Tighe&Bond
Roundhouse Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project
Site Plan Review Application 1-1
Section 1
Introduction
The City of Northampton Department of Central Services (the Applicant) is seeking to
rehabilitate and expand the Roundhouse Parking Lot in downtown Northampton. The
parking lot was constructed over the site of the former Northampton Gas Works (NGW),
which is a registered Disposal Site with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) due to long-term operation as a Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP).
Operations at the site ceased in approximately 1951, but resulted in soil and
groundwater contamination that is being actively managed through Activity Use
Limitations (AULs) and a Partial Permanent Solution with Conditions (PSWC).
Coordination between Tighe & Bond and the Licensed Site Professional (LSP) of record is
ongoing to ensure proposed activities on the site comply with the restrictions in place.
The existing condition of the lot is very poor, including deteriorated pavement, damaged
or missing curbing, and failing drainage due to poor grades. Despite its poor overall
condition, the Lot remains in high demand due to its proximity to Downtown
Northampton and ease of access from the south. During the recent Phase 2 Pulaski Park
Renovation, an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramp structure was built
to connect the Lot with the Park. This access was built primarily in an informal gravel
parking area adjacent to the Lot where the tenants of the Roundhouse building had
allocated parking spaces. These tenants have a right-by-deed to 22 spaces, which had
to be redistributed into the parking lot during Phase 2 of the Pulaski Park project.
To overcome this effective loss in parking, as part of the Parking Lot Rehabilitation
Project (Project), the City of Northampton Central Services Department proposes to
expand the existing parking area to the south. The expansion with allow for an increase
of 21 parking stalls, nearly overcoming the loss of the informal parking area, and
providing additional capacity to help meet existing demand. The rehabilitation will also
include repaving the entire lot with curbing and island revisions, making improvements
to stormwater management, installing new plantings, and providing new lighting. The
project will also rebuild a portion of the Manhan Rail Trail connection along the south
end of the Lot, shifted further south to accommodate the parking lot expansion.
Improvements include both tree plantings and pollinator-friendly landscape plantings. A
Site Locus Map, Priority Resource Figure and Orthophotograph for the Project site are
provided in Appendix A as Figures 1-3 (respectively). Site plans, sealed by a Registered
Professional Engineer, are provided in Appendix B.
The Project will require a Site Plan Review as a “Major Project” under Section 350-11.3.E
as requested by the City of Northampton Planning Department, due to the provision that
more than ten new parking spaces are being created. A Zoning Permit application has
been submitted to the building commissioner and a Stormwater Management Permit will
be filed with the Northampton Department of Public Works.
SECTION 2
Tighe&Bond
Roundhouse Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project
Site Plan Review Application 2-1
Section 2
Project Description
2.1 Project Site
The Project is located off Old South Street, directly west of the Peter Pan Bus Terminal,
in the City of Northampton, Massachusetts. The parcels (31D-167, 31D-246, and 31D-
256) comprising the “site” are owned by the City of Northampton and include
approximately 3.0-acres of land.
2.1.1 General Description
The site includes an existing parking lot and extends to include a portion of the existing
City Hall Annex building. The existing parking lot is situated over the former
Northampton Gas Works manufactured gas plant, which is classified as a Tier 1 site
under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) and subject to deed-recorded Activity
Use Limitations and a Partial Permanent Solution with Conditions. The site is accessed
from the east by Old South Street and abuts the City Hall Annex, the Roundhouse, and
Pulaski Park to the north, an apartment complex to the west, and a Northampton
Housing Authority property to the south.
The limits and topography of the Project are depicted on the Project Drawings provided
in Appendix B.
2.1.2 Zoning
Based on a review of the City’s Zoning Map, the Project site is located in the Central
Business (CB) District.
2.1.3 Dimensional and Density Regulations
The dimensional and density regulations for the Project are located in Section 350
Attachment 9: Table of Use, Dimensional and Density Regulations for Central Business.
The Use category for this project is “Commercial or public parking facility or the addition
of 6 or more parking spaces.” There is no building or structure proposed on the site,
only parking area and associated improvements. The applicable dimensions are:
· Minimum Lot Size = 0 SF
· Minimum Frontage/Width/Depth = 0 FT
The site is abutted to the south by the back-lot line of several residentially zoned
parcels. The Northampton Housing Authority parcel is one of these properties and
shares the access driveway from Old South Street. Further west, the parking lot abuts
residential properties with a significant natural wooded buffer.
