The Northampton Department of Public Works (DPW) is in receipt of the application for a
Stormwater Management Permit for the above referenced project. The application has been
found to be incomplete. The timeline for application review and final action by the
Northampton DPW will begin once a complete application has been submitted. The
application is incomplete for the following reason(s):
__ The Stormwater Management Permit Application is not complete and/ or signed:
__ The Permit Review and Inspection Fee is not paid.
__ The Operation, Maintenance, and Inspection Agreement was not submitted
and/ or is not complete.
____x_ The Stormwater Management Plan and Erosion and Sediment Control Plan are
not complete. The following information has not been submitted and/ or is not
complete:
• Documentation must be provided of LID measures that were considered for the proposed
project as required in the current MA DEP Checklist for Stormwater Report.
• The proposed drainage system for Zoe Senior Retirement is shown in the plans connecting to
the existing drainage system at Linda Manor. The applicant has provided separate drainage
calculations for Zoe Retirement and for Linda Manor. These calculations do not show overall
how the system will function and what the peak flows will be to the existing basin and outfall at
Beaver Brook. The applicant must provide drainage calculations that show pre and post
construction peak flows for the entire drainage system for the 1, 2, 10 and 100 year 24 hour
design storms. The drainage calculations must correctly model the proposed detention basin
discharge to the existing 24 inch drainage pipe at Linda Manor and the stormwater system at
Linda Manor to properly analyze how the systems will function together. Additional redesign of
the existing drainage system at Linda Manor may be necessary to allow the drainage systems
from both projects to function correctly and in accordance to the Stormwater Management
Standards.
• TSS removal calculations must be provided documenting the treatment trains for all areas of new
impervious surface meet.
• Soils investigation (by a Certified Soil Evaluator or Certified Professional Soil Scientist) must be
conducted and documentation submitted including test pits or other tests for areas where
construction of infiltration practices will occur. Information must be submitted verifying the soil
conditions, the elevation of estimated seasonal high groundwater for the proposed infiltration
areas, and how the proposed rate of infiltration was calculated.
• The plans must specify where stormwater from the roof of the proposed building addition at
Linda Manor flows.
• The elevation of the proposed Stormtech Chambers must be specified in the plans and analysis
of the structure must be included in drainage calculations discussed above.
• The long-term post-construction stormwater maintenance plan must include all components of
the proposed stormwater management system.
• The applicant must provide documentation of the original design and current functioning of the
existing stormwater system at Linda Manor and record of maintenance of this system.
• The design of the proposed detention basin must show an emergency spillway and safe flow path
of this overflow.
• The design of the proposed detention basin must provide and specify an access route for
maintenance.
• Appropriate information (f ARP or STEP) must be submitted documenting the removal
effectiveness of the proposed Stormceptors. The DPW requires that proprietary Stormwater
BMPs such as Stormceptors be designed with an off-line configuration during larger storm
events (diversion structures) to avoid re-suspension and discharge of sediment.
• Snow storage areas must be indicated on the plans.
• Easement(s) may be necessary to discharge stormwater from the Zoe Retirement stormwater
system to the Linda Manor stormwater system and other adjacent properties.
• The proposed rain garden must be designed in conformance with the guidance of the
Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook including but not limited to: sizing of the structure,
existing soil and groundwater conditions, proposed plantings, specification of the engineered soil
mix and grading on the Site Grading Plan.
Please submit the necessary items to the Northampton Department of Public Works as soon as
possible to start the application review process. For additional infonnation contact Doug McDonald
