a.
Runoff Computations.
1.
Computation of the rate of the flow at any given location shall be
based on the rational formula:
|
Q.C.I.A., in which:
| ||
|
Q
|
=
|
Volume in cubic feet per second.
|
|
C
|
=
|
Runoff factor.
|
|
I
|
=
|
Intensity of rainfall in inches per hour.
|
|
A
|
=
|
Watershed area in acres.
|
2.
In setting the value of the runoff coefficient C, consideration will
be given to the physical features of the drainage basin and best available
data on the further density of development of the drainage basin.
In no case shall it be less than 0.50.
3.
The intensity of the storm shall be based on the following: As a
minimum, all design shall be based upon a ten-year storm. The rainfall
intensity-duration-frequency curve for Philadelphia present in Technical
Paper No. 25, prepared by the United States Department of Commerce
Weather Bureau, shall be used. A copy of this is included in the standard
details portion of this chapter. Time of low curves are also included
in that section for use in design.
4.
Standard New Jersey Department of Transportation concrete headwalls
shall be installed on all pipe discharge of effluent points.
5.
Pipeline Design. Storm sewer pipelines shall be designed by either
of the following two methods. Both shall be based on the Manning equation
and shall utilize the following friction factors:
n = 0.015 concrete pipe.
n = 0.0-21 corrugated metal pipe.
The minimum allowable pipe size is 15 inches.
(a)
Pipe Submerged.
(1)
This method is based on the assumption that when the storm sewer
system is under maximum load, the hydraulic gradient will be at, or
above, the crown of the pipe and that flow in the lines will be controlled
by head differentials between structures and other locations where
the system is open to the ground surface, such as inlets or outlets,
manholes and streams inlets or outlets. The head of water above the
crown of any pipe can range from zero feet to a point which will not
cause surface flooding.
(2)
The slope of the hydraulic gradient in any section of storm
sewer between opening to the surface shall be calculated on the assumption
that the pipe is flowing full at constant velocity and at the required
capacity.
(3)
The elevation of the hydraulic gradient at a point in the pipe
shall be no lower than the crown of pipe and no higher than the surface
of the ground.
(4)
At all structures such as manholes, inlets, etc., where the
pipe size does not change the elevation of the hydraulic gradient
shall be dropped 0.2 feet to allow for losses therein. Where the inlet
and outlet pipe sizes are not the same, the elevation of the hydraulic
gradient shall be dropped an amount based on the following formula:
H = 0.2 feet + 0.8 (D1-D2 feet)
D1 = Diameter of inlet pipe
D2 = Diameter of outlet pipe
If D1 is larger than D2, head loss = 0.2 feet
(5)
The minimum slope of any pipe shall be such that a minimum velocity
of 2.5 feet per second shall be maintained when the pipe is following
1/4 full.
(b)
Pipeline Flowing Full.
(1)
This method is based on the assumption that the hydraulic gradient
will match the inside top of the pipe when system is under maximum
hydraulic load.
(2)
For this method, head losses through manholes, inlets, etc.,
shall be ignored.
(3)
The minimum slope of any pipe shall be such that a minimum velocity
of 2.5 feet per second shall be maintained when the pipe is flowing
1/4 full.
(4)
When the pipe sizes change, the inside tops of the pipes shall
be matched.
(c)
Continuous profiles for each reach of pipe shall be plotted,
along with the location of the hydraulic gradient and the hydraulic
information pertinent to each reach with the system. This information
shall include the pipe size and type, the "n" factor, the slope of
the hydraulic gradient, slope of the pipe, the design capacity and
velocity at the design capacity.
(d)
Inlet Design.
(1)
Stormwater inlets shall be equal to New Jersey State Highway
Department Inlet Type B. The maximum collecting capacities of the
inlets shall be considered to be:
[a]
When installed on streets where the grade is 1%,
five cubic feet per second.
[b]
When installed on streets where the grade is 2%,
4.8 cubic feet per second.