No waivers are being sought from the Northampton Planning Board at this time.
2.1.4 Wetlands and Rare Species
A comprehensive analysis of environmental factors including wetlands, rare and
endangered species, vernal pools, regulated floodplain, drinking water resources, areas
of protected open space, and Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) was
Tighe&Bond
Roundhouse Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project
Site Plan Review Application 2-2
conducted based on available GIS data and field observations. Based on this analysis,
there are no resource areas within 100 feet of the limit of work. Please refer to the
Priority Resource Figure (Figure 2) in Appendix A for reference.
2.1.5 Historic Resources
A portion of the Project Site has been listed as a historic district in the State and
National Registry of Historic Places. The historic district, the Northampton Downtown
Historic District, was designated a State and National historic district on May 17, 1976
for the area’s distinct architecture, commerce, performing arts, and religion. Property ID
31D-167-001 and 31D-259-001 fall within the Northampton Downtown Historic District.
The proposed Project is not anticipated to impact the Northampton Downtown Historic
District as construction is limited to the footprint of the existing parking lot within the
historic district. Expansion of the parking lot will occur in the southern portion of the
Project Site; however, the expansion is not located within the Northampton Downtown
Historic District.
Three existing buildings located adjacent to the Project Site have been identified as
historic buildings under the Massachusetts Cultural Resource Information System. The
three buildings, located at 3-5 Clark Ave, 73 Old South Street, and 67-69 Old South
Street, fall outside of the work limits and are not anticipated to be impacted by the
proposed Project.
2.2 Scope of Improvements
The City, acting through its Department of Central Services, is proposing to rehabilitate
and expand the Roundhouse Parking Lot. The existing lot is in poor condition, including
deteriorated pavement and curbing, inadequate lighting, and poor drainage due to
warped pavement and poor grades. In addition to the observable deficiencies in
condition, this project became a priority for the City after the completion of Phase 2 of
the Pulaski Park Renovation. Phase 2 included the development of a landscaped and
terraced embankment that included an ADA compliant ramp connecting the parking lot
with the Park, which is at a much higher elevation. To construct this embankment, an
unmarked gravel parking area at the north end of the Roundhouse Lot was eliminated.
The gravel area previously served the tenants of the Roundhouse building who have a
deeded right to 22 parking spaces in the lot. To account for the loss of the gravel area,
those spaces have been redistributed to the paved portions of the lot, reducing publicly
available (and metered) parking stalls. To address these concerns, the City is proposing
full depth pavement reclamation, new curbed islands with trees and pollinator plantings,
new lighting, drainage system improvements, and a minor expansion of the lot to the
south on lands acquired by the City for this purpose. The project will also provide
infrastructure for future Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations.
The Roundhouse Lot was originally constructed as a cap over the contaminated soils
resulting from long-term operation of the Northampton Gas Works facility. The lot was
originally paved to the base course and the pavement was too thin for long-term use
and is now in need of rehabilitation. The pavement has also been disturbed numerous
times for additional utility and remediation work, further damaging the parking lot
surface. These remediation activities included installation of a subsurface geomarker,
installation of monitoring wells, excavation of test pits, and drilling of soil borings to
indicate the depth at which contamination is present. The size of the lot is a byproduct
of the available space more so than any study or review of demand, but the lot has
always been a popular spot to park for downtown visitors and employees, frequently
Tighe&Bond

Site Plan Review Application 2-3
reaching full capacity. The completed Pulaski Park improvements add even more appeal
to using the Roundhouse lot for parking needs and more direct access to Main Street.
Accordingly, one of the project goals is to increase the number of available parking stalls
to the extent practicable to help serve the existing downtown Northampton parking
demand. The proposed site plan will increase parking stalls by 21.
