1.0 Proiect Description
The subject property is located at 3319 Stony Street in the Town of Yorktown Heights,
Westchester County, New York (see Figure 1.1 — Location Map and Figure 1-2 — Vicinity Map).
There is one parcel totaling 8.07 acres and is zoned both R1-20 Residential requiring a minimum
lot size of 20,000. The site is owned by Mr. Nikola Grishaj. There have been no enforcement
actions against the applicant for any violations of law relating to the proposed application. There
is an old asphalt driveway that runs from Stony Street and terminates approx. 250 ft into the site.
The majority of the site is woodland with some lawn around the existing driveway. There is a small
wetland area located near the northeast corner of the site. The northern border and parts of the
western border is bounded by an existing drainage channel. This channel is located within the
unimproved ROW of Scofield Road. The channel was created from a drainage pipe from high
point drive that outlets into the ROW and eroding the area over time. The channel connects to a
catch basin off the northeast corner of the site. The site slopes from the southwest corner to the
northern and eastern edges of the site. There is an existing sewer and drainage easement along
the southern border of the site with a 8" sewer main and drainage line running through the site.
It is proposed to subdivide the property into 12 lots. Lots 1 through 10 will be new
residential lots which will conform to current zoning. Lot 11 is the north east corner of the site that
contains the majority of the existing wetland. This lot is not proposed to be developed. Lot 12 is
the proposed road that will connect the site to Highpoint Drive and Shelley Street. The road will
terminate in a cul-de-sac. Each lot will have a driveway off of this road. An extension of the
watermain in Shelly Street to Stony Street will is also proposed for this project. The proposed
watermain will follow the path of the proposed road and connect to the watermain in Stony Street.
Each house will have a service connection to the proposed main. A sewer main is also proposed
for this project. It will also follow the path of the road, maintaining a 10' setback from the
watermain. The residences on lots 1 through 5 will have a service connection to the sewer main.
Lots 6 through 10 shall connect to the existing sewer main along the southern border of the site.
Stormwater will be managed by filtering and infiltration of the water quality volume and detention
of flood storage volumes. Each lot will have its own rain garden system, and the proposed private
road will have an infiltration basin for treatment. The total disturbance expected for the project is
4.54 acres. The proposed start date for the project will be June 2022 and will be completed by
June 2023.
As required by the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from
Construction Activity, GP-0-20-001, Part IIIA.8, an historic resource screening determination was
conducted. This was done using the online tools at the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and
Historic Places (OPRHP) website. This screening determined that there are no areas with historic
or archeological sensitivity near the site. Figure 1.3 — NYS OPRHP Historic Resource Map was
created from the website showing sensitive areas in Yorktown Heights.
The following Report and Plans included in Appendix M describe, in detail, the design and
implementation of the Stormwater Management Plan.
2.0 Stormwater Reaulatory Reauirements
2.1 Stormwater Impacts
Urban stormwater impacts relate to significant changes to stormwater quantity and quality
as a result of land development. "Urban Development has a profound influence on the quality of
New York's waters."' This proposed development will change the runoff characteristics of this
' New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual, January 2015, Page 2-1
Page 5 of 27
site altering the quantity and quality of the surface stormwater. The impacts of this must be
mitigated by managing the stormwater prior to discharge. This would be accomplished by the
capture and treatment of surface runoff prior to discharge.
Development of a site alters the hydrology therefore changing the characteristics of the
surface and groundwater discharge of runoff. Changing the surface conditions alters a site's
natural ability to store, treat, or infiltrate runoff. The change also allows for the discharge of
potentially damaging pollutants and sediments to adjoining water bodies. This can occur during
the construction phase, and long-term after development. During the construction phase, graded,
destabilized, areas are subject to erosion which can cause the displacement of sediment. After
development, changes in the surface conditions, such as impervious surfaces, roofs and
pavement, or lawn surfaces can generate pollutants which would be collected and discharged
through runoff. Some of the pollutants of concern are: Total Suspended Solids (TSS); Biological
Oxygen Demand (BOD); Total Phosphorus (TP); and Total Nitrogen (TN), as well as oil or grease,
and chloride.
The most common sources of these pollutants from developed sites are atmospheric
deposition, fertilizers, pesticides, and leaked discharges from vehicle. These pollutants would
collect on these impervious surfaces and quickly wash off during even the smallest storm event.
In the planning and design of the development, stormwater will be managed to minimize
potential impacts. A Stormwater Management and Pollution Prevention Plan will be prepared.
This Plan will deal with all aspects of the stormwater management programs such as identifying
potential pollutant sources, design of temporary and permanent features, implementation, and
maintenance.
2.2 Reaulatory Obligation
2.2.1 USEPA/NYSDEC
The Federal Government's Clean Water Act (CWA), Section 402 states "Stormwater
discharges from certain construction activities are unlawful unless they are authorized by a
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") permit or by a state permit program."
New York State is a NPDES delegated State. The necessary permitting is administered through
the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) under the General Permit, GP-0-20-
001, for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity. The Permit requires that any
development meeting the disturbance thresholds listed in Tables 1 and 2 of Appendix B of the
General Permit must prepare a SWPPP. Activities listed in Table 1 requires preparation of only
an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. Those listed in Table 2 would additionally require post -
construction stormwater management practices. This project requires an E&SC and a SWPPP.