[c]
When installed on streets where the grade is 3%,
4.6 cubic feet per second.
[d]
When installed on streets where the grade is 4%,
4.4 cubic feet per second.
[e]
When installed on streets where the grade is 5%,
4.2 cubic feet per second.
[f]
When installed on streets where the grade is 6%,
four cubic feet per second.
(2)
Sufficient inlets shall be located and constructed so that the
length of surface runoff will not contribute a runoff to the inlets
exceeding the preceding designated collecting capacities.
(3)
The gutter grade of all inlets shall be set not less than two
inches nor more than four inches below the gutter grade. The surface
of the paving adjacent to the inlets shall be constructed to blend
into the lowered gutter grade at the inlet in such a manner that a
sudden drop off or dip at the inlet will not be created. At such locations
where drainage is entirely dependent on inlets, the collecting capacities
of the inlets shall be designated for 1/2 the preceding considered
capacities.
(4)
Where surface water is collected from two directions at one
street corner, the required inlet or inlets shall be placed accordingly
along the arc to properly receive the runoff.
(5)
Access manholes shall be spaced at 500-foot intervals (maximum)
through right-of-way and at sewer junctions where there are no catch
basins.
(e)
Open Channel Design. Open channel design should be based on
the following hydraulic considerations:
(1)
Manning's equation.
(2)
Ample free board should be provided on all channels.
(3)
The channel should be designed to conform, wherever possible,
to the adjacent ground conditions. This means that it should not be
projecting excessively above the surrounding ground or placed excessively
above the surrounding ground.
(4)
Continuous profiles for each reach of open channel shall be
plotted along with the adjacent average ground and the hydraulic information
pertinent to each reach within the system. This information shall
include the type of channel lining, the "n" factor, the width of the
channel bottom, the side slopes, the water depth, the design capacity
and the velocity at the design capacity.
(5)
Open channels have maximum slope of 3:1 and shall have adequate
slope protection as required by the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control
Ordinance.
(f)
Culverts. All culverts shall be limited to a single opening:
multiple pipes will not be permitted. The design of culverts shall
be such as to minimize the probability of debris accumulation.
(g)
Retention Basin Design. Retention basins shall be required on
all major subdivisions unless deemed unnecessary by the Borough Engineer.
(2)
Storage shall be required for a maximum rainfall of 5.5 inches
(twenty-four-hour rainfall occurring in 1960).
(3)
Indicate flooded area if additional two inch rainfall during
24 hours following design storm.
(4)
Allowances for percolation and evaporation of basins during
and after the storm will not be considered in calculations.
(5)
Basin storage capacities shall be calculated as follows:
Storage volume in cubic feet = project area in square feet x
coefficient x total rainfall = 12.
(6)
The outlet structure shall be discharging water equal to or
less than the contribution calculated for the drainage basin area
in its natural state before development for a ten-year storm period.
(7)
If required, profiles and sections indicating downstream capacities
and proposals and/or easement for reconstruction or cleaning of all
streams shall be submitted prior to consideration of the first section.
[Ord. No. 95-588, Art.
IX]
a.
Streetlighting shall be installed at no cost to the Borough by the
subdivider in locations approved by the Borough Engineer. Such lighting
must be installed when 50% of that section is occupied in accordance
with the Borough streetlighting policy.
b.
For normal street usage, laminated poles, 30 feet high shall be placed
at a minimum distance of 200 feet with 50 watt high pressure sodium
luminare (HOS).
c.
At intersections, a laminated wood pole, 30 feet high shall be placed
with a 70 watt HPS.
d.
At any intersection of two streets, both of which have cartways in
excess of 40 feet, or where one street is an industrial road and other
street has a cartway in excess of 40 feet, a laminated wood pole 30
feet high shall be placed with a 400 watt HPS.
e.
The Borough will assume the operating expense for streetlights in
a particular section when 50% of that section is occupied.
f.