In addition to rehabilitation and the increase in parking capacity, safety improvements
are proposed for all users. Due to limited available space, the lot has always been
difficult to maneuver for motor vehicles and some sight lines are constrained. The
proposed layout includes one-way traffic circulation along the north and western-most
drive aisles to reduce vehicle conflict points and promote a more predictable traffic
circulation pattern for all users. The bike path will also generally maintain its route, but
the alignment will be shifted further south. The path will have a two-foot marked buffer
where it is adjacent to parking stalls or drive aisles and will be more clearly marked near
the Old South Street entrance. A shared path and drive aisle at the western end of the
parking lot will also allow for connection from the path to the ramp structure at the Park
for a more direct bike connection to Main Street. Proposed lighting, designed to current
Dark Sky standards, will also provide a safety improvement for all users and reduce any
light spill nuisances to adjacent residential buildings. The lighting will improve visibility
for cyclists, pedestrians, and motor vehicles operating in the parking lot.
Stormwater improvements in the lot will include improved grading to promote positive
drainage to the inlet locations and stormwater treatment units to improve the water
quality of stormwater leaving the site. The options at the Roundhouse Lot are limited
due to the subsurface contamination present, so more traditional infiltration and
detention techniques are not plausible on the site. The stormwater approach has been
reviewed with the City’s Stormwater Coordination and Engineer and a stormwater permit
application will be filed with the Northampton Department of Public Works (DPW)
concurrent with this application.
2.3 Design Standards
The proposed improvements were prepared in accordance with the parking and
landscape standards set forth in Section 350-8.8 and Section 350-8.9 to the extent
practicable. Applicable standards are discussed in this section. In general, the parking
lot rehabilitation is limited by existing constraints including existing drainage and power
utility locations, and the underlying soil contamination.
2.3.1 Parking and Loading Space Standards (350-8.8)
· All proposed parking stalls are at least 8.5 feet wide and 18 feet deep with an 18-
foot drive aisle.
· Snow storage will be addressed during normal storms by plowing to the south
end of the lot, just beyond the bike path. In larger storm events, snow will be
temporarily managed within the parking stalls on the south end of the lot until it
can be removed from the lot by loader and dump truck.
· Lighting will comply with the standards set forth in Section 12.2.
· The parking lot will be served by the existing curb cut.
· Drainage will be pitched to existing collection points and contained on the site.
Tighe&Bond
Roundhouse Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project
Site Plan Review Application 2-4
· A Zoning Permit has been filed with the Building Commissioner.
2.3.2 Additional Standards for Over Five Spaces (350-8.9)
· The existing natural buffer to the south of the parking lot will remain substantially
intact.
· The parking lot will be constructed with bituminous concrete pavement and have
clearly marked parking stalls.
· Perimeter curbing is not included on the south or west edges of the parking lot to
match existing conditions and limit the amount of grading required on the site.
· The parking rows will be broken by planting strips; however, no integral
sidewalks are proposed in the strips.
· The parking count requires 13 shade trees based on total spaces. 15 existing
shade trees will remain on the parking lot. In addition, 30 new trees will be
planted within the lot to offset for the loss of several significant trees. These
additional trees will provide canopy and shading within the lot (see Section 4.3
for further discussion).

Section 3
Site Plan Review Requirements
This application has been prepared in response to the Site Plan Approval requirements of
Section 350-11 Site Plan Approval and is being filed as a Major Project under the
provisions of 350-11.3. The application includes a narrative discussion of how the
proposed Project complies with the Approval Criteria established in Section 350-11.6.
The General Performance Standards are discussed in Section 4.
3.1 Protection of Adjoining Premises (350-11.6.A)
The Project includes rehabilitation of the existing parking lot with a minor expansion of
the parking area to the south. The proposed use will be consistent with existing activity
on the site. Parking lot grades will be constructed so that existing drainage patterns are
generally maintained, and drainage more effectively reaches catch basin inlets in the lot.
In addition, proposed lighting will be designed to City standards, with no light trespass
onto adjoining private parcels.
3.2 Access and Traffic Impacts (350-11.6.B)
The Project will maintain the existing driveway access from Old South Street, including
restriping and curb line improvements for better definition at the entry. The bike path
will also be more clearly delineated at the driveway entrance including a buffer to the
motor vehicle travel lanes and bike lane markings.