This project requires filing a Notice of Intent under the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation General Permit 0-20-001. This project has a disturbance which is
more than one acre. It is not located in an Enhanced Phosphorous Watershed (EPW). Therefore
this project requires the preparation of a full Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
The Plan identifies the potential sources of pollution, and a design prepared and
implemented to reduce pollutant loadings. This project will be required to prepare the following to
be in compliance:
Notice of Intent registered with the NYS DEC;
Page 6 of 27
• MS4 SWPPP Acceptance Form signed by an authorized representative of the
Municipality;
• Prepare an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan;
• Design and implement a stormwater quality treatment system to capture and treat the
stormwater runoff volume generated by the 1 year rainfall event.
• Design and implement a stormwater management system to capture and attenuate all
storm events up to the 100-year storm.
2.2.2 Local Municipality
In addition, this project requires approval under Chapter 248, Stormwater Management
and Erosion and Sediment Control, of the Town of Yorktown Code. The Code requires compliance
for projects with a land disturbance activity of 5,000 s.f. or more. The Code requires compliance
with the NYS DEC GP-0-20-001
3.0 Reducing Pollutant Impacts
3.1 Sources of Impact
For this project, the potential for contamination of stormwater occurs both during
construction and after the completion of development. The goal to achieve reduced impacts
involves containment and treatment of the various pollutants.
Each phase will require temporary sediment and erosion control measures. The greatest
source of pollutants during these phases is the potential of soil erosion. The nature of the
construction plan is to have exposed soils which can erode and potentially discharge to sensitive
areas. During construction, existing vegetation is removed exposing soils. Also, stockpiling of
soils takes place. These conditions if not stabilized, are subject to erosion during rainfall events
and wind conditions. Sediment discharged to a wetland can destroy vegetation and habitat
affecting the function of the wetland. This degradation potential can be irreversible and eliminate
its function in the ecosystem. Increases in turbidity to open water bodies such as streams, ponds,
etc., are an additional environmental impact.
The implementation of proper erosion control measures and sediment containment along
with a planned construction sequence can minimize or eliminate these potential impacts. The
selection and implementation of erosion and sediment practices are described in a later section
of this Report.
The post -development state of this project not only will yield a potential for sediment
discharges or Total Suspended Solids (TSS), but also other pollutants which can impact the
adjacent water bodies. The contaminants of highest concern are Total Phosphorus (TP), Total
Nitrogen (TN), and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). Modification of the surface conditions
of the site, specifically increasing the impervious nature of the ground cover, increases the
concentration and potential discharge of these pollutants. The development of the site reduces
native vegetative cover, and therefore affects the land's natural ability to store, treat or infiltrate
runoff. This includes impervious surfaces, such as roads, buildings, and also landscaped areas,
specifically lawns. These increases in imperviousness allow for greater concentrations or
pollutants to collect and be carried off by runoff. Some of the pollutants are deposited by
atmospheric conditions. However, other sources are applied or discharged to the surface of the
site. The landscape areas are subject to fertilizers, weed control, and pesticide products. This
Page 7 of 27
too is a large potential for pollutants which if discharged untreated could have long term impacts.
A full listing of the potential pollutants which can be considered in stormwater can be found in
Table 2.1 of the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual (NYS SMDM).
The concentrations are collected in stormwater runoff and rapidly discharge to the
adjacent water bodies if not treated properly. The pollutants are collected and conveyed during
the initial part of the storm event or the 90% rainfall. This is 90% of the average annual stormwater
runoff volume. For this part of the State it is equivalent to approximately 1.2 inches. This is also
commonly referred to as the "first flush." The requirement of the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit
GP-0-20-001 requires that this volume of runoff is to be collected and treated by the means
described in the NYS SMDM. The method to be used is the unified stormwater sizing criteria in
which a water quality volume is determined and a practice is selected which best fits the criteria
provided. This is described further in Section 6.0.
Further treatment is required to enhance the phosphorus removal since this project is
located within the NYC Croton Reservoir East of Hudson which is a phosphorus enhanced
watershed. As stated earlier, in order to comply with the NYS DEC Enhanced Phosphorus
Removal Standards, the WQv to be treated to be the one-year, 24-hour storm.
3.2 Stormwater Management During Construction
The Erosion and Sediment Control plan will be implemented during all phases of
construction until the completion of the project. This will minimize or eliminate the potential short-
term adverse impacts which may occur during construction. After completion, the erosion and
sediment control will become a maintenance plan to ensure that permanent erosion and sediment
controls continue to function and prevent the transport of sediments.
The Erosion and Sediment Control plan includes the Sequence of Construction and
designed measures to be installed, operated and maintained during all aspects of construction.
The appropriate measures were selected and detailed in plan for implementation by the site
contractor. The main objective of the plan is to prevent erosion from occurring by stabilization of
the construction site where possible. Sediment controls are to be used as a containment system
to allow the removal of sediment from runoff to the greatest extent possible before leaving the
work site. Control methods and standards utilized are provided in the NYSSESC.
Potential sources of destabilization of the site have been determined so that proper
measures will be used. The locations and methods designed for erosion and sediment control
measures change as the construction sequence progresses. The priority is to stabilize disturbed
areas subject to erosion and use containment and / or filtering practices where sediment may
concentrate. Some of the practices and methods that will be used for this project are:
• Minimization of open disturbance by use of stabilizers such as seed, mulch, and
erosion blankets, stone, etc. Areas not subject to construction traffic for extended
periods will be temporarily stabilized.
