[1997 Code § 224-154]
The standards of the City of Absecon City as established within the various zoning districts of the City (Articles IV to XVII) and as listed in this Article are to be considered minimum. Prior to the granting of final approvals for subdivision or site plan, the developer shall have installed improvements required by the Planning Board or have posted a performance guaranty sufficient to cover the costs of said improvements. Improvements may include those recommended by State and County agencies which have participated in the review. Construction standards and required improvements are intended to protect the general health, safety and welfare. In certain instances, all of the improvements listed in this Article may not be appropriate, in which case the Planning Board may issue a waiver. Standards established within this chapter and those hereafter adopted by the City shall govern design, construction and installation of improvements within the City of Absecon City. Failure by a subdivider, developer, constructor or agent to conform to these specifications shall be just cause for suspension of work without right to claim damages from the City, its officers or agents for such stoppage.
[1997 Code § 224-155]
In the event that the City has not adopted standards for a specific
type of improvement, generally accepted engineering standards as set
forth in accepted engineering and construction manuals and modified
as necessary by the City Engineer shall be used.
[1997 Code § 224-156]
A.
Prior to construction, all stakes and grades shall be set by a licensed
land surveyor and a set of the notes resulting shall be filed with
the City Engineer. Before work commences, the City Engineer shall
be notified, and under no circumstances shall underground work be
covered until inspected by the appropriate official.
B.
If, during construction, the subdivider/developer fails to meet specified
requirements or to correct unacceptable work, he shall be notified
of such failure by certified mail, return receipt requested, with
instructions for correcting the situation. If corrections have not
been made within 10 days, the City shall serve the subdivider/developer
with notice of failure to comply, with a copy to the Planning Board,
and work may be suspended.
[1997 Code § 224-157]
A.
Prior to and during construction, no topsoil shall be removed from
the site or utilized as fill without approval of the Construction
Official or City Engineer. Soil displaced by construction shall be
redistributed so as to provide a six-inch base throughout the development,
which shall be stabilized by seeding and planting.
B.

All fill shall be clean and free of decaying materials.
D.
No changes shall be made in elevations or contours on the site other
than those shown and approved on the preliminary plat.
E.
During construction, the site shall be left daily in sanitary and
safe condition. The Construction Official may require installation
or construction of temporary improvements on the site to prevent personal
injury, property damage, health hazards, erosion and flooding. Such
improvements may include grading, retaining walls, pipes, culverts
and other site-specific improvements to limit negative impacts.
F.
Where existing materials and soil conditions are not satisfactory
for utility and street construction, the unsatisfactory material shall
be excavated and replaced with approved fill.

to better fit design.
(4)
In areas where groundwater elevation or soil conditions make
subbase instability likely, the sewer shall be designed for these
conditions.
(5)
Sewer lines and waterlines shall be separated 10 feet horizontally
and 18 inches vertically or as approved by regulatory agencies.
(6)
Manholes shall be located at the end of each sewer line, at
maximum distances of 400 feet and in intersections, and all changes
in slope, pipe size and direction shall be confined to manholes.
F.
Water supply.
(1)
Provisions shall be made and shown on a set of plans accompanying
the preliminary plat for adequate water supply to each lot. In addition
to locations and diameters of pipes, hydrants, blowoffs and valves,
the plan submitted shall include:
(a)
Capacity and size of mains. Design capacity of mains shall be
such as to provide a minimum pressure of 20 pounds per square inch
at peak demand plus fire flow. All pipes used in water mains shall
be ductile iron with a minimum diameter of six inches.
(b)
General design requirements. Wherever possible, distribution
mains shall be laid in the loop system to eliminate dead ends. Dead
ends, if unavoidable, shall have a fire hydrant, flushing hydrant

18 inches below the water main or with other such separation as approved
by the regulatory or permitting agencies.
(2)
At crossings of sewers and water mains, the sewer shall, in
general, be at least 18 inches below the bottom of the water main.
Where this is not possible, the sewer shall be constructed of cast-iron
pipe for a distance of at least 10 feet on either side of the crossing
or other suitable protection as approved by regulatory or permitting
agencies.
G.
Stormwater. Provisions shall be made and shown on a set of plans
accompanying the preliminary plat for collection and conveyance of

| ||
|
Where:
| ||
|
"Q" is the required capacity in cubic feet per second for the
collection system at the point of design.
| ||
|
"A" is the tributary drainage area in acres and shall include
areas tributary from outside sources as well as from within the subdivision
itself.
| ||
|
"I" is the rainfall intensity in inches per hour and shall be
determined from Rainfall Intensity Duration Curves for New Jersey,
as prepared by the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