The introduction of 37 new parking spaces will help additional downtown visitors and
employees find parking in the lot. This should result in less vehicle trips circulating
through downtown parking lots looking for parking during peak times. Internal to the
lot, the proposed improvements should also help maneuverability and circulation in the
lot, promoting safer access for all users. New pavement markings and signage will
guide parking lot users through the lot and reduce the number of conflict points in the
parking lot.
The additional parking is being proposed in response to existing demand and the loss of
the unmarked area on the north side of the lot. No new traffic will be generated by the
project.
3.3 Character of the Site (350-11.6.C)
While the project will include a minor expansion of the existing parking lot, the use will
remain unchanged. The site should continue to function comparably to its current
operation and not impose any new burden or impediment on the adjacent areas.
Landscape improvements including new lighting and pollinator plantings in the islands
will help to break up the pavement area and extend the landscape of the renovated
Pulaski Park through the parking lot generally improving the aesthetics and natural
functions of the space. No changes are proposed to the adjacent buildings or structures.
Tighe&Bond
Roundhouse Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project
Site Plan Review Application 3-2
3.4 Municipal Resource Capacity (350-11.6.D)
The Project does not impact municipal resources and will not create new demands on
existing utilities or roadways. The additional parking is being proposed to address an
existing need and is not anticipated to generate new traffic to the parking lot. Additional
stormwater runoff from the new parking area will be managed in accordance with City of
Northampton Stormwater Standards through a Stormwater Permit.
3.5 Technical Performance Standards (350-11.6.F)
3.5.1 Curb Cuts (350-11.6.F(1))
The existing curb cut to Old South Street will be maintained. This curb cut is used in
common with the Housing Authority property, the Peter Pan Bus Terminal, and the Site.
3.5.2 Pedestrian, Bicycle and Vehicular Movements (350-11.6.F(2))
The Project includes several safety improvements for all parking lot users, while
maintaining and enhancing the existing bike path route through the lot. Pedestrians
exiting their cars do not have sidewalks within the parking lot but have ADA compliant
ramps and walkways to the north, south, and east sides of the lot. In addition,
circulation improvements for motor vehicles will lead to more predictable movements
and better sight lines, benefitting all users.
ADA parking has been distributed throughout the lot provided adjacent to the Pulaski
Park access, the Roundhouse Building, and the bus terminal to minimize the distance
users need to travel to a sidewalk or destination. The total number of ADA stalls and
van accessible stalls complies with the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB)
requirements (521 CMR 23.00).
In addition, a dual port Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station is proposed in the lot.
3.5.2.1 Sidewalk Width (350-11.6.F(2)(a)-(b))
No new sidewalks are proposed with the Project.
3.5.2.2 ADA Ramps (350-11.6.F(2)(c))
ADA compliant ramps are proposed at the west end of the Pulaski Park access to support
the bike path connection and at the east end of the project near the bus terminal access
to promote a through route. The bike path, which is available for pedestrian use, is at
grade and does not require a ramp.
3.5.2.3 Sidewalk at Driveway (350-11.6.F(2)(d)-(f))
No changes are proposed to the curb cut. The existing crosswalk will be maintained at
the entrance.
3.5.3 Stormwater (350-11.6.F(3))
The Project is a Major Project but is located in the Central Business district. A
stormwater permit application will be filed with DPW.
3.5.4 Medical Marijuana Facilities & New Buildings (350-11.6.F(4)-(5))
Not applicable to the proposed Project.
SECTION 4
Tighe&Bond
Roundhouse Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project
Site Plan Review Application 4-1
Section 4
General Standards
Section 4 discusses the project’s compliance with the General Performance Standards
set forth in 350-12.1.
4.1 General Standards (350-12.1)
The existing site use will not be changed by this project. The parking lot is believed to
be in conformance with the General Standards set forth in the Bylaw and there are no
known violations of the General Standards, including:
1. Effective confinement of emissions
2. Improper storage of flammable and explosive materials
3. Release of emissions that can cause damage or irritation to public health
4. Illicit discharges of waste to the ground or waterways or accumulations of waste
or debris
5. No emission of odorous gases or odoriferous matter
6. No emission of radioactive materials
7. No generation of electrical disturbances
8. No persistently loud or disruptive noise.
The site contractor awarded the construction contract will be required to develop and
submit the Engineer for approval a Health and Safety Plan to address the known
subsurface conditions at the site. Construction monitoring will occur by both
Engineering staff and Licensed Site Professionals to ensure the contractors operations
are in accordance with the Health and Safety Plan, the deed restrictions on the parcels,
and the Massachusetts Contingency Plan.