• The work areas will be contained. Down grade perimeters will be lined with barriers
such as silt fence, diversions, berms, etc.
• Where possible, clean stormwater will be diverted away or around the work site to
reduce the amount of runoff requiring treatment.
• Sediment traps will be constructed where heavy concentrations of runoff may
accumulate.
• Dust control measures will be maintained on -site such as water trucks.
• Runoff will be prevented from gaining erosive velocities on long slopes. This can be
achieved with seed and mulch, erosion control blankets, curb dams and multiple rows
of silt fence.
Page 8 of 27
• Existing drainage structures will be protected from sediment -laden runoff.
• Regular weekly inspections and reports (see Appendix K for report form) to be filed
with the Operator and Town.
Additional methods of practices may be employed dependent on the situation. The
NYSSESC consists of NYS DEC accepted and recommended practices. The design
requirements of temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control practices of this Manual
have been followed.
Prior to completion of the project, all permanent structural features will be cleaned,
restored, and re -vegetated as necessary. The erosion and sediment control phase of the project
is complete when all work is done and all areas are stabilized. The post -construction Stormwater
Management Inspection and Maintenance Agreement (Schedule "B" in Appendix L) will describe
the long term inspection schedule, periodic maintenance requirements, and the responsible party.
3.3 Stormwater Management Post -Construction
The post -construction design of the project must be included in the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention and Stormwater Management Plans to minimize or eliminate potential long-term
adverse impacts which might be caused by surface runoff from the site. This will deal with the
management of the stormwater upon completion and operation of the site. The plan will be an
analysis of all potential impacts due to stormwater and the means of protecting adjoining water
bodies.
The management plan begins with conceptual designs of the collection and conveyance
system and the proposed treatment practices. The treatment practices are subject to different
parameters and must be designed to best fit the site including green infrastructure planning.
Some of the limitations that may be encountered include soil types and properties, depth to
groundwater or bedrock, distance to structures, and maintenance. A list of acceptable practices
can be found in Chapters 3, 5, and 10 of the NYS Stormwater Design Manual (SMDM). Chapter
3 states "The Practices on this list are selected based on the following criteria:
1. Can capture and treat the full water quality volume (WQV)
2. Are capable of 80% TSS removal and 40% TP removal
3. Have acceptable longevity in the field
4. Have a pre-treatment mechanism."
Green Infrastructure Practices include
I. Preservation of Natural Resources
II. Reduction of Impervious Cover
III. Runoff Reduction Techniques
The five broad groups of standard stormwater management practices are:
I. Stormwater Ponds
II. Stormwater Wetlands
III. Infiltration Practices
IV. Filtering Practices
V. Open -channel Practices
These practices "are presumed to meet water quality requirements set forth in this manual
if designed in accordance with the sizing criteria presented in Chapter 4 and constructed in
Page 9 of 27
accordance with the performance criteria in Chapter 6." 2 This however is modified with the fact
that the project must meet the enhanced phosphorus criteria in Chapter 10.
Green Infrastructure — Runoff Reduction
Chapter 3 of the NYS DEC introduces a planning process for site development which has
"increased emphasis on a holistic approach" to urban stormwater runoff management. This is to
be done by reducing pollutant -laden runoff by the use of green infrastructure which promotes
replication of pre -development hydrology. This is done by designing selected practices which will
allow for infiltration, ground water recharge, reuse, recycling and evaporation/evapotranspiration
of surface runoff Water Quality Volumes from developed areas.
The implementation of this planning process is defined in a five step approach as follows:
1. Preservation of features and reduction of impervious surfaces.
2. Determination of the project's Water Quality Volume.
3. Incorporating green infrastructure and standard stormwater management
practices that provide a Runoff Reduction Volume Capacity.
4. Use of standard stormwater management practices to treat Water Quality
Volume not addressed by green infrastructure.
5. Design of storage facility for volume and peak rate volumes.
This methodology is provided in more detail in Chapter 3 of the SMDM as well as the Flow
Chart at the end of Chapter 3 (see Figure 3.1).
This process is required for new and redevelopment projects. Chapter 4 Section 4.3
requires the calculation of Runoff Reduction Volume (RRv) and that 100% of post -development
Water Quality Volume should be treated on -site using green infrastructure or standard SMP's. If
this goal cannot be met, at a minimum, a specific reduction factor(s) based on the hydrologic soil
group (HSG) can be applied but justification must be provided as to why the pre -construction
condition cannot be met.
Enhanced Phosphorus Removal Standards
The enhanced phosphorus standards were developed for projects located in phosphorus
limited watersheds in order to meet water quality objectives for these watersheds. Enhanced
phosphorus removal is required. This will require the implementation of the criteria in Chapter 10
of SMDM where additional performance standards must be implemented. In these standards,
the WQv is computed to be the entire one-year 24-hour design storm for the post -development
watershed. The one-year storm volume is determined using the SCS Method. The developed
volume becomes the basis for treating the WQv as per Chapter 4 of the SMDM including the five
steps that apply to runoff reduction.
