7. Test Pit # 1 submitted by the applicant show approximately 1.4 foot of separation
between the bottom of the proposed detention basin and the seasonal high ground water
level. While this does not meet the 4-foot separation required by the Northampton
Stormwater Management Ordinance, review of the drainage calculations by the DPW
shows that the proposed infiltration rate is not a significant factor in the functioning of
the proposed detention basin.

requests the following revisions to the Draft SWPPP:
-If the small bioretention basin located north of Station 9 +00 is proposed for use
as a temporary sediment pond during construction, this bioretention basin must be
carefully reconstructed to meet the projected infiltration performance of the
approved final design of this basin.
Specify the location, size and outlet of the proposed temporary sediment basins
on Plan Sheet PL -5.
-The proposed silt fence as shown on PL -5 must always be installed on the
construction side of the proposed limit of clearing and not within the wooded
area.
-Silt Fence and /or other erosion and sediment control structures may be necessary
during construction down gradient of the proposed detention basin located
northeast of the access road and adjacent to North King Street.
Define the protection of existing and new catch basins.
3. The Landscape Plan (L -6) specifies the area that will be cleared and the area that will
remain woods. Any expansion of the cleared area beyond that specified on the plan shall
require an amendment to the Stormwater Management Permit approved by the
