sediments as necessary. Excluding the amount of runoff infiltrated during a storm event,
approximately 8,011 cubic feet of WQv storage volume will be available in these chambers.
The small remainder of the vehicle parking lot, shown as Area E on the drainage area map, will
drain southeasterly and be collected by a trench drain at the loading dock and a catch basin in the
corner of the parking lot. Runoff from this area will be treated in a second bank of Stormtech
740 chambers with an Isolator row. Treatment will be by storage and infiltration. Excluding the
amount of runoff infiltrated during a storm event, approximately 1,122 cubic feet of WQv
storage volume will be available in these chambers.
The combined discharge from Areas D & E will be conveyed to an existing swale leading to the
ravine. The end section of this pipe will be protected against erosion with stone fill.
The third area of the building site is shown as Area F on the drainage area map and is composed
mainly of a visitor parking lot and a section of the access road. The soils in this area are not
conducive to infiltration and there is limited area available for surface sand filtration. This area
will receive minimal water quality treatment consisting of pretreatment and approximately 2,000
cubic feet of storage in 20 Stormtech 740 chambers. This quantity of WQv was not included in
the total WQv in the NOI since it consists primarily of pretreatment.
The configuration of the site is such that the access road runs between the baseball field and the
crest of the slope above the ravine. There is very little land available for WQv treatment
between the road and the baseball fields and a geotechnical review of the slopes cautioned
against storing or concentrating water between the road and the crest of the ravine.
Consequently, Area C will only receive WQv treatment that is available in the ditch lines.
Longitudinal surface sand filters have been designed for Area C. These will capture runoff from
the southerly half of the access road and the softball field to the south. The runoff from Area C
will then be directed to an existing discharge pipe that leads to the ravine. Water Quality
volumes for area C were also not included in the total WQv posted in the NOI.
Area B will receive no formal WQv treatment since it consists largely of the runoff from the road
flowing overland across a broad flat grassy area above the ravine. Although not included in the
WQv for the NOI, this water will be treated by flowing across this large expanse of grass.
Area A will receive WQv treatment through a surface sand filter located adjacent to the roadway.
Roadside surface swales will provide pretreatment and convey the runoff to this feature. Once
filtered, the stormwater will be piped to an existing storm manhole. Approximately 1,700 cubic
feet of WQv storage volume will be available in this sand filter.
A total of 7,700 cubic feet of WQv is required for the six drainage areas of the post development
site. The total volume of WQv provided is 10,812 cubic feet. The Water Quality volumes are
shown for the individual areas in the following table.