The design will meet enhanced phosphorous removal standards for achieving water
quality standards. The guidelines and practices used in selecting and the sizing analyses are
found in Chapters 5, 6 and 10 of the NYS DEC Stormwater Management Design Manual January
2015.
After the preliminary selection of treatment practices, the water quality volume size will be
determined.
2 Pg. 3-7 NYS Stormwater Management Design Manual, January 2015.
Page 10 of 27
The treatment methods could be a single practice or a combination of practices. The
previously described controlling factors will initially eliminate some treatment methods. The
remaining practices will be selected based on feasible locations, functionality, maintenance
factors, and cost. An additional factor is to try and select practices which will not only provide an
environmental benefit, but also aesthetic value.
The practices selected for the project were chosen with these requirements in mind. The
treatment practice selected is based off of the six steps enumerated in chapter 3 of the manual.
As stated above, the first step in this process is site planning and preservation of features.
Due to the nature of this project, this step controlled a good deal of the placing of project
infrastructure. On this site, there are several wetland areas It was important to limit any
disturbance to these sensitive areas. To prevent disturbance, all of the projects infrastructure was
placed outside of the wetlands and the 100' buffer. In addition to this, impervious areas were
limited to the greatest extent possible and meet minimum dimensional requirements. Additionally,
the majority of the rear of the site contains steep slopes. There is no proposed disturbance in
these areas as well. All of the proposed site work has been limited to prevent the disturbance of
sensitive features.
The second step was to assess the water quality volume for the specific drainage areas
of the project. This was done using the one year storm as opposed to the 90% storm event. As
there is no existing impervious cover on the site, redeveloped impervious area was not figured
into the calculations. This is gone into greater detail in section 6.2 below.
The third step in the process is the application of runoff reducing techniques or standard
practices with runoff reducing capabilities. The soils testing on the site revealed groundwater at
shallow depths. In some tests, ground water was found as shallow as 24". As a result, the use of
infiltration practices was infeasible in most locations. Rain Gardens with underdrains have been
selected as the primary treatment practice. An infiltration basin is also proposed to provide
treatment for the proposed road. These practices are ideal due to the site constraints, their ability
to treat runoff, and the runoff reducing capabilities of the rain gardens and infiltration. All
stormwater management practices have been designed to maintain the minimum required
separation from groundwater. All of the proposed stormwater treatment practices area listed in
the 2015 NYS DEC SWDM as either a green infrastructure practice, or a standard practice that
contributes towards the RRv.
Step four is to address the minimum Runoff Reduction Volume. This volume is based on
the proposed site conditions and the existing soil on the site. Depending on the hydrologic soil
group of the soil, the minimum runoff reduction will differ. This is provided for by the proposed
stormwater treatment practices. The proposed rain gardens are listed in the 2015 NYS DEC
SWDM as a Green Infrastructure practice that contributes towards the RRv. The infiltration basin
is listed as a standard practice that contributes towards RRv. The calculations for determining this
can be found in appendix H of this SWPPP.
Step five is the treatment of any of the remaining WQv with standard treatment techniques.
This step did not apply to this project as the selected practices provided the full WQv.
The sixth and final step in the process is the design of a practice to attenuate peak runoff
rates. This is achieved by the primary treatment practices. As such no additional practices are
needed.
After applying these steps to the design process, the selected treatment practice will be
Rain Gardens for the individual lots, and an inflation basin for the proposed private road. They
were chosen due to their capacity to hold and treat the water quality volume, and their additional
Page 11 of 27
runoff reducing capabilities. They also provide enough storage to attenuate peak flows. The Rain
Gardens meet all of the requirements set forth in chapters 3, 5, and 10. They were chosen based
on the characteristics and limitations of the site and to satisfy all of the requirements these
chapters impose on the stormwater management of a project.
4.0 Site Characteristics
4.1 Soils
On -site soils were classified by using the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) Websoil survey for Westchester County, NY, see Figure 4.1 — Soil Map.
The predominant soil types for this project are Charlton loam, Charlton -Chatfield complex,
Paxton loam, Woodbridge loam, and Ridgebury loam. These soils are poor to well drained soils
that are subject to seasonal groundwater. The Hydrologic classification of these soils are B, C, or
D. The erosion hazard level for these soils are slight to moderate. These soil properties are
essential in the design and proper construction management of the site. Independent soil tests
were performed and the results are located in the Appendix E of this Report.
Sect 4.1
• Ridgebury Loam, RgB, RdA, RdB, Hydrologic Soil Group B/D moderate slopes very stony;
moderate erosion hazard
• Paxton Loam, PnB, PnC, PnD, PoD, Hydrologic Soil Group C moderate slopes very stony;
moderate erosion hazard
• Woodbridge loam, WdB, WdC Hydrologic Soil Group c/D moderate slopes very stony;
moderate erosion hazard
Deep Test Soil Logs and soil percolation test data are included in Appendix E of this
Report. The locations of these deep soil tests are indicated on the Construction Drawings. On -
site soil investigation and knowledge of the soil groups facilitated the selection of coefficient
values used for the pre- and post -development pollutant load scenarios. Additionally, curve
numbers were determined for use in the analysis.
4.2 Hydrology
The proposed improvements will not significantly change the surface runoff patterns.
