December 13, 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: Nasrani Subdivision Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York Labella Project # 2220706.53 Queensbury Ref #SD12-2022 Dear Mr. Brown: LaBella Associates has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced project. The Applicant is proposing a 3-lot residential subdivision with 2 new residential building lots. Information submitted to our office for review includes the following: • Project narrative letter dated September 15, 2022; • Site plans titled "Nasrani Subdivision", prepared by Jarrett Engineers, PLLC, dated September 15, 2022; • Survey of Lands N/F Paul N. Nasrani & Envar Mir, prepared by Darrah Land Surveying, PLCC, dated February 25, 2022. • Site plan review application and Full Environmental Assessment Form, and; • Town of Queensbury Freshwater Wetlands Permit Application. Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of stormwater system as it relates to compliance of 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 environmental assessment form and site plans, the proposed site improvements will disturb less than one (1) acre and thus the project is not required to obtain coverage under the 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. It is unclear if the disturbance area includes the proposed grading and grading runout as it does not appear that proposed grading is provided on the site plans. Also, it does not appear that the disturbance limits extend to the proposed work at the intersection with Bay Road. The Applicant to revise accordingly and provide the proposed grading. 3. Section 179-6-080.A, B, and C of the Town Code state the following: 20 Elm Street ! Suite 110 ( Glens Falls, NY 128o1 1 p (518) 812-0513 www.tabeltapc.com ❑ § 179-6-080 Stormwater runoff. A. A stormwater pollution prevention plan consistent with the requirements of Town Code Chapter 147, Stormwater Management, shall be required as part of the site plan approval process- B. The stormwater drainage plan shall analyze the impacts of the project using at least a t"venty-five-year return interval storm for residential projects and a fifty-year return interval storm for commercial or industrial projects, and using the analysis procedures in the Town of Queensbury Subdivision Regulations E'3 i ] Editors Note: See Ch. A 783, Subdivision of Land C. All stormwater management plans shall be designed so that post -development run-off rates and volumes are equal to or less than pre -development run-off- Post -development direction of flow and type of discharge shall be the same as pre -development conditions. The application is for a residential project. As such, a stormwater drainage plan shall be provided that shows, at all design points, the 25-year return interval storm runoff rates and volumes do not exceed the pre -development condition. A stormwater drainage plan was not provided with this submission. The Applicant to provide a stormwater drainage plan in subsequent submissions. 4. The existing topography and proposed grading do not appear to be provided. The Applicant to provide in subsequent submissions to support review of the stormwater drainage plan. 5. There does not appear to be soil tests nor infiltration test results in support of the proposed stormwater facilities. Our office assumes that the proposed rain gardens will be designed with infiltration in order to meet the 25-year storm requirements and completely dewater such that the full capacity will be available for the next storm. The Applicant to perform soil tests and infiltration tests in support of the design. The Applicant should ensure that soil testing for the proposed infiltration practices meets the requirements specified in Appendix D of the SMDM. 6. The Applicant to revise the site plans to depict existing neighboring wells (as applicable) and septic systems to understand horizontal separation distances. It appears that the plan depicts stormwater practices that may be used as an infiltration practice. It is noted that the NYS SMDM 6.3.1 states: "Infiltration facilities shall be located at least 100 feet horizontally from any watersupp/y well. Infiltration trenches and basins shall be setback 25 feet downgradient from structures and septic systems." 7. The Applicant should clarify the method of pre-treatment prior to entry to the stormwater practice. 8. It does not appear that the site plans depict the erosion and sediment controls, only details are provided. The Applicant to revise the site plans accordingly. 9. The standards and specifications for winter stabilization of the NYS SSESC requires "A temporary site specific, enhanced erosion and sediment control plan to manage runoff and sediment at the site during construction activities in the winter months to protect off -site water resources. This standard applies to all construction activities involved with ongoing land disturbance and exposure between November 15th to the following April 1st." The Applicant to clarify if construction will occur during the winter months. If so, the Applicant should provide a separate, temporary site -specific enhanced erosion and sediment control plan if construction activities with ongoing land disturbance and exposure is planned between November 15th to the following April 1st. This erosion and sediment control plan shall conform to all requirements of the winter stabilization specification referenced above. 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.