4.2 Lighting (350-12.2)
A new lighting system is proposed for the parking lot in accordance with the lighting
standards set forth in this section. The proposed lights will be comparable to those
installed in Pulaski Park and help to extend the established landscape and aesthetic into
the parking lot. Proposed fixtures will be Dark Sky compliant with full cut-offs. A
photometric plot will be provided for the Board’s consideration.
4.3 Significant Trees (350-12.3)
The project will include removal of four significant trees in the clearing and grubbing
area to the south of the existing lot. These trees include a 24-inch Norway Maple, a 24-
inch and a 29-inch Yellow Poplar, and a 24-inch Elm tree totaling 101-inches DBH of
removal. Per 350-12.3.E(1)(a), 51-inches of tree replacement is required to mitigate for
Tighe&Bond
Roundhouse Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project
Site Plan Review Application 4-2
this impact. Additional mature trees will also be removed in the clearing and grubbing
area as will invasive vines, dead and broken trees, and litter and debris.
The landscape plan for the parking lot includes thirty new 2.5-inch caliper tree plantings
within the parking lot. These new plantings account for 75 inches of replacement
caliper. The tree species were selected from the City’s tree list, as provided by the Tree
Warden. After consultation with the Licensed Site Professional of Record for the site, all
of the trees were located on the southern parcel of the Roundhouse lot due to the
presence of the subsurface barrier (overlaying contaminated soils) on the northern
parcel.
The remaining splitter islands on the northern parcel will be planted with native
pollinator species plants in partnership with Local Harmony and Western Mass Pollinator
Networks. The planting arrangement will have a shallower root system, while still
providing a significant ecological benefit to the northern parcel of the parking lot. The
linear nature of the splitter islands, and their north-south alignment, will help create a
wildlife connection between the Pulaski Park planting areas and the naturalized area
south of the Roundhouse Lot. The pollinator plantings will also act as an extension of
adjacent planting areas in the Park and along Crafts Avenue.

Re: Stormwater Management Permit Application
Roundhouse Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project
Dear Doug:
On behalf of the Department of Central Services, Tighe & Bond is pleased to provide one copy
of a Stormwater Management Permit application for the Roundhouse Parking Lot
Rehabilitation Project accessed from Old South Street in Northampton, Massachusetts.
Electronic Copy has also been provided for review.
The Roundhouse Parking Lot is a heavily used parking venue for downtown Northampton
visitors and employees and is frequently at full capacity throughout the day. The existing lot
is in poor condition and in need of rehabilitation. In addition, with the completion of Phase 2
of the Pulaski Park project, an informal parking area on the north side of the lot was
redeveloped as a park access. This area previously accommodated the parking demands of
the Roundhouse building tenants, who have right-by-deed to 22 parking spaces in the lot.
Those spaces are now distributed throughout the parking lot, effectively reducing capacity of
the lot. The proposed rehabilitation is intended to improve the conditions in the lot, while
also expanding the parking capacity to overcome the loss of the informal parking area. In
addition to the minor expansion of parking, the project will include new lighting and plantings
as well as modifications to the existing stormwater system.
As part of our application, we are requesting a waiver from the Peak Rate Attenuation
requirement based on the project’s location within the Central Business district. We are also
requesting relief from the groundwater recharge requirement as the site is fully underlain by
contaminated soils and infiltration is not an advisable practice.
We look forward to working with you as you review the enclosed Stormwater Management
Permit Application. If you have any questions, please contact me at (413) 875-1620 or
ADFagnand@tighebond.com.
Very truly yours,
TIGHE & BOND, INC.

Project Description
2.1 Project Introduction
On behalf of the City of Northampton (the “Applicant”), Tighe & Bond has prepared the
following Stormwater Management Report to support local permitting efforts for the
Roundhouse Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project located off Old South Street in
Northampton, Massachusetts.
