The proposed facilities include 120-LF of 60-in perforated storage pipe in a stone surround preceded by 40-LF of 60-in pipe as a pre-treatment unit. The plans include numerous details and sections. A revised drainage report (Revision No. 2 dated November 4, 2009) has been provided.

 

Upon review of the current submittal, the Planning Board’s Drainage Consultant believes that the proposed stormwater management plan can be revised to achieve a zero net increase in runoff rate from the developed site. Accordingly, the Consultant recommends acceptance for drainage subject to the following conditions:

 

• All structures (e.g. catch basins, manholes, structures, etc) shall be consistently numbered on all sheets.

 

• Provide longitudinal and transverse sections through the pre-treatment pipe, drawn to scale. The longitudinal section shall also show the inlet structure, inlet pipe and the outlet pipe.

 

• Provide calculations for sizing each proposed storm sewer. All storm sewers must be designed for a 25-yr storm without surcharging in the pipes or structures. They must also be designed for a 100-yr storm as well. In the 100-yr design, the drainage consultant allows surcharging in the pipes and at structures, provided there is a minimum 12” freeboard at all structures (i.e. maximum water level must be a minimum of 12-in below the rim. The calculations must use the appropriate 25-yr or 100-yr tailwater elevation.

 

• Provide profiles on the plans for ALL proposed storm drains. Show the hydraulic grade line for each length of pipe and the 100-yr water levels at each structure. Show all utility crossings to avoid conflicts during construction.

• Sheet 7 includes a detail of the Outlet Control Structure (OCS#1). The Drainage Consultant found this detail to be inadequate. This Detail must be redrawn to scale, and shall include plan and sectional views showing the correct orientation of all connected pipes. The detail must show all dimensions, elevations, etc that will permit construction. The structure shall not be smaller than a standard catch basin (i.e. 48-in by 30-in minimum inside).

 

• Provide a detail of the Inlet Structure drawn to scale. The detail shall include plan and sectional views showing the correct orientation of all connected pipes. The detail must show all dimensions, elevations, etc that will permit construction. The structure shall not be smaller than a standard catch basin (i.e. 48-in by 30-in minimum inside).

 

• Provide a detail of the existing catch basin on the existing 18-in CMP, into which the two proposed storm sewers will be connected. The detail shall be drawn to scale and shall include plan and sectional views showing the correct orientation of all connected pipes. The detail must show all dimensions, elevations, etc that will permit construction.

 

• The two proposed storage pipes must be interconnected on the bottom of the pipes at the invert elevation. Provide appropriate details as needed to show how the connection will be constructed.

 

• Provide filter fabric on all four sides and the top of the infiltration trench to prevent adjacent soil from migrating into the stone voids.

 

• Provide two 6-in observation wells in the infiltration trench at diagonally opposite ends. The observation wells shall be in accordance with NYS Stormwater Management Design Manual Figure K-4.

 

• Provide a minimum of one 24-in access manhole on each of the two 60-in storage pipes. Provide an appropriate detail showing dimensions, elevations and materials required for construction.

 

• The outlet pipe from the pre-treatment pipe to the storage pipe is shown on the plan with a bend. Bends are not recommended on gravity lines. A catch basin or manhole shall be provided at all changes of direction on gravity lines.

• The Grading Plan, Sheet 4, shows two roof drain connections from the east side of the proposed building connected to the stormwater management system. How will the roof drains from the west side of the building be connected? The plan must show how/where ALL roof drains will be connected.

 

• Test pit(s) shall be dug at the site of the proposed infiltration trench to a depth 3.0-ft below the bottom of the trench to confirm the absence of rock and/or seasonal high groundwater. Percolation tests shall be conducted by the Applicants Engineer to determine the soil infiltration rate at the bottom of the trench. If necessary, the proposed design (plans and calculations) shall be revised in accordance with the findings of these tests.

 

• Maintenance responsibility for the stormwater management system including the pre-treatment pipe and storage pipes shall be vested with a responsible authority by means of a legally binding and enforceable maintenance agreement that is executed as a condition of plan approval. Maintenance shall include the periodic flushing and removal of sediment from the pre-treatment and storage pipes. Provisions shall be included in the design to allow for this routine maintenance.

 

• Additional conditions may be added based on response to the above conditions.