Meeting History: PB: 5/19/2022; ZBA: 7/27/2022 LaBeRa Powered by partnership. December 15, 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: Mann - 3 Lot Subdivision Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York Labella Project # 2220706.51 Queensbury Ref #SUB 15-2022 Dear Mr. Brown: LaBella Associates has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced project. The Applicant proposes a 3-lot residential subdivision. Information submitted to our office for review includes the following: • Lot Width Calculation Plan, prepared by Hutchins Engineering PLLC, dated September 25, 2022; • Cover letter, prepared by Hutchins Engineering PLLC, dated November 10, 2022; • Stormwater Management Plan, prepared by Hutchins Engineering PLLC, dated November 9, 2022; • Site Plans, prepared by Hutchins Engineering PLLC, dated November 11, 2022; and, • Subdivision Application, prepared by Hutchins Engineering PLLC, dated November 2, 2022. Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of the stormwater system as it relates to compliance of 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. There are two applications for Jeff and Joanne Mann, Subdivision 14-2022 and Subdivision 15-2022. The stormwater management narrative and draft NOI combine the two subdivisions as it relates to stormwater permitting. According to the draft NOI (both projects combined), the proposed site improvements appear to disturb greater 1 acre (20.5 acres per the draft NOI), which typically requires the preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in accordance with GP-0-20-001 that includes erosion and sediment controls, as well as post construction stormwater management practices. Lot 5 is tributary to waters of the state classified as AA/AA-s and Lot 5 appears to include greater than 1 acre of land disturbance on virgin land with a slope phase of E or F. Per I.F.6 of the General Permit, Lot 5 would be ineligible for coverage under the General Permit. Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 would require the preparation of a SWPPP in accordance with the General Permit, however the inclusion of Lot 5 in the NOI would require the project to seek individual SPDES permit coverage. The Applicant acknowledges this situation in Section 4.10 of the SWPPP and states 20 Elm Street ; Suite 110 ! Glens Falls, NY 128011 p (518) 812-0513 wwww.Labellapc.com "Therefore, an individual SPDES permit will be required from NYSDEC for this lot prior to beginning construction as designed for the subdivision." Our office understands the Applicant's approach that a General Permit is prepared for all lots except Lot 5, where an individual SPDES permit is required if it is built per the plans submitted with this application. Since the SWPPP states each lot SPDES permit coverage is transferred to each respective purchaser and Lot 5 may be developed per the plans provided in this submission (requiring individual permit coverage for Lot 5), the Applicant shall submit the SWPPP to NYS DEC for individual permit coverage for Lot 5. When submitting to NYS DEC for Lot 5 individual coverage the Applicant should seek concurrence from DEC on this approach. It is noted that our office does not take exception to this approach so long as Lot 5 is submitted to NYS DEC for individual permit coverage. 2. Additionally, this project falls within the Lake George watershed and therefore is subject to the stormwater management requirements set forth in Section 147-11 of the Town Code for projects within the Lake George Park. Comments related to the stormwater management and erosion and sediment control features proposed for the site are offered below: 3. 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)[2], Major Projects 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. For development greater than five acres, consistent with New York State guidelines, stormwater control measures shall function to attenuate peak runoff flow rates for a one -hundred -year storm to be equal to or less than predevelopment flow rates. The Applicant has provided a 10-year, 25-year and 100-year storm analysis. 4. 