For all regulated activities that are not exempt from provisions of this chapter, a stormwater management site plan (SMSP) is required and shall consist of all applicable calculations, maps, and plans as described in this chapter. A note on the maps shall refer to the associated computations and erosion and sedimentation control plan by title and date. The cover sheet of the computations and erosion and sedimentation control plan shall refer to the associated maps by title and date. All SMSP documents, reports and calculations shall be submitted to the Township in a format that is clear, concise, legible, neat, and well organized; otherwise, the stormwater management site plan shall be disapproved and returned to the applicant. A SMSP and related documentation/reports shall be prepared by qualified professional(s), as applicable, including but not limited to professional land surveyors or engineers licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The following items shall be included with submission of any stormwater management site plan (SMSP) for approval by the Township (Refer to §
198-22J for additional SMSP requirements related to subdivision and/or land development applications.):
A. Three copies of the completed Township grading and excavating (aka soil erosion and sedimentation control) permit application form. (Refer to §
198-21B.)
B. Grading and excavating (aka soil erosion and sedimentation control)
permit application fee and escrow, as established by separate resolution
of The Township Council.
C. Feasibility analysis.
(1) A feasibility analysis that evaluates the potential application of infiltration, flow attenuation, bioretention, wetland, or wet pond BMPs must be submitted with the stormwater management site plans required in Article
IV.
(2) The feasibility analysis must allow the Township to review the general
soil characteristics of a site and the proposed development for that
site and determine if infiltration BMPs or wet pond or artificial
wetland BMPs could have been more thoroughly pursued for use by the
applicant. The information required in the analysis shall be detailed
enough to determine the potential applicability of these BMPs for
a proposed development, but general enough not to force an applicant
into incurring excessive cost associated with conducting laborious
field and/or laboratory soil testing for a site which ultimately may
not be suitable for infiltration or wet pond or artificial wetland
BMP implementation. Applicants are expected to use these BMPs wherever
possible and are required to provide adequate justification if these
BMPs are not to be implemented. Applicants for those sites that are
determined to be generally suitable from these analysis (taking into
consideration the areal extent of suitable soils necessary to accommodate
an infiltration or wet pond or wetland BMP for the type and size of
development proposed) are required to conduct the detailed soil testing
and other feasibility testing required in other sections of this chapter
which contain the description and additional design criteria of these
BMPs.
(3) This analysis shall provide:
(a)
A general assessment of the anticipated additional runoff based on the design storm and post-development condition and utilizing the calculation procedures required in §
198-18;
(b)
Indication of drainage areas on the development site resulting
in impervious, pervious, and rooftop runoff;
(c)
Indication of type of land use (residential, nonresidential)
generating the impervious surface runoff;
(d)
A delineation of soils on the site from the NRCS, soil survey
and on-site soil study. The soil study shall be conducted by a soil
scientist and shall include sufficient probes/deep holes to evaluate
application of BMPs;
(e)
Indication of soils generally suitable for infiltration and/or
wet pond/artificial wetland BMPs;
(f)
Calculated acreage of suitable soils for infiltration BMPs and
wet pond or artificial wetland BMPs and percentage of suitable soils
based on total site acreage;
(g)
Calculated acreage of suitable soils for infiltration BMPs and
wet pond or artificial wetland BMPs made unavailable due to proposed
development layout and justification that alternative development
layout which would reduce impact on suitable soil availability is
unfeasible;
(h)
An analysis of potential infiltration or wet pond or artificial wetland BMPs which could be implemented to manage the projected post-development runoff with consideration of suitable soil availability runoff point of and type of land use (items in Subsection
C(3)(b) and
(c) above) and the general design standards and maintenance issues included in this chapter, including an indication of how most post-development runoff can be managed by these BMPs (e.g., the entire post-development runoff or partial amount of runoff expressed as a percentage); and
(i)
The rationale for the decision to not proceed with implementation
of infiltration BMPs or wet pond or artificial wetland BMPs, such
as excessive cost of implementation, insufficient soil suitability,
and development constraints.
D. A detailed geologic evaluation of the project site pursuant to §
198-15D and Appendix B of this chapter shall be performed to determine the suitability
of recharge facilities. The evaluation shall be performed by a qualified
geologist and/or soil scientist, and shall address, at a minimum,
soil permeability, depth to bedrock, susceptibility to sinkhole formation,
and subgrade stability.
E. Whenever stormwater management facilities will be located in an area
underlain by limestone or in proximity to known sinkholes or other
karst features, a geological evaluation of the proposed location shall
be conducted to determine susceptibility to sinkhole formations. The
design of all stormwater BMPs over karst/limestone formations or in
proximity to known sinkholes shall include measures to prevent groundwater
contamination and, where necessary, sinkhole formation. Installation
of an impermeable liner shall be required in stormwater management
BMPs to be constructed over or in close proximity (less than 150 feet)
to limestone, other known sinkholes, or karst features. The following
note shall be attached to all stormwater management site plans and
signed and sealed by the applicant's professional engineer:
"I, ______________, certify that the proposed stormwater management
facilities (circle one) are/are not in close proximity to known sinkholes,
karst features, underlain by limestone or in proximity to geology
associated with the formation of voids and sinkholes."