 

9. Copies of all correspondence, including any and all approvals with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers, the Rockland County Drainage Agency, etc., in connection with this plan shall be supplied to the Planning Board and DEME, prior to signing of the map.
10. 10. The Rockland County Drainage Agency’s (RCDA) has previously reviewed the proposal and it was determined that the site is within the jurisdiction of the RCDA. Based on a review of the materials submitted, the RCDA offers the following comments:

• The permit application submitted indicates that the current proposal is for the construction of a new Administration building and access road with parking. However, the project drawings and calculations indicate that the current proposal also includes the demolition of the existing Marion Hall building with Chapel and associated site re-grading. The applicant shall provide a revised permit application to the RCDA that indicates the entire scope of work for the project consistent with the project drawings and calculations signed and dated by the property owner or an officer of the company.

Continuation of Condition #10….

 

• Delineate the 100-year floodplain boundary on the plans and include the 100-year floodplain elevation of the Sparkill Creek at its nearest point to the project. The floodplain information requested may be included on the “Overall Existing Condition Plan, Drawing No:2.
• The “Figure S-1: Cross Sectional Profile of Infiltration Trench System of System #1” details shown in “Details Sheet” drawing does not appear to indicate the required filter fabric at the interface of the stone and soil to prevent soil migration. Provide filter fabric material at the interface of the stone and soil and also indicate the stone size in the infiltration trench.
• The project drawings submitted indicate that the total disturbance area for the proposed project is more than one acre. In accordance with Figure 3.1 of the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual (NYSSSMDM), the applicant must provide a full Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The applicant shall provide the RCDA with a full SWPPP, signed and stamped or sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed in the State of New York.
• In accordance with Section 6.3.6 of the NYSSMDM, every infiltration trench shall have observation wells. In addition, every infiltration trench shall also have direct access to infiltration practices for maintenance. However, the “Figure S-1: Cross Sectional Profile of Infiltration Trench System of System#1” details shown in “Detail Sheet” drawing do not indicate any inspection ports or maintenance access for the treatment and pre-treatments structures. Review and revise as necessary.
• In accordance with Section 6.3.2 of the NYSSMDM, if stormwater runoff is delivered by a storm drain pipe or along the main conveyance system, the infiltration practice must be designed as an off-line practice. Contrary to this, the proposed trench appears to be designed as an in-line practice. Review and revise the design as necessary.
• The “Administration Building Grading Plan” drawing appears to indicate that the stormwater runoff from the proposed construction would be conveyed into a pre-treatment chamber, 6-inch solid ADS pipe, through “DS#1.” Also, the “Stormwater Management Report & Water Quality and Quantity System Design “report indicates that an “Oil-Water Separator” will be used instead of the required forebay for pre-treatment. However, the project drawings do not include any detail for the proposed pre-treatment chamber/oil water separator. Provide a detail for the proposed pre-treatment chamber/”Oil-Water Separator” and diversion structure details on the project drawings.
• Provide stormwater conveyance calculations demonstrating that the conveyance system has adequate capacity.
• Page 26 of the “Stormwater Management Report & Water Quality and Quantity System Design” report indicates that the minimum infiltration rate considered for the proposed pre-treatment volume calculations is 1-inch in 30 minutes. Provide infiltration test data that confirms the soil infiltration rate at the location of the proposed infiltration trench.

2. There will be no excavation or stockpiling of earth underneath the trees.
3. Trees designated to be preserved shall be marked conspicuously on all sides

at a 5 to 10 foot height.

1. The Tree Protection Zone for trees designated to be preserved will be

established by one of the following methods:

• One (1) foot radius from truck per inch DBH
• Drip line of the Tree Canopy. The method chosen should be based on providing the maximum protection zone possible. A barrier of snow fence or equal is to be placed and maintained one yard beyond the established tree protection zone. If it is agreed that the tree protection zone of a selected tree must be violated, one of the following methods must be employed to mitigate the impact:
• Light to Heavy Impacts – Minimum of eight inches of wood chips installed in the area to be protected. Chips shall be removed upon completion of work.
• Light Impacts Only – Installation of ¾ inch of plywood or boards, or equal over the area to be protected.

The builder or its agent may not change grade within the tree protection zone of a preserved tree unless such grade change has received final approval from the Planning Board. If the grade level is to be changed more than six (6) inches, trees designated to be preserved shall be welled and/or preserved in a raised bed, with the tree well a radius of three (3) feet larger than the tree canopy.

Public Comments:

Marvin S. Baum, 19, Rennert Lane, Bardonia, New York, raised concerns regarding Orange & Rockland’s plans for multiple upgrades in Rockland County. He questioned the Board if the Corporate Drive site was being reviewed as a single project or as part of a larger project scope of work. Mr. Baum suggested looking into the impact of the location of the site on nearby water source and possible contamination of the water.