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 /each fields." It appears that IBL6 and IBL8D infiltration basins are within 100 feet of the proposed wastewater systems. Further IBL8D appears to be uphill and in the direct path of the absorption field. The Applicant to revise accordingly or demonstrate that a lesser separation will no adversely affect the functioning of the absorption fields. 5. Section 147-111(3)(c)[4] of the town code states, "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 SWPPP states "Stormwater management practices setback relief was granted by the Town of Queensbury's Zoning Board of Appeals in July 2022 to allow infiltration practices to be situated 50-ft horizontally from water features (wetlands, stream)." The Applicant to clarify that this applies to all infiltration practices for all lots. 6. Section 147-111(3)(c)[3] of the town code requires infiltration devices to be a minimum of two feet above the seasonal high groundwater level realized following development and 147-111(3)(c)[6] states the infiltration devices shall be designed based on the infiltration capacity of the soils preset at the project site. Further, Section 6.3.1. of the 2015 NYS Stormwater Management Design Manual (SMDM) states that, "To be suitable for infiltration, underlying soils shall have an infiltration rate (fc) of 0.5 inches per hour, as initially determined from NRCS soil textural classification, and subsequently confirmed by geotechnical tests (see Appendix D). The minimum geotechnical testing is one test hole per 5000 sf, with a minimum of two borings per facility (taken within the proposed limits of the facility)." (Please note that the DEC's FAQ allows minimum of one test pit/boring and one infiltration test for every 5000 square feet of basin area, with no fewer than four test pit/boring and infiltration tests per facility.). It does not appear that testing was performed within the bounds of each infiltration practice. The Applicant to perform the testing per the NYS SMDM and provide the results. 7. Site data, as it relates to horizontal separation distances, shall be provided (or described) west of the proposed access road and north of Pickle Hill Road to confirm required separation distances. 8. The Applicant shall model all stormwater conveyances and diversion trenches to support the design. 9. The NYS SMDM states that "Infiltration practices cannot be located on areas with natural slopes greater than 15%" and "Infiltration practices cannot be located in fill soils". It appears the site has slopes throughout the site that exceed 15%, including in the locations of the infiltration practices. Previous correspondence received from the NYS DEC regarding projects with similar concerns of locating stormwater features in fill slopes has resulted in the following recommendations: "At a minimum, the designer must meet the following guidance and provide justification/demonstration of equivalence in the SWPPP: • Insitu/natural soil layer below the infiltration system has an infiltration rate greater than or equal to the 0.5 in/hr • Ground water and bedrock levels in insitu/natural soil should be at least 2 - 3 feet below grade • Fill material is an engineered fill that is tested after placement (by geotechnical firm) and demonstrated to be equivalent to a soil material acceptable for the installation of an infiltration system (i.e. infiltration rate greater than or equal to .5 in/hr, etc.). Infiltration rate of fill material should be similar infiltration rate as insitu/existing soil. • If there is a difference in the infiltration rates between the fill and insitu/native soil, the designer should use the more conservative (i.e. slower infiltration rate) when determining whether the infiltration system will dewater (exfiltrate) with the required 48 hours (see Section 6.3.2 "Conveyance' of the Design Manual) • Required vertical separation distances to groundwater/bedrock are maintained • Required horizontal separation distances to surface waters, wells, etc. are maintained • There is adequate fill along the edges of the infiltration system to prevent seeps/breakouts" DEC has indicated that with regards to the 15% limit, they have allowed designers to use the cut/fill approach provided the criteria above is met. As such, the Applicant should demonstrate compliance with the provisions outlined by the DEC. 10. The Applicant indicates within Section 5.0 of the SWPPP that an inquiry has been made to the NYS DEC regarding impacts to endangered and threatened species as it relates to the development of the site. The Applicant shall provide correspondence once received and include it into the SWPPP per I.F.4 of the General Permit. 11. The Applicant indicates within Section 6.0 of the SWPPP that an inquiry has been made to NYS OPRHP regarding Archeological Resources and Historic Places as it relates to the development of the site. The Applicant shall provide correspondence once received and include it into the SWPPP per I.F.8 of the General Permit. 