Runoff flows from the Southwest corner of the site to the northern border where it enters the
drainage channel, or eastern borders where it enters the drainage system in Stony Street. The
surface runoff pattern is a combination of sheet flow and concentrated flow. The majority of the
site is woods with moderate to steep slope.
Under the proposed condition the general direction of the surface runoff will not be altered.
Almost the entire amount of surface runoff from the impervious areas will be collected and treated.
The proposed improvements as shown will result in an increase in the imperviousness of the
drainage area. Therefore, there will be an increase in the volume of runoff as well as the pollutant
loads generated by the site for a given rainfall event. This will be mitigated with stormwater
management practices.
In the planning, design and construction of the development, stormwater will be managed
to minimize or eliminate potential off -site impacts. The proper implementation of temporary
sediment and erosion control measures are used to achieve this goal. An Erosion and Sediment
Control Plan has been established and will be implemented during all phases of construction until
the completion of the project. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan incorporates the sequence
Page 12 of 27
of construction and designed measures to be installed, operated and maintained during all
aspects of each phase. The erosion and sediment controls are designed in accordance with the
NYS Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control.
5.0 Hydrologic Analysis
The method used to compute project runoff was the Soil Conservation Service TR-55.
The basis for the analysis was the Type III, 24-hour storm, for the 1 year, 2 year, 10 year, 25 year,
and 100-year storm event. The rainfall depth for the respective storm events are 3.1, 3.5, 5.0,
6.0, and 7.5. The runoff coefficient "CN" and Time of Concentration for existing and post -
development conditions were computed using Standard TR-55 criteria.
5.1 Pre -Development Condition
As stated, the portion of the site to be developed with new homes is wooded and lawn
areas. Therefore, the only change in surface conditions will be the proposed impervious surfaces
of the road, the houses and driveways. The remainder will continue to be woods and lawn.
Therefore, the analysis for stormwater increases has been done for these individual impervious
components. The contributing watersheds are shown on Figure 5.1 — Pre -Development
Watershed Map.
The site has been divided into two distinct watersheds. There is a catch basin in stony
street about midway along the property. This serves as the main drainage divide for the site. The
flow that does not enter this catch basin enters on further down stony street that is connect to the
drainage channel. Drainage area 1 is the portion of the site that flows to the first catch basin in
stony street. The majority of this area is woods and lawn. Drainage area 2 is the area directly to
the north of this area and flows to the catch basin at the northeast corner. Runoff either flows to
stony street and then into this catch basin or to the channel to the north and into the catch basin
from there. The majority of the area is woodlands, with some open space and impervious cover.
The Drainage Basin sizes, curve numbers and travel times used in the analysis are
summarized in the Table below:
Pre -Development Conditions Watershed Analysis Variables
Drainage Basin Area Curve Number Travel Time, Tc
(acres) CN hrs
DA-1 3.70 71 0.345
DA-2 4.92 71 0.336
5.2 Post -Development Condition
A hydrologic analysis has been done for each of the new lots and the proposed private
road to determine the expected runoff depth for each storm event. The results of this analysis
were used to calculate the Rain Garden sizes required for each lot. Additional detention basins
were sized to accommodate the 100-year storm event. The contributing watersheds are shown
on Figure 5.2 — Post -Development Watershed Map.
The hydrologic analysis assumes that full soil restoration as required in Chapter 5 (Table
5.3) of SMDM will be implemented. The areas of soil restoration will be shown on the E&SC Plan
if required (See Figure 5.3).
Page 13 of 27
The post developed watersheds have been further broken down into 13 drainage areas.
The general path of runoff is the same with all areas draining to one of the two catch basins
adjacent to the site. The first two drainage areas are the same as they are in the predeveloped
condition less the areas to be developed. They are the areas that flow unhindered towards the
streams on site. Drainage areas 3 — 12 are the individual lots created by subdividing the site.
Each lot will have its own rain garden for treatment of the water quality volume. On most lots,
runoff will sheet flow into the rain garden and be treated therein. The Rain Gardens in Lots 1, 2,
3, 7, 9, and 10 will also have additional detention beneath the system. These rain gardens will
have a riser pipe for overflow to the detention so that ponding will not exceed 6" in the rain garden.
The detention systems will outlet downstream to the proposed bypass structure for the infiltration
chambers for Drainage area 13. The Rain Gardens in lots 4, 5, 6, and 8 will have a weir overflow
downstream. Drainage areas 13 includes the proposed road, and any other adjacent areas that
are captured. Runoff will sheet flow to the road, where it will enter the proposed storm sewer
which will direct it into the proposed infiltration basin. This will provide treatment as well as
detention. The infiltration basin will have an emergency overflow outlet to provide controlled
release of runoff exiting the infiltration basin. Flows from storms in excess of the 1 year storm will
be bypassed to detention chambers which will outlet to a rip rap stabilized outlet. There will be no
discharges associated with industrial activities other than construction as a result of the
development.

6.0 Unified Stormwater Sizing Criteria
6.1 Methodology
To satisfy the requirements of the NYS DEC General Permit and the Town of Yorktown a
combination of Green Infrastructure Techniques and standard practices have been selected.
These practices meet attenuation as well as stormwater quality goals. The guidelines and
practices used in selecting and the sizing analyses are found in Chapters 4, 5, and 6 of the NYS
DEC Stormwater Management Design Manual.