(2)
Flow design criteria shall be based upon a design storm that
will be equaled or exceeded on a frequency of once every 15 years.
System design will be based upon Manning Formula. "N" valves (coefficient
of friction) used shall be approved by the reviewing engineer. The
minimum velocity at flowing full condition shall be three feet per
second.
(3)
The system of collection shall include:
(a)
Curbs six inches wide and 18 inches deep constructed of Class
B concrete and true required lines, grades and curvatures.
(b)
Catch basins and manholes constructed in accordance with New
Jersey Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, latest
revision. Access manholes shall be required at three-hundred-foot
intervals. Sufficient catch basins will be installed at each intersection
to avoid gutter overflow and at low points in street grades. Bicycle-safe
grates shall be used in all catch basins.
(c)
Reinforced concrete pipe shall be utilized which shall be minimally
15 inches in diameter laid in straight alignment. All transitions
in slope, change of direction or pipe size shall be confined to manholes
or catch basins. Such pipes shall conform to AASHOM 170 for specified
diameter and strength class. Installation shall be inspected by the
appropriate City official and shall be in accordance with accepted
engineering practice.
(d)
Catch basins shall be spaced so that the runoff water in gutters
does not create flooding in streets for a fifteen-year-storm-frequency
design. Calculations shall be submitted verifying both the depth of
water in gutters and that proposed catch basins are of sufficient
capacity to remove design stormwater runoff.
(e)
In certain limited traffic areas, concrete valley gutters shall
be permitted at "T" intersections.
(f)
In no case shall provisions for storm drainage overload an existing facility, and in those instances where increased flow may create increased potential for erosion or flooding, the subdivider/developer may be required to improve the off-tract facility in accordance with Article XXIV, Section 224-179.
(g)
Where a subdivision is transversed by a watercourse, surface
water or groundwater drainage or drainage system, channel or stream
or a dedicated drainage right-of-way easement at least 10 feet in
width shall be granted to the City of Absecon City.
(h)
Construction of all drainage facilities shall conform to the
specifications contained herein. In the event that detailed specifications
are not included, standard specifications of the New Jersey Department
of Transportation, latest revision, shall govern.
H.
Stormwater management system.
(1)
Provision shall be made to control stormwater runoff, using
the following general guidelines:
(a)
Channeling runoff directly to water bodies should be discontinued.
Instead, runoff should be routed through swales and other drainage
systems designed to increase the time of concentration, decrease velocity,
increase infiltration and allow suspended material to settle.
(b)
Natural watercourses should not be dredged, cleared of vegetation,
deepened, widened, straightened, stabilized or otherwise altered without
a stream encroachment permit from the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection, Division of Water Resources, Bureau of Floodplain Management.
Water should be retained or detained before it enters any natural
watercourse in order to preserve the natural hydrodynamics of the
watercourse and to prevent siltation or other forms of pollution.
(c)
Retention and detention facilities shall be used to retain and
detain the increased accelerated runoff which the development generates.
Water should be released from detention facilities into a watercourse
or wetlands at a rate and in a manner approximating the natural flow
which occurred before development. Care must be taken, since the design
of detention/retention facilities without an associated analysis of
downstream impact can create increased stormwater runoff problems
even when a stormwater management system is in place.
(d)
The sides of detention and/or retention basins shall slope at
a gentle grade into the basin bottom as a safeguard against drowning
and personal injury and to ensure the structural integrity of the
facility.
(e)
The bottom of all proposed retention structures shall be at
least two feet above the seasonal high water table found in the soil
logs. In the event of impervious strata, provision shall be made for
percolation through this strata.
(f)
Runoff from parking areas should incorporate measures (i.e.,
grit and oil chamber or sediment traps) to prevent oil and sediment
from entering receiving waters and/or clogging the interstices, preventing
infiltration in subsurface recharge and/or retention facilities.
(g)
Artificial watercourses, such as swales, should be designed
considering soil type, so that the velocity of flow is low enough
to prevent erosion.
(h)
Intermittent watercourses, such as swales, should be vegetated.
(i)
The area of land disturbed by development should be as small
as practicable (footprint: only removing the vegetation necessary
to build the structure). Those areas which are not to be disturbed
should be protected by an adequate barrier from construction activity
using acceptable soil erosion and sedimentation control techniques.
Whenever possible, natural vegetation should be retained and protected.
(j)
Although the use of wetlands for storing and purifying water
is sometimes encouraged, care must be taken not to overload their
capacity, thereby harming wetlands and transitional vegetation. Wetlands
should be not damaged by the construction of detention ponds.
(k)
Wetlands and other water bodies should not be used as sediment
traps during development.
(l)
Vegetated buffer strips should be created or, where practicable,
retained in their natural state along the banks of all watercourses,
water bodies or wetlands. The width of the buffer should be sufficient
to prevent erosion, trap the sediment carried with overland runoff,
provide access to the water body and allow for periodic flooding without
damage to structures.
(m)
The use of drainage facilities and vegetated buffer zones as
open space, recreation and conservation areas should be encouraged.
(n)
Erosion and sedimentation facilities should receive regular
maintenance during construction to ensure that they continue to function
properly.
(o)
No grading, cutting or filling should be commenced until the
plan is approved by the Municipal and County Planning Boards and the
Soil Conservation District.
(p)
Land which has been cleared for development and upon which construction
has not commenced should be protected from erosion by appropriate
techniques designed to revegetate the area.
(q)
Adherence to the development time schedule contained in the
erosion and sediment control plan should be followed.
(r)
Sediment should be retained on the development site.
(s)
Volumes and rate of runoff are to remain at predevelopment levels
for the two-, ten- and fifty-year storm.
(t)
The developer shall formulate a maintenance plan for retention
and detention facilities. This plan shall include maintenance schedules,
type of maintenance required and a periodic inspection program. In
the case of homeowner or condominium associations or commercial development,
the plan shall include provisions for inspection at specified intervals
by the City Engineer. The cost of such inspections shall be borne
by the applicant or developer.
(2)
Stormwater management plan, details and design criteria:
(a)
The proposed finished grade elevations at the corners of any
structure or structures.
(b)
Existing topography and proposed grading at contour intervals
of two feet or less.
(c)
The lowest elevation within any proposed structure after its
completion.
(d)
The location, type and size of all existing and proposed storm
drainage facilities and other utilities servicing the premises in
question.
(e)
The location, size and nature of all existing and proposed drainage
rights-of-way or easements and the location, size and description
of any land to be dedicated to the City.
(f)
The layout and size of any existing and proposed public streets.
(g)
The location, type and size of all existing and proposed erosion
and siltation control measures, such as slope protection, soil stabilization,
sedimentation basins, sediment traps, headwalls and water retention
facilities.
(h)
All the pertinent rainfall data, stream flow data, gaugings,
etc., on which calculations were based.
(i)
Complete calculations and hydraulic profiles for normal, average
and storm of record.
(j)
In addition, the developer shall furnish information relating
to subsurface conditions, based on percolation tests and soil borings
or probes. Borings to determine depth to seasonal high water shall
be witnessed and be approved by the engineer.
(3)
No land area, except for single- or two-family residential construction
not part of a major subdivision, shall be developed such that:
(a)
The volume and/or rate of stormwater runoff occurring at the
area is increased over what occurred there under conditions existing
on or before the effective date of this chapter. The Planning Board
engineer shall determine storm frequencies to be used in the design
of stormwater management facilities.
(b)
The drainage of adjacent areas is adversely affected.
(c)
Soil erosion during and after development is increased over
what naturally occurs there.
(d)
Soil absorption and groundwater recharge capacity of the area
is decreased below the conditions existing on or before the effective
date of this chapter.
(e)
The natural drainage pattern of the area is significantly altered.
(4)
In order to duplicate as nearly as possible natural drainage
conditions, regulation and control of stormwater runoff and erosion
shall be through on-site stormwater retention and/or ground absorption
systems which include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a)
Detention areas, which may be depressions in parking areas,
excavated basins or basins created through use of curbs, or any other
form of grading which serves to temporarily impound and store water.
(b)
Rooftop storage through temporary impoundment and storage of
stormwater on flat or slightly pitched building rooftops by use of
drain outlets which restrict the stormwater runoff from the roof surface.
(c)
Dry wells or leaching basins which control stormwater runoff
through ground absorption and temporary storage.
(d)
Retention of natural vegetation to the greatest extent possible
which preserves the natural ground-absorption capacity of the site.
(e)
Any system of porous media, such as gravel trenches drained
by porous wall or perforated pipe, which temporarily stores and dissipates
stormwater through ground absorption.
(f)
Any combination of the above mentioned or other techniques,
as approved by the City Engineer, which serve to limit and control
stormwater runoff from a given site.
(5)
Stormwater retention facilities shall be designated so that
the peak rate and volume of surface runoff that occurred prior to
development is not exceeded after development. The engineer shall
submit calculations, based on the following table, verifying that
the above criteria is met for the two-, ten- and fifty-year storms.
Calculations shall be based on a twenty-four-hour storm event in accordance
with United States Soil Service Technical Release No. 55 or the Soil
Conservation Service National Engineering Handbook.

