the developer shall install a stormwater sewer system in accordance
with approved plans and profiles. The system shall be designed by
a registered engineer and be approved by the Municipal Engineer. The
developer shall submit all engineering calculations, sketches, maps
upon which the size of conduits, culverts, and other portions of the
proposed storm sewer system has been based using the following criteria:
A. Unless approved by the Commission and the Board of
Commissioners, no change may be made in the existing topography which
would:
(1) Divert water to or from the property of another landowner;
(2) Create a slope which exceeds the angle of repose for
the material involved; but never greater than 2:1 in cut and 3:1 in
fill;
(3) Create a slope that is unprotected from erosion; and
(4) Create within 20 feet of the development's property
line any fill slope with a gradient exceeding 3:1 (horizontal to vertical)
or any cut slope with a gradient exceeding 2:1 (horizontal to vertical),
unless a retaining wall or other structure is provided which is acceptable
to the Township.
B. Surface stormwater controls shall be designed to properly
and safely handle the anticipated peak discharge for a ten-year storm
of appropriate duration, as determined using the methods of the "rational"
equation.
(1) On-site stormwater controls, i.e., retention or detention
ponds, shall be designed and constructed, as required, to insure that
the anticipated peak discharge from the site following development
does not exceed the anticipated peak discharge from the site prior
to construction. The determination of all peak discharges and the
required volume of storage for the retention or detention facility
shall be determined using the methods outlined in the Technical Release
No. 55, USDA Soil Conservation Service. The peak discharge for the
preconstruction condition shall be determined on the basis of a five-year,
twenty-four-hour duration storm. The peak discharge for the post construction
condition shall be determined on the basis of a ten-year, twenty-four-hour
duration storm. The design of all stormwater storage facilities shall
include a pipe spillway designed and proportioned to permit the maximum
allowable discharge for the design storm only. The spillway structure
shall be designed and constructed so as to detain and slowly discharge
the runoff from all lesser storms. An anti-vortex device shall be
installed on the top of the riser pipe of the spillway structure.
The design of the storage facility shall also include an emergency
spillway designed and proportioned to safely accommodate the excess
peak discharge for a twenty-five-year, twenty-four-hour duration storm.
Suitable erosion protection measures shall be included in the design
of the structure. The crest elevation of the riser shall be a minimum
of one foot below the invert of the emergency spillway.
(2) When the above calculated flow from the pond exceeds
the capacity of the downstream facility (pipe, swale or ditch) the
developer shall use the downstream capacity as the maximum capacity
of the outfall structure from the pond or basin.
C. When open drainageways (swales) and retention or detention
devices (ponds) are used for the disposal and/or control of stormwater,
the Commission and Board of Commissioners shall review the design
of such facilities with particular regards for:
(1) Safety. Banks shall not exceed a slope of three feet
of horizontal measurement for each one foot of vertical measurement.
(2) Erosion and sedimentation controls.
(a)
Adequate measures shall be taken to minimize
erosion, channel scouring, and sedimentation throughout each phase
and following the completion of the planned construction. This will
also apply to existing facilities and structures.
(b)
Such measures shall include, but not be limited
to, seeding, sodding, mulching, and velocity controls, including suitable
types of paving or surfacing.
(3) Stagnation. Stagnant pools or swamp areas shall not
be created.
(4) Velocity in open drainageways. Design open drainageways
such that the velocity of the facility does not exceed the ability
of the soil to resist erosion.
D. Inadequate natural surface drainage.
(1) When evidence available to the Township indicates
that natural surface drainage is inadequate, the developer shall install
storm sewers, culverts, and/or other related facilities as necessary
to:
(a)
Permit the controlled flow of the anticipated
peak discharge for the post-construction conditions, as determined
for a ten-year, twenty-four-hour duration storm using the soil-cover
complex method, as outlined in the USDA Soil Conservation Service,
Technical Release No. 55, or a ten-year storm of the appropriate duration
for the site conditions using the Rational Method, whichever is greater;
(b)
Provide positive drainage away from on-site
sewage disposal facilities;
(c)
Provide positive drainage away from new and
existing buildings by ensuring that structures be situated satisfactorily
with respect to established or existing grade of the adjacent street;
and
(d)
Intercept stormwater runoff along streets at
intervals reasonable related to the extent and grade of the area drained,
as required to prevent the accumulation of excessive gutter flow and
insure drainage of all low points along streets.
(2) Inlets shall be spaced along either side of curbed
streets such that water will not spread from the curb to the center
line of the street or flow at a depth greater than four inches at
the normal gutter line. The grate of each inlet may be depressed two
inches below the normal profile of the gutter line. The paving shall
be sloped toward the inlet within an area extending two feet from
all edges of the inlet.
E. The design of storm sewer installations shall give
special consideration to preventing excess runoff to, and/or concentration
of stormwater on, adjacent properties, as required in this chapter.
F. When evidence available to the Commission indicates that existing storm sewers are adequate and accessible, the subdivider may connect his stormwater facilities to the existing storm sewers so long as the peak discharge does not exceed the quantity permitted by Subsection
B(1) of this section.
G. Facilities will be considered available even though
the developer must acquire rights-of-way or easements in order to
connect.
H. Pipe.
(1) Pipes shall be constructed in accordance with the
specifications as set forth in the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation,
Publication 408, as amended.
