BDG Response to DPW 9.7.23 MEMORANDUM 4 Allen Place • Northampton, Massachusetts 01060 • t 413.582.7000 • f 413.582.7005 • bdg@berkshiredesign.com To: Greg Newman, Northampton DPW From: Berkshire Design Group Date: September 7, 2023 Project: Evergreen Road, Northampton Re: Site Plan Comments dated June 22, 2023 BDG is in receipt of the DPW comments sent to the Northampton Planning Board regarding the Evergreen Road Site Plan. Our office has reviewed the comments and offers the following responses: Site Plan · The sanitary manhole shown on the plan is located in front of #14 Evergreen Road, not between #17 and #41 as described. The location and invert elevation was confirmed in the field by survey. The manhole shown between #17 and #46 is a new proposed manhole. · At the time of construction, the existing catch basin on the site will be investigated to determine if it’s a functioning drywell. · We understand abandoned underground infrastructure may exist. Details · The new water service detail has been revised as noted. · The thickness of the asphalt driveway has been revised as noted. · Plans currently indicate a tracking pad and erosion control along the down gradient edge of the site. Prior to construction, a more detailed erosion control plan can be developed in coordination with the site contractor.