The weighted CN (curve number) shall be determined for each
site for both existing and proposed conditions, and the difference
shall be used to compute the volume of excess for the design of stormwater
retention facilities. The volume is equal to the depth of the rainfall
excess multiplied by the area of the site.
(7)
The outlet for any stormwater retention facility shall be designed
such that the discharge rate does not exceed the peak runoff rate
for conditions existing on or before the effective date of this chapter
such that there is no adverse effect on any other property.
(8)
In the case of detention facilities utilizing porous media for
ground absorption, such as dry well, porous media shall be large enough
to contain the total volume of rainfall excess within the voids. Ground
absorption systems shall be used only where the soil infiltration
rate is acceptable, as determined by percolation tests and soil borings
provided by the developer and witnessed by the reviewing engineer.
Seasonal high groundwater shall be determined by the mottling method
or other approved methods.
(9)
If a combination of different retention techniques is used,
combined volume of the systems shall be large enough to fully contain
the total volume of rainfall excess.
(10)
Stormwater retention facilities shall be maintained regularly
by the owner to ensure continual functioning of the systems at design
capacity and to prevent the health hazards associated with debris
buildup and stagnant water.
(11)
As-built plans (two sets) shall be submitted to the City after
construction. They shall reflect all or any revisions made in the
stormwater management plan during construction.
