Section 4 – Storm Sewer Service

The proposed area of redevelopment was cleared during the first phase of construction and is generally
flat. The proposed hydrology for the redevelopment project area will consist of overland sheet flow and
pipe channel flow. The storm sewer system for this site will consist of 6”, 8” and 12” HDPE pipes connected
by a series of catch basins. Stormwater runoff generated from the site will enter the pipe network and
connect to the existing on-site storm sewer system. Runoff is then conveyed to an existing water quality
treatment structure and underground detention located on the east side of the site. The underground
detention discharges runoff, at a controlled rate, to an existing catch basin along Center Road.The
underground detention system was designed during the initial phase of construction to handle the future
development.

Since the combined area of disturbance for the existing office building and proposed bank was to be over an
acre, a SWPPP was prepared and NYSDEC SPDES Permit was obtained. This Permit has remained open with
weekly inspections being suspended until disturbance for Phase 2 begins. The Permit will then be closed out
following stabilization of the redevelopment activities.

Design Criteria
Storm pipes:  10-year storm
Detention:  Comparison of the existing 1-year vs. the proposed 1-year runoff.
  Comparison of the existing 10-year vs. the proposed 10-year runoff.
  Comparison of the existing 10-year vs. the proposed 25-year runoff.
  Comparison of the existing 100-year vs. the proposed 100-year runoff.

Stormwater Detention Summary:

  Event  Ex. Runoff (cfs)  Prop. Runoff (cfs)  Elevation (ft)  Storage (cf)
  1-yr  2.03  0.96  526.60  1,104
  10-yr  3.83  1.69  527.35  2,548
  25-yr  4.81  2.05  527.83  3,418
  100-yr  6.75  2.85  529.23  5,193

Section 5 – Erosion Control Summary

Stabilization Practices
Stabilization practices for this site include:

A.  Land clearing activities shall be done only in areas where earthwork will be performed and shall
  progress as earthwork is needed.
B.  Use of stabilization fabric for all slopes having a slope greater than 1V:3H.
C.  Permanent seeding and planting of all unpaved areas using the hydromulching grass seeding
  technique.
D.  Mulching exposed areas.
E.  Frequent watering to minimize wind erosion during construction.

Structural Practices
Structural practices for this site include:

A.  Inlet protection using a method detailed in the Construction Documents
B.  Perimeter protection using temporary silt fence
C.  Temporary stone wash off areas
