mvers an locaW between:
O CB I to Stormcepter 1

s ca 1 H to stormeeptor 1
b) VIM suggeos that-catch basic to-cateb basin car ection be avoided (032 to CBZA
3 to 'B A). The disadvantage f-or this type of connection is, during the winter
months, ekes snow stile will corer the dowwtmam catch mains. As a mkult,
capacity of the ups Batch basin will be greatly hindomd if tho dovrnsl am catob
Wan is clogged.
5) STANDARD ENGINMMING PRACTICK VHB has reviewed the-sits piaus for
cnnfce tota>tdrd M in";dng practim. The pope is to docuumt the Brag
and potntial construction issues associated with the p j-eet. VHB offers 6e following

dirivowe . VeMcle num[ng movement is very diffict It for %:9imgla unit vehicle (indicative
of a fire au ), especially if the paOdng lot is full. VHB muon==da that the App =t
oordinate watb the Nortb Andover Fire Mpnt in regard to this issue.
d) Them appears w be a discrepancy between the detail for ebamber imtallarion -M
pave nt(Sheer 2) md retaining wall daWl (Sheet 4) regarding the depth for top-cou o
matvdgd. VRE t' omme-nds that a driveway typkal section with patent stu tm