12. It appears that there are inconsistencies between the HydroCAD model and the site plans. For example, the site plans depict infiltration practice IBL8E, which is not included in the HydroCAD model and the HydroCAD model includes practice IBD8 but is not depicted on the site plans. The Applicant to revise accordingly. 13. It is difficult to discern rooftop runoff directions as it does not appear that roof conveyances area depicted on the plans. The Applicant shall depict roof conveyances, as applicable, on the site plans in subsequent submission. 14. 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 shall revise the plans to clearly indicate how sediment will be prevented from entering the infiltration facilities during the site construction phase. 15. It does not appear that the Applicant has depicted the location nor provided design details fortemporary soil stockpiles on the site plans. The Applicant to revise accordingly. 16. The Applicant to depict, within reason, the locations of water wells and wastewater absorption fields on all neighboring parcels to confirm adequate horizontal separation distances. 17. The Applicant to confirm if the stone walls depicted are on the site plans are existing or proposed. 18. The Applicant has provided a draft NOI for the old permit GP-0-15-001 and shall provide an updated NOI that conforms to the new General Permit (GP-0-20-001). 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.

December 15, 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@aueensbury.net Re: Mann - 5 Lot Subdivision Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York LaBella Project # 2220706.52 Queensbury Ref #SUB 14-2022 Dear Mr. Brown: LaBella Associates has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced project. The Applicant proposes a 5-lot residential subdivision. Information submitted to our office for review includes the following: • Lot Width Calculation Plan, prepared by Hutchins Engineering PLLC, dated September 25, 2022; • Cover letter, prepared by Hutchins Engineering PLLC, dated November 10, 2022; • Stormwater Management Plan, prepared by Hutchins Engineering PLLC, dated November 9, 2022; • Site Plans, prepared by Hutchins Engineering PLLC, dated November 11, 2022; and, • Subdivision Application, prepared by Hutchins Engineering PLLC, dated November 2, 2022. Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of the stormwater system as it relates to compliance of 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. There are two applications for Jeff and Joanne Mann, Subdivision 14-2022 and Subdivision 15-2022. The stormwater management narrative and draft N01 combine the two subdivisions as it relates to stormwater permitting. According to the draft N01 (both projects combined), the proposed site improvements appear to disturb greater 1 acre (20.5 acres per the draft N01), which typically requires the preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in accordance with GP-0-20-001 that includes erosion and sediment controls, as well as post construction stormwater management practices. Lot 5 is tributary to waters of the state classified as AA/AA-s and Lot 5 appears to include greater than 1 acre of land disturbance on virgin land with a slope phase of E or F. Per I.F.6 of the General Permit, Lot 5 would be ineligible for coverage under the General Permit. Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 would require the preparation of a SWPPP in accordance with the General Permit, however the inclusion of Lot 5 in the N01 would require the project to seek individual SPDES permit coverage. The Applicant acknowledges this situation in Section 4.10 of the SWPPP and states 20 Elm Street Suite 110 1 Glens Falls. NY 128o1 I p (518) 812-0513 www1abetlapc.corn "Therefore, an individual SPDES permit will be required from NYSDEC for this lot prior to beginning construction as designed for the subdivision." Our office understands the Applicant's approach that a General Permit is prepared for all lots except Lot 5, where an individual SPDES permit is required if it is built perthe plans submitted with this application. Since the SWPPP states each lot SPDES permit coverage is transferred to each respective purchaser and Lot 5 may be developed per the plans provided in this submission (requiring individual permit coverage for Lot 5), the Applicant shall submit the SWPPP to NYS DEC for individual permit coverage for Lot 5. When submitting to NYS DEC for Lot 5 individual coverage the Applicant should seek concurrence from DEC on this approach. It is noted that our office does not take exception to this approach so long as Lot 5 is submitted to NYS DEC for individual permit coverage. 