6. PRESERVATION OF NATURAL DRAINAGE SYSTEM <br />The runoff from the NPGIS improvements will be dispersed as sheet flow over amended <br />soils By not grading or compacting the majority of the pervious surfaces to remain after <br />construction in the area of disturbance a maximum amount of site runoff from the <br />developed project will be absorbed and infiltrated into the existing on -site soils This will <br />mimic the existing conditions by maintaining the existing direction and condition of flow <br />from this site. <br />7. ON -SITE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT <br />The soils for this project were found to be loam with a water table depth between 18 and <br />36 inches below grade Since the parcel size for this project is less than 22,000 sf then <br />dispersion of the NPGIS may be used if infiltration is not feasible. <br />Dispersion of the NPGIS will be done using downspout splash blocks. The proposed roof <br />surfaces total approximately 2,520 sf The proposed roof surfaces for the proposed SFR <br />totals approximately 1,467 sf and a minimum of three downspout splash blocks are <br />required. The proposed roof surfaces for the proposed detached garage totals <br />approximately 1,053 sf and a minimum of two downspout splash blocks are required. <br />Each downspout will not be allowed to collect runoff from more than 700 sf of roof area. <br />The splash blocks for the proposed SFR will disperse runoff east toward a shallow swale <br />to be located along the northern property line The splash blocks for the proposed <br />detached garage will disperse runoff east toward a shallow swale to be located along the <br />southern property line. The swales will drain east. as it makes their way towards the road. <br />A total of approximately 710 sf of PGIS is proposed for this project The runoff generated <br />by the impervious driveway surfaces will be dispersed to the north side of the property and <br />be collected by a shallow swale to be located along the northern property line. The <br />dispersed flow will pass over existing landscaping or amended soils prior to leaving the <br />site or naturally infiltration on -site. This project does not propose to construct more than <br />5,000 sf of PGIS so it is exempt from any water quality treatment systems per Minimum <br />Requirement 6. <br />Finally, any area of the site not proposed to be covered with impervious surfaces but <br />graded or compacted will be treated to meet the criteria for DOE BMP T 5 13. Please <br />refer to the engineering plans for the locations of the soil amendments and additional <br />details. Refer to Appendix A for Soil amendment quantity calculation. <br />8. SUMMARY <br />This project proposes to construct less than 4,000 sf of new impervious surfaces including <br />driveways and roof areas. As a result, the use and land cover for less than 4,000 sf of the <br />site will be converted from pervious to impervious surfaces. On -site stormwater <br />management techniques have been incorporated into the design to mitigate for this land <br />conversion. In addition, based on the proposed improvements for the site drainage design <br />the post developed runoff from the site is expected to increase slightly from the existing <br />system Therefore, the stormwaler design for this project has met or exceeded all of the <br />applicable Minimum Requirements 1-5. <br />Walnut SFR 14-0420 <br />May 2014 age 9 <br />