The proposed project includes full depth reclamation of the existing Roundhouse Parking
Lot, expansion of the parking lot to the south, and reconstruction of the Manhan Rail Trail
between the Route 10 underpass and Old South Street. The project will improve
stormwater capture by improving grades and surface conditions in the lot, and also
improve stormwater quality with the addition of two stormwater treatment units added
online to the existing site drainage system.
A Site Location Map figure, Priority Resource figure, and Orthophotograph of the Project
site are provided in Appendix B as Figures 1-3 (respectively). Project plans are provided
separately.
2.2 Existing Conditions
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil data was obtained through the
Web Soil Survey portal on the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) NRCS
website. The areas including and surrounding the property were queried for soil types
according to the record soil survey maps maintained by NRCS. Soils within the project
area, as published in the USDA Soil Survey for Hampshire County, Version 15, dated June
9, 2020, include the Amostown, Amostown-Windsor and Hadley-Winooski associations, as
well as Urban Land. The NRCS Soils Mapping is provided in Appendix C. The hydrologic
soil group (HSG) and further description for each soil association is presented in Table 2.1
below.

the NRCS RUSLE2 Related Attributes table.
Section 2 Regulatory Compliance Tighe&Bond
Roundhouse Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project
Stormwater Management Report 2-2
The hydrologic soil group designation (HSG) for this soil type is listed as B. The HSG rating
for soil types is based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are assigned to one of four
groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected by
vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from long duration storms. Soils
designated as HSG B generally have a moderate infiltration capacity and are well drained
despite their finer texture.
The parking lot overlays parcels formerly housing the Northampton Gas Works and a
Railroad. Upon the donation of the properties to the City of Northampton, environmental
site assessments confirmed the presence of soil contamination on the parcels and several
surrounding parcels. Cleanup and containment of the contaminants is an ongoing process
with an Activity Use Limitation placed on the Roundhouse Parking Lot parcels in 2015. A
subsurface soil barrier was installed beneath a portion of the Roundhouse Parking lot to
protect against migration of the soil contamination.
Under existing conditions, stormwater runoff from the project area flows into catch basins
and discharges to the city drainage system. The existing catch basins were installed prior
to the requirement for deep sumps and hoods. Additionally, no treatment is provided in
the existing drainage system prior to discharge to the municipal system. The only recharge
provided is when stormwater leaves the site such as the existing wooded area to the south
of the site.
The runoff curve numbers (RCN) used in the calculation of the composite RCN for each
drainage area are based on the values provided in TR-55, Urban Hydrology for Small
Watersheds. RCN values vary depending on the type of ground cover and soil HSG. A
summary of the existing conditions runoff curve numbers is provided in Appendix D.
Existing Conditions Drainage Areas were delineated based on topography and stormwater
discharge location. An Existing Conditions Drainage Area Map is provided as Figure 4 in
Appendix B.
2.3 Floodplain Management
The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)
Community Panel Number 250167 0002 A, effective April 3, 1978 shows the project site
outside of any floodways or floodplains, as attached in Appendix B. Therefore, no
floodplain is identified on this site.
2.4 Proposed Improvements
The proposed site development involves full depth reclamation of the existing Roundhouse
parking lot, expansion of the parking lot to the south, and reconstruction of the Manhan
Rail Trail from the Route 10 underpass to Old South Street. This design has been prepared
in accordance with recommendations in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental
Protection (MassDEP) Stormwater Handbook.
Under proposed conditions, stormwater runoff from the project area follows existing flow
paths to collection in existing catch basins. Treatment for the majority of the parking lot
will be provided in hydrodynamic separators prior to discharge to the city drainage system.

Trail sheet flows to the south and into an existing depression where stormwater can
infiltrate. This pattern matches existing drainage conditions.
A summary of the proposed conditions runoff curve numbers is provided in Appendix D.
Proposed conditions drainage areas were delineated based on topography and stormwater
discharge location. A Proposed Conditions Drainage Area Map is provided as Figure 5 in
Appendix B.
