Stormwater: can not increase the rate of flow off the site Stormwater system design is a part of State permitting and will be reviewed by city and state engineers for compliance with regulations. Stormwater flows must be attenuated on the site and can NOT increase flow rates to adjacent properties. Type of Soils: Limited test pits have been done. Site Specific Soils Mapping will be prepared. Geotechnical Borings will be done to review soils Need updated wetlands map, then update site plan and building floor plan before we can target areas for borings.
Potential Stormwater Solutions: Underground Detention Wet Detention Pond
FAQs: Wetlands: Survey being completed in the next few weeks and will have an updated map of wetlands. Any proposed impacts will be subject of state permitting? Wildlife: Will review as part of wetlands DES review? Topography: Approximately 20 vertical variation across the property Abutting properties to the North and West are above where the school will be located
Traffic Study: Reviewing traffic volumes on through lanes Will conduct manual counts at Ida Circle/Eagle Drive and Salmon Falls Road/Whitehall Road intersections Reviewing turning movements, level of service and safety concerns Traffic Impact Study will be used to develop alternatives for site access