The subdivider whose property is located in the Electric Company's
Franchise area, shall deposit with the Borough Clerk a sum to be estimated
by the Borough Engineer, for the cost of equipment for lighting. Said
sum shall be deposited at the time of posting the required performance
guarantee for the subdivision. The sum deposited shall be held in
escrow for payment by the Borough of equipment costs for lighting
to Atlantic City Electric Company, and after payment, the balance
of escrow shall be returned to the subdivider. If the amount deposited
shall be insufficient to pay for the actual costs of said equipment,
the subdivider shall be required to deposit sums to cover said deficiency.
[Ord. No. 95-588, Art.
IX]
a.

Where extra width has been dedicated for widening of existing streets,
lots shall begin at such extra width line and all setbacks shall be
measured from such line.
4.
Where there is a question as to the suitability of a lot or lots
for their intended use to factors such as soil conditions, rock formations,
flood conditions or similar circumstances, the approving authority
shall require a percolation test of such lots or require remedial
action before approval.
5.
Unless otherwise waived by the approving authority, no single-family
residential dwelling unit shall be permitted to front on a primary
road, or a controlled access highway.
6.
If dwelling unit lots are designated with reverse frontage, the depth
of the lot will be a minimum of 200 feet and the rear yard shall be
a minimum of 50 feet, exclusive of buffer area.
[Ord. No. 95-588, Art.
IX]
In order to promote public safety, a primary design criterion
shall be the separation of pedestrian traffic and vehicular traffic.
To this end subdivisions shall be designed, wherever feasible, to
provide for pedestrian walkways separated from vehicular use streets.
The location, width and construction of such walkways shall be subject
to the approval of the approving authority and the Borough Engineer.
Sidewalks shall be constructed and lighting shall be installed prior
to occupancy. Prior to final approval for any section, the responsibility
for the construction, operation, maintenance and liability for these

to carry water by gravity from below all basement floors to storm
drains or as approved by the Borough Engineer. Where sump pumps are
used on individual lots, they shall discharge into a pipe which shall
run from the structure to the underdrain in the street. A sump pump
may only be used to supplement the underdrain system around the structure.
No sump pumps shall be connected to a sanitary sewer system. No underdrains
in the streets shall be less than six inches in diameter and shall
exclude an Orangeburg-type material. The size of the underdrains shall
be increased not less than 10% in cross section areas for each 1,000
feet of longitudinal drain. Cleanouts shall be provided at all changes
in line or grade; however, the distance between cleanouts shall not
exceed 450 feet. In no case shall cleanouts be permitted in sanitary

In areas where there is a combination of the above uses, the lot
should be constructed using the truck standard 5d where heavier loadings
will be imposed and using the automobile standard where cars will
be parked.
4.
Loading areas for trucks shall be constructed either of truck standard
mentioned in paragraph i,2 above, or of concrete reinforced with No.
5 bars at 12 inches on center each way. The concrete utilized shall
be 4,000 PSI at twenty-day compressive strength.
5.
Driveways in residential developments shall be constructed of two
inch FABC - Surface paving on a base of six inches of quarry blend
stone or of four inch thick concrete of 3,000 PSI strength with No.
9 reinforcement wire or equivalent on a suitable stable subbase.

1.
No development shall be permitted in or on any wetlands within the
jurisdiction of the Borough.
2.
No development, except for those uses which are specifically authorized
in paragraphs b1, b2 and b3, shall be permitted within 100 feet of
any wetlands, unless the applicant demonstrated to the approving authority
that the proposed development will not result in a significant adverse
impact on the wetlands. For purposes of this subsection, a significant
adverse impact shall be deemed to exist where it is determined that
one or more of the following modifications of a wetlands will have
an irreversible effect on the ecological integrity of the wetland
and its biotic components:
(a)
An increase in surface water runoff discharging into a wetland.
(b)
A change in the normal seasonal flow patterns in the wetlands.
(c)
Alteration of the water table in the wetland.