2. Additionally, this project falls within the Lake George watershed and therefore is subject to the stormwater management requirements set forth in Section 147-11 of the Town Code for projects within the Lake George Park. Comments related to the stormwater management and erosion and sediment control features proposed for the site are offered below: 3. 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)[2], Major Projects 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. For development greater than five acres, consistent with New York State guidelines, stormwater control measures shall function to attenuate peak runoff flow rates for a one -hundred -year storm to be equal to or less than predevelopment flow rates. The Applicant has provided a 10-year, 25-year and 100-year storm analysis. 4. 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." It appears that I131-113, I131-213, I131-313, IBL3C, IBL4A, I131-413, and IBL5D infiltration basins are within 100 feet of the proposed wastewater systems. The Applicant to revise accordingly or demonstrate that a lesser separation will no adversely affect the functioning of the absorption fields. 5. Section 147-111(3)(c)[4] of the town code states, "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 SWPPP states "Stormwater management practices setback relief was granted by the Town of Queensbury's Zoning Board of Appeals in July 2022 to allow infiltration practices to be situated 50-ft horizontally from water features (wetlands, stream)." The Applicant to clarify that this applies to all infiltration practices for all lots. 6. Section 147-111(3)(c)[3] of the town code requires infiltration devices to be a minimum of two feet above the seasonal high groundwater level realized following development and 147-111(3)(c)[6] states the infiltration devices shall be designed based on the infiltration capacity of the soils preset at the project site. Further, Section 6.3.1. of the 2015 NYS Stormwater Management Design Manual (SMDM) states that, "To be suitable for infiltration, underlying soils shall have an infiltration rate (fc) of 0.5 inches per hour, as initially determined from NRCS soil textural classification, and subsequently confirmed by geotechnical tests (see Appendix D). The minimum geotechnical testing is one test hole per 5000 sf, with a minimum of two borings per facility (taken within the proposed limits of the facility)." (Please note that the DEC's FAQ allows minimum of one test pit/boring and one infiltration test for every 5000 square feet of basin area, with no fewer than four test pit/boring and infiltration tests per facility.). It does not appear that testing was performed within the bounds of each infiltration practice. The Applicant to perform the testing per the NYS SMDM and provide the results. 7. Site data, as it relates to horizontal separation distances, shall be provided (or described) north of Pickle Hill Road to confirm required separation distances. 8. The Applicant shall model all stormwater conveyances and diversion trenches to support the design. 9. The NYS SMDM states that "Infiltration practices cannot be located on areas with natural slopes greater than 15%" and "Infiltration practices cannot be located in fill soils". It appears the site has slopes throughout the site that exceed 15%, including in the locations of the infiltration practices. Previous correspondence received from the NYS DEC regarding projects with similar concerns of locating stormwater features in fill slopes has resulted in the following recommendations: "At a minimum, the designer must meet the following guidance and provide justification/demonstration of equivalence in the SWPPP: • Insitu/natural soil layer below the infiltration system has an infiltration rate greater than or equal to the 0.5 in/hr • Ground water and bedrock levels in insitu/natural soil should be at least 2 - 3 feet below grade • Fill material is an engineered fill that is tested after placement (by geotechnical firm) and demonstrated to be equivalent to a soil material acceptable for the installation of an infiltration system (i.e. infiltration rate greater than or equal to .5 in/hr, etc.). Infiltration rate of fill material should be similar infiltration rate as insitu/existing soil. • If there is a difference in the infiltration rates between the fill and insitu/native soil, the designer should use the more conservative (i.e. slower infiltration rate) when determining whether the infiltration system will dewater (exfiltrate) with the required 48 hours (see Section 6.3.2 "Conveyance' of the Design Manual) • Required vertical separation distances to groundwater/bedrock are maintained • Required horizontal separation distances to surface waters, wells, etc. are maintained • There is adequate fill along the edges of the infiltration system to prevent seeps/breakouts" DEC has indicated that with regards to the 15% limit, they have allowed designers to use the cut/fill approach provided the criteria above is met. As such, the Applicant should demonstrate compliance with the provisions outlined by the DEC. 10. The Applicant indicates within Section 5.0 of the SWPPP that an inquiry has been made to the NYS DEC regarding impacts to endangered and threatened species as it relates to the development of the site. The Applicant shall provide correspondence once received and include it into the SWPPP per I.F.4 of the General Permit. 