 

Melody Fiore, 99 Hunt Road, expressed concerns regarding contamination of  the ground water due to the development of the site.

 

Leslie Whatley, 6 Buckingham Court, Old Tappan, New Jersey; requested that Verizon and Orange and Rockland Utilities place sound attenuation panels on the facilities at a cost of $50,000.00. She also requested information regarding the project construction schedule, when the wall would be constructed and the associated landscaping would be completed.

 

The hearing was then opened to the Public. There being no one to be heard from the Public, a motion was made to close the Public Hearing portion of the meeting by Kevin Garvey and seconded by John Foody and carried as follows:

11. Based upon the Rockland County Drainage Agency’s (RCDA) evaluation of available mapping and the information submitted, it has been determined that the proposed activity is outside the jurisdiction of the RCDA. Therefore, a permit from the RCDA pursuant to Chapter 846, Rockland County Stream Control Act, is not requested based upon its review of the information provided. However, the site appears to be located within mapped federal wetlands. The RCDA suggests that the U.S., Army Corps of Engineers be contacted and requested to make a jurisdictional determination regarding the proposed activity.
12. Rockland County Department of Planning had the following comments which are incorporated herein as conditions of approval:

• Referrals for review are to include inter-community and county-wide considerations in respect to compatibility with various land uses with one another; protection of community character as regards predominate land uses, population density, and the relation between residential and nonresidential areas; drainage; community facilities; official municipal and county development policies (as may be expressed through comprehensive plans, capital programs or regulatory measures); and such matters as may relate to the public convenience, to governmental efficiency, and to the achieving and maintaining of a satisfactory community environment. In addition, Section 239 –nn was recently enacted to encourage the coordination of land use development and regulation among adjacent municipalities, so that as a result development occurs in a manner that is supportive of the goals and objectives of the general area. A review shall be requested from the Borough of Old Tappan and any of their concerns regarding the areas of countywide concern, which directly impact the Borough of Old Tappan, must be considered and satisfactorily addressed.
• A review of the wetlands on the site shall be completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and any required permits obtained.
• There shall be no net increase in storm water runoff from the site.
• Prior to any grading or construction on site, a soil and erosion control plan shall be developed that meets the New York State Guidelines for Urban Erosion and Sediment Control.

13. 13. Application is to be made to the Rockland County Department of Health for review of the Stormwater Management System for compliance with the County Mosquito Code.

TREE PROTECTION: The Tree Protection and Preservation Guidelines adopted

pursuant to Section 21-24 of the Land Development Regulations of the Town of

Orangetown will be implemented in order to protect and preserve both individual

specimen trees and buffer area with many trees. Steps that will be taken to

reserve and protect existing trees to remain are as follows:

1. No construction equipment shall be parked under the tree canopy.
2. There will be no excavation or stockpiling of earth underneath the trees.
3. Trees designated to be preserved shall be marked conspicuously on all sides

at a 5 to 10 foot height.

1. The Tree Protection Zone for trees designated to be preserved will be

established by one of the following methods:

• One (1) foot radius from truck per inch DBH
• Drip line of the Tree Canopy

-The method chosen should be based on providing the maximum protection zone

possible. A barrier of snow fence or equal is to be placed and maintained one

yard beyond the established tree protection zone. If it is agreed that the tree

protection zone of a selected tree must be violated, one of the following methods

must be employed to mitigate the impact:

• Light to Heavy Impacts – Minimum of eight inches of wood chips installed in

the area to be protected. Chips shall be removed upon completion of work.

• Light Impacts Only – Installation of ¾ inch of plywood or boards, or equal over

the area to be protected.

The builder or its agent may not change grade within the tree protection zone of

a preserved tree unless such grade change has received final approval from the

Planning Board. If the grade level is to be changed more than six (6) inches,

trees designated to be preserved shall be welled and/or preserved in a raised

bed, with the tree well a radius of three (3) feet larger than the tree canopy.

15. 15. All landscaping shown on the plans shall be maintained in a vigorous growing condition throughout the duration of the use of this site. Any plants not so maintained shall be replaced with new plants at the beginning of the next immediately following growing season.
16. 16. Prior to the commencement of any site work, including the removal of trees, the applicant shall install the soil erosion and sedimentation control as required by the Planning Board. Prior to the authorization to proceed with any phase of the site work, the Town of Orangetown Department of Environmental Management and Engineering (DEME) shall inspect the installation of all required soil erosion and sedimentation control measures. The applicant shall contact DEME at least 48 hours in advance for an inspection.