Page 14 of 27
6.2 Water Qualitv Volume (WQv
The Treatment volumes are determined as prescribed by the standard methods as
outlined in the NYS DEC SMDM. This Water Quality Volume WQv requirement is normally based
on the 90% rainfall event. This equates to 90% of the average rainfall for the specific region.
However, for this project the treatment volumes exceed that requirement by treating the 1-year
storm event. This site is located in the Croton Watershed which is an enhanced phosphorous
basin. This requires implementation of the enhanced phosphorus standards for the capture and
treatment of the runoff from the 1-year, 24-hour rainfall event, which represents the water quality
volume.
The 1-year, 24-hour runoff volume required to be captured and treated has been further
defined as the runoff volume from the contributing drainage areas for the proposed project. The
volume proposed to be captured will be that volume generated by a 1-year, 24-hour storm or
greater. With the design provided, this entire volume will be captured and retained for an extended
period of 24-hours for pollutants to settle out of the contained runoff. Excess stormwater above
the water quality volume will be diverted to subsurface storage for the larger storm events. The
volumes to be treated have been calculated as shown in the following table.
Water Qualitv Volume

DA-3 352.44 --- 534.3 90%

These volumes meet the requirements of the NYS DEC and Town of

for the limitation of phosphorous export.
Page 15 of 27
The water quality volume required to be captured and treated has been further defined as
the runoff volume from the impervious surface that will result from the proposed project. The
volume proposed to be captured will be that volume generated by the 1 year rainfall event or
greater. With the design provided, this entire volume will be captured and detained for an
extended period of 24-hours for pollutants to settle out of the contained runoff. Excess stormwater
above the water quality volume will be released at a controlled rate providing attenuation of larger
storm events. The volumes to be treated have been calculated as shown in the following table.
6.3 Runoff Reduction (RRv)
Green infrastructure design as part of the planning process enables the reduction of runoff
from a project. These practices in turn reduce the requirements of water quality treatment and
flood protection. The selection of green infrastructure practices is developed using a five -step
process detailed in Section 3 of the SMDM. A flow chart of this process is included as Figure 3.1
of this Report. Design of the practices can be found in Appendix H of this Report. The selection
and justification of green practices can be found in Appendix G of this Report.
6.4 Stream Channel Protection Volume Reauirements (CPv)
This requirement is for the protection of stream channels from receiving erosive velocities.
This goal is accomplished by providing 24-hour extended detention of the one-year, 24-hour storm
event that remains after runoff reduction is applied to the project. Trout waters may be exempted
to only provide 12-hour detention. It is also not required if the discharge is to a pipe or hardened
channel. The detention time is measured by the center of mass method or plug flow calculation
method. Further criteria for the application of the Cpv can be found in Section 4.4 of the SMDM.
6.5 Overbank Flood Control (Qp)
The purpose of this sizing criteria for overbank flood control is to avoid an increase in the
frequency and magnitude of out -of -bank flooding that may be the result of development. These
are flow events where channel capacity is exceeded and spill over to flood plains. To meet the
criteria the proposed stormwater management system for the project must attenuate the 10-year,
24-hour storm event to pre -development peak discharge rate. Detailed criteria can be found in
Section 4.5 of the SMDM.
6.6 Extreme Flood Control Criteria (Qf
The purpose of the extreme flood analysis is to prevent flood damage from large storm
events by maintaining predevelopment 100-year flood plain boundaries and protecting the
integrity of stormwater management practices. The basis of the analysis is to maintain pre -
development peak rates of runoff for the 100-year, 24-hour storm event with proper stormwater
management. Detailed criteria can be found in Section 4.6 of the SMDM.
A summary of peak discharge rates at each design point for the pre and post -developed
storm events analyzed for each drainage basin is summarized in the tables below:

As can be seen by the results, peak discharge rates are decreased for all scenarios.
Therefore, the overall post developed peak flow has been reduced. From this it can be determined
that there will be no impacts on downstream receiving waters as all peak flows have been
attenuated.
7.0 Stormwater Management Practices Selection. Justification and Design
The stormwater management practices selection process detailed in Chapters 3 and 7 of
the NYS Stormwater Management Design Manual was followed to help select the practices
chosen. These Chapters provide a series of matrices which allows logical selection of treatment
practices based on several factors. The factors are as follows:
1. Land Use - rural;
2. Physical Feasibility - location, slope, drainage area, groundwater table;
3. Watershed / Regional Factors - near Croton Reservoir;
4. Stormwater Management Capability - can meet all requirements;
5. Community and Environmental Factors - meets all requirements.
The matrices are provided in Appendix G of this Report. The matrices have been
commented on or redacted to show elimination criteria through this stepped approach and
eventual possible alternatives for treatment.
Thermal impacts are not a major concern on this project due to the lack of impervious
surfaces. Surface water flows will travel mostly over or through vegetated cover whether through
the woods or swales prior to discharge into the Water Quality Basins. Therefore, the stormwater
collection and management will not contribute to the heating of stormwater where it will have a
downstream thermal impact.
Page 17 of 27
Rain Garden NYSDEC SMDM:
A Water Quality Volume was determined for each of the treatment areas and discharged into the
associated Rain Garden. The Stormwater Management Practice selected is a Rain Garden as
described in the NYS DEC SMDM. This design is a combination of an extended detention and
peat/sand filter bed for the treatment of water. The basin is supplemented with plantings and
blended into the landscape features of the project. The Basin has been located at the lowest
possible hydraulic location to intercept and treat runoff. As described in earlier sections of this
report, the required Water Quality Volume has been exceeded in the design. The Water Quality
Volumes are summarized in Section 6.2. A typical cross section of the proposed Rain Garden
can be found in the Plan Set.