11. The Applicant indicates within Section 6.0 of the SWPPP that an inquiry has been made to NYS OPRHP regarding Archeological Resources and Historic Places as it relates to the development of the site. The Applicant shall provide correspondence once received and include it into the SWPPP per I.F.8 of the General Permit. 12. It appears that there are inconsistencies between the HydroCAD model and the site plans. For example, IBL2D and IBL4C are modeled but not depicted on the site plans and IBL2C is depicted twice on the site plans. The Applicant to revise accordingly. 13. The site plans include an arch culvert stream crossing for Lot 3. The Applicant to clarify who the AHJ of the stream is and clarify if the design has been sent to them for review. 14. It is difficult to discern rooftop runoff directions as it does not appear that roof conveyances area depicted on the plans. The Applicant shall depict roof conveyances, as applicable, on the site plans in subsequent submission. 15. 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 shall revise the plans to clearly indicate how sediment will be prevented from entering the infiltration facilities during the site construction phase. 16. Town code section 147-9 stipulates the NYS SSESC as the performance and design criteria. The Landgrading section of the NYS SSESC states that "When slopes exceed 2[H]:1[V], special design and stabilization consideration are required and shall be adequatelyshown on the plans."The Applicant has provided a detail for an armored slope stabilization. The armored slope stabilization shall be designed in accordance with the NYS SSESC standard specifications for armored slope and channel stabilization. The NYS SSESC states "Slopes approaching 1.5[H]:1[V] may require special stability analysis. The inherent stability of the soil must be satisfactory before riprap is used for surface stabilization." The site plans and detail depict the rock armored slope on slopes approaching 1H:1V. The Applicant to clarify if a special stability analysis was performed or will be performed prior to construction. The NYS SSESC states that the gradient of the slope to be stabilized shall be less than the natural angle of repose of the stone selected. The Applicant to clarify if the slope gradient will be less than the natural angle of repose for the rock selected. 17. The road and embankment grading from station approximately 9+00 to 7+00 create proposed slopes of approximately 1.5H:1V. At the base of the embankment appears to be a conceptual diversion trench (not completely graded in) that extends up the driveway to approximately 10+50. The Applicant to clarify if a special stability analysis has been performed on the embankment. The Applicant to clarify if the rock armored slope detail considers this embankment situation where flow is concentrated at the toe of the slope. The grading runout and diversion trench appear to outside the existing topographic information. The Applicant shall provide additional topographic information to support final design. The proximity to parcel 265: 1-24 should also be considered in the design. Further, the diversion trench referenced above appears to convey runoff from subcatchment 1S, which according to the HydroCAD model is approximately 36 acres. The diversion trench is not included in the HydroCAD model. Has the Applicant considered the size of the tributary watershed when designing the road embankment and diversion trench? 18. The rock cut slope west of the proposed home on Lot 5 appears to be 1H:2V. The Applicant to clarify if a special stability analysis has been performed on this cut slope. Further, the Applicant should clarify the method of rock removal. The NYS SSESC section on Landgrading prescribes specifications for cut slopes occurring on ripable rock. 19. It does not appear that the Applicant has depicted the location nor provided design details for temporary soil stockpiles on the site plans. The Applicant to revise accordingly. 20. The Applicant to depict, within reason, the locations of water wells and wastewater absorption fields on all neighboring parcels to confirm adequate horizontal separation distances. 21. The Applicant has provided a draft N01 for the old permit GP-0-15-001 and shall provide an updated NO1 that conforms to the new General Permit (GP-0-20-001). Conclusion & Recommendation It is our opinion that the applicant should provide clarification for the above items and incorporate changes in subsequent plan submissions.
