Summary The applicant has completed a site plan application for the construction of a new home and associated site work Meeting History: 1st Meeting LaBella Powered by partnership. September 9, 2022 Mr. Craig Brown Zoning Administrator and Code Compliance Officer Town of Queensbury 742 Bay Road Queensbury, New York 12804 Delivered via email only: CraigB@queensbury.net Re: John Arcuri Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York LaBella Project # 2220706.39 Queensbury Ref #SP 61-2022 Dear Mr. Brown: LaBella has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced project. The Applicant is proposing the construction of a single-family four -season house, driveway, wastewater system and appropriate storm water practices. Submitted information includes the following: • Site plans, prepared by SRA Engineering, dated August 5, 2022, and; • Stormwater Control Report, prepared by SRA Engineering, dated August 3, 2022. Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of stormwater system as it relates to compliance with local, state, or relevant codes and regulations. Based upon our review, LaBella offers the following comments for the Town's consideration: Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Comments: 1. According to the site plan review application, the proposed site improvements will disturb less than one (1) acre and thus the project is not required to obtain coverage underthe NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity (GP-0-20-001). Comments related to the stormwater management and erosion and sediment control features proposed for the site are offered below: 2. According to the site plan limit of disturbance and proposed limit of disturbance on the site plan application, this project proposes to disturb +/- 21,521 SF. Projects that disturb greater than 15,000 SF are considered Major Projects per Town code section 147-11.E.(2). In accordance with Town code section 147-11.1.(3)(c), Major Project stormwater control measures shall be designed so that there will be no increase in runoff volume from a ten-year-frequency/twenty-four-hour-duration storm event following development over the predevelopment volume, and for storm events exceeding the ten-year design storm, the stormwater controls measures shall function to attenuate peak runoff flow rates for a twenty -five-year frequency storm to be equal to or less than predevelopment flow rates. The Applicant has provided a stormwater analysis for review. 3. There are inconsistencies between the HydroCAD model and the site plan. For instance, the surface area for 3P at elevation contour 336.00' is modeled in HydroCAD as 540 SF while the site plans depict a surface area of approximately 466 SF. Further, rain garden 413 is depicted to have a bottom of practice of elevation of 361.00 in the HydroCAD model but is stated to have a bottom of practice elevation of 20 Elm Street I Suite 110 j Glens Falls, NY 128o1( p (518) 812-0513 wwwlabellapc.cam 368.50' in the site plans. Further, the basal area contour shall be depicted on the site plans to support a review of the HydroCAD model inputs. The Applicant to revise accordingly to support a full review of the HydroCAD model. 4. Section 147-11.1(3)(c)[3] states, "Infiltration devices shall be designed such that the bottom of the system will be a minimum of two feet above the seasonal high groundwater level to be realized following development." Rain garden 4P is depicted to have a bottom elevation of 368.5' on the site plans (two feet of separation to 366.5'). Test pit 103, the closest test pit conducted in the proximity of practice 4P, appears to be conducted at an existing ground elevation of 373.5 with mottling at 50" or 369.3'. Further, infiltration practice 3P is depicted on the site plans to have a bottom elevation of 364' (two feet of separation to 362'). Test pit 101, the closest test pit conducted in the proximity of practice 3P appears to be conducted at an existing ground elevation of 366.7 with mottling at 35" or 363.8. The results of the test pits do not appear to depict adequate vertical separation from seasonal groundwater. The Applicant to revise the infiltration basins accordingly. 5. The linetypes for the pre- and post -development watershed maps are difficult to discern due to similar linetypes and weighting. We recommend that the linetypes are revised to clearly show the subcatchments. 6. Town Code Section 147-111(3)(c)[4] states that "Infiltration devices for major projects shall be located a minimum of 100 feet from Lake George and any down -gradient drinking water supply, lake, river, protected stream, water well, pond, wetland; a separation of more than 100 feet may be required in cases where contamination of the water supply is possible due to highly permeable soils, shallow groundwater, and similar situations. The separation distance shall be a minimum of 50 feet from up - gradient water supplies. Designs shall mitigate adverse effects that groundwater recharge will have on adjacent wells, water supplies, wastewater treatment systems, buildings, roadways, properties, and stormwater control measures." The 100 feet well setback lines appear to cross the rain garden. Also, the Applicant to depict neighboring water wells, as applicable, including but not limited to west of Knox Road. 7. The Applicant to depict locations of downspouts and leaders to uspport a review of the subcatchment boundaries. 8. The Applicant to describe the method of pre-treatment for the rain garden. 9. Section 147-111(3)(c)(4) of the Town Code states, "Stormwater recharge areas shall be located a minimum of 100 feet from the subsurface treatment system of a wastewater treatment system unless it is demonstrated that a lesser separation will not adversely affect the functioning of such leach fields." In regard to the horizontal separation distance to existing or proposed wastewater absorption systems, our office notes the following. Town code section 147-9 sets the NYS SMDM as the technical standard for stormwater management. The NYS SMDM Section 6.3.1 states, "Infiltration trenches and basins shall be setback 25 feet downgradient from structures and septic systems." It is our opinion that based on Town Code sections 147-9 and 147-11.1(3)(c)([4], the minimum separation distance should be 25 feet and the applicant must demonstrate that a lesser separation (less than 100 feet) will not adversely affect the functioning of the absorption fields. SMA 3P is annotated to be 23 feet from the proposed wastewater system and does not conform to the NYS SMDM section 6.3.1 nor the town code. The Applicant to revise accordingly. Also, the Applicant to depict neighboring absorption systems within reason (10Q feet). 10. The broad crested overflow weir associated with the rain garden 4P is depicted as having an invert elevation of 362.50' in the HydroCAD model but is modeled at elevation 369.0' in the site plans. The Applicant is to revise accordingly. 11. Section 147-11.1.(3)(c)[5] of the Town code states, "Infiltration devices shall be designed to extend a minimum of 10% of the infiltration surface area below the prevailing frost depth or four feet (whichever is greater) in order to provide infiltration during winter months." It does not appear the Applicant has provided additional infiltration capacity within the stormwater management areas for the winter season. The Applicant shall revise accordingly to demonstrate conformance to the Town code. 12. The infiltration forebay has an overflow weir elevation of 366.5' prior to entry to the infiltration practice, also it appears that 366.5' is the elevation for the forebay to overflow west along the proposed driveway. The Applicant to depict additional spot grades to support the conveyance or revise the grading plan to support the intent of the forebay to overflow only to the infiltration basin. Erosion & Sediment Control 13. The Applicant shall add the erosion control measures specified within Section 147-11.J of the Town Code to the erosion and sediment control plan. 14. The site plans do not appear to depict how the infiltration areas will be protected during construction. Section 6.3.6 of the NYS SMDM states "Infiltration practices shall never serve as a sediment control device during site construction phase. In addition, the Erosion and Sediment Control plan for the site shall clearly indicate how sediment will be prevented from entering an infiltration facility." The Applicant to revise accordingly. Conclusion & Recommendation It is our opinion that the applicant should provide clarification for the above items and incorporate changes in subsequent plan submissions. In the event the Planning Board or Town staff have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at (518) 824-1932.