The proposed stormwater management system treats the quality of stormwater discharge
from the site. The system includes existing catch basins and introduction of a best
management practice (BMP) – proprietary stormwater treatment units. Due to the
presence of contaminated soils within the site, a waiver is requested from the recharge
requirements. Similarly, a waiver is requested from the peak rate attenuation requirement
based upon the site location within the Central Business District and the impracticality of
peak rate attenuation on a contaminated site.
A brief description of the proposed Best Management Practices incorporated into the
stormwater management system are as follows:
Catch Basins: Existing catch basins provided throughout the site collect stormwater
runoff from the proposed parking areas and are connected to the project’s
stormwater collection system. These existing structures are being reused to
minimize disturbance to a highly contaminated site.
Proprietary Treatment Devices: Structural stormwater treatment devices,
proposed as Contech Cascade CS-4, are designed to mechanically separate
pollutants from stormwater flows through centrifugal force and vortex separation.
Units are proposed at the downstream runs of the existing stormwater
management system in the main portion of the parking lot prior to discharging into
the city drainage system. Each unit has been sized in accordance with guidance
provided by MassDEP to insure proper sediment removal efficiencies.
2.4 Hydrologic Analysis
A hydrologic analysis of the pre-development and post-development site was performed
to determine the impacts of the proposed project to peak discharge rates and stormwater
runoff volumes. HydroCAD Release 10.00-20 is a hydrology and hydraulics software using
Technical Release (TR) 20 and TR-55 methodologies for the determination of stormwater
runoff quantities. The HydroCAD Report for both pre- and post-development conditions
for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year storm events is provided in Appendix D.

Section 3
Regulatory Compliance
The project is required to comply with the City of Northampton Stormwater Management
Ordinance. The following sections demonstrate compliance with the ten Massachusetts
Stormwater Standards (Standards), which the Northampton Ordinance is based upon. The
Massachusetts Stormwater Checklist is provided in Appendix A.
3.1 LID Measures
MassDEP allows for reductions in structural stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP)
requirements for water quantity and quality when certain criteria are met. The proposed
project includes environmentally sensitive site design and low impact development
techniques; however, the applicant is not requesting credit for LID measures.
3.2 Standard 1: No New Untreated Discharges
The project will not result in any new stormwater conveyance discharging untreated
stormwater directly to the Waters of the Commonwealth. The proposed project results in
an increase in impervious ground surface, however no new stormwater discharges are
proposed.
3.3 Standard 2: Peak Discharge Rate Attenuation
The proposed project is redevelopment, therefore this standard is applicable to the
maximum extent practicable. Redevelopment of the Roundhouse parking lot results in an
increase in impervious ground surface. Due to the location of the site within the Central
Business District and the impracticality of attenuating peak rate on a contaminated site,
a waiver from the peak discharge rate attenuation requirement is requested. Existing
drainage pathways have been maintained to the maximum extent practicable. Runoff is
collected in existing catch basins, treated in proposed proprietary water quality units
located within the parking areas, and discharged to the city drainage system. The grassed
and wooded area immediately south of the Manhan Rail Trail sheet flows to the south and
into an existing depression where stormwater can infiltrate. Table 3.1 presents the results
of the pre-development stormwater runoff analysis versus the post-development
stormwater runoff analysis, previously described in Section 2.4, for project.

Table 3.1 indicates that existing peak discharge rates for the project and at Design Point
2, increase slightly for all storm events. Design Point 1 represents the drainage area
associated with the northern portion of the parking lot currently utilized as reserved
parking for the City Hall Annex. Design Point 2 represents the main portion of the parking
lot. Design Point 3 represents the grassed and wooded area immediately south of the
Manhan Rail Trail.
3.4 Standard 3: Groundwater Recharge
The proposed project is redevelopment; therefore this standard is applicable to the
maximum extent practicable. Redevelopment of the Roundhouse parking lot results in an
increase in impervious ground surface. Due to the location of the presence of
contaminated soils on the site, a waiver from the groundwater recharge requirement is
requested. MassDEP does not permit stormwater recharge through hazardous materials
such as the contaminated soils within the project area. Stormwater runoff from the project
area follows existing flow paths to collection in existing catch basins. Treatment for the
majority of the parking lot will be provided in hydrodynamic separators prior to discharge
to the city drainage system. The grassed and wooded area immediately south of the
Manhan Rail Trail sheet flows to the south and into an existing depression where
stormwater can infiltrate. Overall, the proposed design generally matches the flow regimes
and hydrology of the existing conditions.