The Rain Garden is designed to have runoff sheet flow directly into the system. The water quality
volume is treated by providing extended detention to temporarily store the WQv and pass it
through a filter bed of top soil, and a peat/sand mix. Filtered runoff is then collected in an
underdrain system and discharged to the main collection system before reaching the discharge
point. Partial exfiltration into the surrounding soils may also occur. This will provide the necessary
storage for channel and flood protection. The bottom of the pond should maintain a 2 foot
separation from the ground water table. The soil logs noted above indicate that sufficient depth
is available at the proposed location to provide the required separation.
The following is the size criteria for the practice as per Chapter 6 of the NYS SMDM:
- Typical length to width ratio of 1.5:1;
- Filter media shall be a peat/sand mix (reed -sedge hemic peat shall be used);
- Underdrain system;
- Provide the required minimum filter bed surface area;
The selection of the treatment practice was based on evaluating the site to determine what
would best fit the conditions providing maximum benefits. The goal was to select practices which
would meet treatment and attenuation standards and minimize the disturbance footprint. The
selection of Stormwater Practices was based on the surface and subsurface conditions of the
site. In addition, the site design concept is to create a natural and environmentally sensitive
setting. The high groundwater table made practices with an underdrain a necessity.
See Routing Calculations in Appendix F and H for sizing calculations.
Infiltration — Subsurface Chambers (1-3) NYS DEC SMDM:
Stormwater Infiltration Practices capture and temporarily store stormwater. The
stormwater is then infiltrated into the existing soil strata over an extended period of time allowing
recharge into the groundwater.

In General:
Controls should be inspected periodically for the first few months after construction
and on a semi-annual basis thereafter. They should also be inspected after major
storm events (greater than 0.5 inches).
All stormwater controls shall be inspected and cleaned of any debris or sediment.
Any erosion shall be repaired and stabilized with seeding and mulch or stone.
Page 19 of 27
Please note that additional notes regarding maintenance activities are contained on the
project Construction Drawings and should be adhered to during and after construction.
The selection and justification of green practices can be found in Appendix G of this
Report. The design of the practices can be found in Appendix H of this Report.
8.0 Erosion and Sediment Control
Erosion and sediment control practices were selected and designed in accordance with
the NYSSESC. The practices proposed for this project are described below. Standard details
and specifications are included in Appendix J as well as on the Construction Plans. Initial
locations of each practice are shown on the Plans as construction progresses it may become
necessary to repair, replace or relocate these practices as conditions warrant.
Stabilized Construction Entrance:
This has been specified for the entrance of the driveway. The installation will occur at the
beginning of the project as described in the Suggested Construction Sequence. It will be
maintained so as to prevent the tracking of sediment off -site.
Silt / Sediment Fence and Haybales:
Silt fence and haybales have been specified to control and contain sediment from leaving
areas under disturbance to undisturbed areas. The fence shall be installed as best as possible
following the contours and will be spaced in accordance with the NYSSESC. The fence will be
inspected daily, repaired, and sediment removed as necessary.
Soil Stockpile:
Areas are provided for temporary stockpiling of delivered soil material for the construction.
These areas will be contained with sediment fence to prevent the movement of sediment. The
stockpiles, if not active for more than seven (7) days, will be seeded and mulched. The stockpile
areas were placed to best suit the proposed construction activity. The stockpile will be installed
as described in the Construction Sequence.
Temporary and Permanent Vegetative Cover:
This stabilization measure may be temporary and in other cases permanent vegetative
cover is used. The vegetative cover specifications are based on the NYSSESC Manual. On the
Constructions Plans are notes, locations, and specifications as to the vegetative cover
requirements. In the notes, there are specific situations and time constraints related to
stabilization of disturbed areas. The specifications give seed and fertilizer mixes as well as
placement. Any disturbed area expected to remain exposed for more than seven (7) days shall
receive temporary vegetative cover.
Storm Drain Inlet Protection:
The inlet protection is specified to provide a permeable barrier around drainage inlets to
reduce sediment content in runoff before entering the storm drain system.
Erosion Blankets:
Erosion blankets and seeding shall be used for the stabilization of slopes 3:1 or greater or
as otherwise specified. The blankets shall be installed as per the Plans and Details, and the
Page 20 of 27
manufacturer's specifications. They shall be stapled or staked in place as per the manufacturer's
specifications. The blankets may be installed at locations other than those shown on the Plans
as directed by the Town Engineer, Project Engineer, or other persons inspecting the site under
the direction of the aforementioned.
Soil Restoration:
Soil restoration is a required practice for construction projects where soil compaction
occurs to soils which will be permanently vegetated. This compaction is typically a result of heavy
vehicle traffic, cutting or filling, and areas which may receive heavy surcharges. This becomes
more pronounced in soils with greater fines content specifically when wet. These actions can
change soil properties which affect its ability to drain or absorb surface water and will also affect
the survivability of vegetation. In order to maintain the integrity of the stormwater management
plan these areas must receive soil restoration. See Figure 8.1 taken from the NYSSMDM for
requirements.
