used the
maximiurn slope length is 40 feet.TheApplicant has >33%slopes and a sllope llength greater than,

11. Section 6.,x.1 of the S M,D M stags 'The bottom of the infiltration facility shall be sepnratedby at

by on-slte soil testing." Sectio n 6.3.1 also states 'To be suitable for infiltration,, undedyin g soils
shoed have an infiltration rate ft)of at least 0.5 inches per hour, o5 initially determinedfrom NRC

D)., 'The minimum,ge-otechnical testing Is one test hole per 5000,sf, with a minimum of two,boring.5
,per, cu (take'n within th'e proposed limits of the facility)."The SWPPP indicates that soil tests
will be, conducted prior to construction to verify 3 feet of separation to,groundwater or bedrock
and design infiltration rates. it is strongly recommended to conduct the spill tests while in the site
plan review stage. If soil conditions, differ frorn what is expected and design changes are made
there, may be further site, plan, review requiredl.
12. Section 6,.3,.,3 of the SMlDM states "if the Fcfcr the underlying soaps is greloter than 5.00 inches per

that the first chaimberr of the Lane,system is being,used for pretreatment, however the HydroCAD
model appears to model exfiltration in, the pretreatment color row. Exffitration cannot be
modeled in a Pretreatment facility.The Applicant to revise, accordling,ly.