3.5 Standard 4: Water Quality
Standard 4 of the Massachusetts Stormwater Standards addresses stormwater quality
requirements. This standard requires that new stormwater management systems be
designed to achieve an 80% Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal rate prior to discharge.
MassDEP has published presumed removal rates for each of the BMP’s featured in their
design guidelines. Additionally, this standard addresses the required volume of
stormwater runoff that is to be treated by the BMPs, as well as components of a long-term
source control and pollution prevention plan.
The proposed project is redevelopment, therefore this standard is applicable to the
maximum extent practicable. Stormwater treatment units are to be installed in the

existing drainage system prior to outlet to the city system. The following treatment train
has been incorporated into the design of the stormwater management system:
Treatment Train 1: This treatment train consists of proprietary water quality treatment
devices. The overall TSS removal for this train is 50%. A Street sweeping program is
recommended to further enhance TSS removal for this train and reduce the rate at which
sediment accumulates within the drainage system.
The grassed and wooded area immediately south of the Manhan Rail Trail will not be
collected by the proposed stormwater collection system and will discharge to the south.
This generally matches the flow regimes and hydrology of the existing conditions and will
not detrimentally impact off-site conditions.
The project will result in an improvement to stormwater quality for this site, while
minimizing interaction with the contaminated soils present beneath the surface.
3.6 Standard 5: Land Uses with Higher Potential
Pollutant Loads (LUHPPLs)
The proposed use is not considered a LUHPPL. Therefore, compliance with the additional
requirements of Standard 5 is not required.
3.7 Standard 6: Critical Areas
This standard does not apply because the project is not within a critical area, however the
project has been designed to improve water quality under proposed conditions. The
stormwater BMPs selected for the project remove 50% of annual average TSS loading
when constructed and maintained properly.
3.8 Standard 7: Redevelopment Projects
The project is considered a redevelopment; therefore, the project has been designed to
comply to the maximum extent practicable with Standards 2 and 3, and the pretreatment
and structural best management practice requirements of Standards 4, 5, and 6. The
project has been designed to fully comply with the remaining Standards.
3.9 Standard 8: Construction Period Pollution
Prevention, Erosion and Sedimentation Control
A construction period Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) is provided in Appendix
F. The ESCP presents the minimum soil erosion a sediment control practices to be used
during construction. General soil erosion and sedimentation control BMPs are indicated on
the Site Plans.
Additionally, there will be more than one acre of land disturbed as a result of this project,
therefore the construction will be required to comply with the Environmental Policy Act
(EPA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction General
Permit (CGP). Coverage under the CGP will be obtained before construction commenced
by the Contractor. The Contractor will be required file a Notice of Intent with the EPA and
Section 3 Regulatory Compliance Tighe&Bond
Roundhouse Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project

to implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) prior to construction. A
SWPPP was not prepared as part of this report.
3.10 Standard 9: Long-Term Operation and Maintenance
Plan
A Long-Term Stormwater Operations and Maintenance Plan is included in Appendix E of
this report. The O&M plan indicates the responsible parties for the project, routine and
non-routine maintenance tasks and inspection criteria. The O&M Plan also provides
guidance on long-term pollution prevention practices for the project.
3.11 Standard 10: Prohibition of Illicit Discharges
Illicit discharges to the stormwater management system are discharges that are not
entirely comprised of stormwater. Illicit discharge does not include discharges from the
following activities or facilities: firefighting, water line flushing, landscape irrigation,
uncontaminated groundwater, potable water sources, foundation drains, air conditioning
condensation, footing drains, individual resident car washing, flows from riparian habitats
and wetlands, dechlorinated water from swimming pools, water used for street washing,
and water used to clean residential buildings without detergents. A signed Illicit Discharge
Statement is provided in Appendix G.
3.12 Local Stormwater Management Regulations
The City of Northampton Stormwater Ordinance follows the Massachusetts Stormwater
Management Standards. Compliance with the Massachusetts Stormwater Management
Standards was demonstrated in this report.