This project has soils which fall in the hydrologic soil group HSG "C." Therefore, for most
instances, soil restorations are required for the development areas subject to permanent
vegetation. Soil restoration can be done by tilling or aerating the soil to a depth of 12-inches. In
heavy traffic areas, 3-inches of compost shall be placed over the compacted areas prior to the
tilling. After the restoration, a 3/8" metal bar should be able to be hand pushed into the soil. Areas
within the drip -line of trees should not be tilled.
Rock Outlet Protection:
Rock outlet protection is specified at discharge points of pipes and channels to reduce
depth, velocity, and the energy of water to avoid downstream erosion. The sizing criteria used is
from the NYSSESC Manual.
Water Bars:
Water bars shall be used for diversion of surface runoff to limit the accumulation of erosive
velocities of water. The water bars shall be installed as per the Plans and Details. The water
bars may be installed at locations other than those shown on the Plans as directed by the Town
Engineer, Project Engineer, or other persons inspecting the site under the direction of the
aforementioned.
Other Controls:
Waste Disposal:
Solid, sanitary and toxic waste must be disposed of in a proper manner in accordance with
applicable local, state and federal regulations. It is prohibited to burn, bury or pour out onto ground
or into the storm sewers any solvents, paints, stains, gasoline, diesel fuel, used motor oil,
hydraulic fluid, anti -freeze, cement curing compounds, or other toxic or hazardous wastes. The
Contractor shall be responsible for disposal of all waste off site.
Concrete Truck Washout:
Wash out of cement trucks should occur in a designated diked area where the washings
can be collected and disposed of properly when they harden.
Page 21 of 27
Dust Control:
Generation of dust shall be minimized by limiting the extent of exposed soils and re-
establishing vegetative cover in these areas as soon as possible. Additional and/or temporary
methods to minimize dust may include wetting, mulching, spray adhesives, stone covering and
wind barriers.
Stabilization:
The Contractor shall initiate stabilization measures as soon as practicable in portions of
the site where construction activities have temporarily or permanently ceased, but in no case
more than seven (7) days after the construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily
or permanently ceased. This requirement does not apply in the following instance:
Where the initiation of stabilization measures by the 7" day after construction activity
temporarily or permanently ceased is precluded by snow cover or frozen ground
conditions, stabilization measures shall be initiated as soon as practicable.
All areas not designated as buildings, roads, driveways, parking lots, walks, or aprons
shall be established as lawn or vegetative areas. Permanent planting and vegetation shall be
provided per approved the landscaping plan.
9.0 Construction Sequence
A key objective of the SWPPP is to reduce erosion and sedimentation potentials for the
project. As a means to accomplish this, a suggested construction sequence was developed to
assist the developer with incorporating, into the project, various controls designed to reduce such
potentials. The sequence considers the performance of development activities in a phased
approach, in conjunction with the installation, construction and monitoring of erosion and
sedimentation control devices prior to and during construction.
Appendix D contains the project specific Suggested Construction Sequence. Essentially,
the sequence has been broken down into various activities designed to ensure that certain
erosion/sedimentation controls are in place, prior to and during construction, in recognition of site
development.
Prior to any construction activities, the Owner, Engineer and any Contactors to perform
land -disturbing activities shall meet to review this SWPPP to insure a thorough understanding of
its contents and overall intent. Certifications to this effect shall be signed by the Owner and
Contractor. Certifications are provided on the Construction Plans and in Appendix C.

13.0 Conclusion
The Stormwater Management Plan has been established for this project in accordance
with the requirements of NYS DEC GP-0-20-001 and the Town Code of Yorktown. This plan will
effectively control stormwater generated by this project during and after construction. The
management of the stormwater is based on controlling increases in peak runoff as well as water
quality. The design of the water quality component not only will treat runoff due to the project, but
also that which is currently not treated. Overall it would improve even the existing conditions.
The final design of the project will detail the proposed practices and will establish the
method with which they will be constructed. The detail will include layout, grading, plantings,
outlet structures, and any other component as required for the design based on the Erosion and
Sediment Control established in this Report. These will be part of the project Construction
Drawings. The Sequence of Construction and required maintenance will also be set forth as part
of the final construction plan. The full Construction Plan shall be considered part of the Stormwater
Management Plan or Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
The effectiveness of the stormwater practices selected in design will be insured by
implementing a maintenance plan. The maintenance plan details specific activities, safeguards
Page 26 of 27
and provisions to be monitored and performed by specified frequencies. By adhering to the
maintenance plan, optimum performance of the stormwater practices can be expected.
Based on the results of the analysis and recommended maintenance practices for the
collection and treatment system, the proposed stormwater control designs will provide maximum
control efficiency, high effectiveness for removal of pollutants of concern, and the best attainable
post -development pollutant loading scenario.
In conclusion, the Stormwater Management Plan will not create negative downstream
impacts as a result of this project.

Hydrologic Soil Group —Westchester County, New York
Description
Hydrologic soil groups are 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.
The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and
three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows;
Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively
drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water
transmission.
Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These
consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well
drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture.
These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission.
Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist
chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or
soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of
water transmission.
Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink -swell
potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay
layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious
material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.
If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is
for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in
their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.
