TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS,
IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING
384 OSGOOD STREET, NORTH ANDOVER, MA
MAY 275 2016
This report details the existing and proposed hydrological and hydraulic conditions
for the Improvements to the Town of North Andover Department of Public Works
Building located at 384 Osgood Street in North Andover, MA. This report has
been prepared in conformance with the requirements of the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP) 2008 Stormwater Handbook
and the 2008 amendments to 310 CMR 10.00 et. seq. (Massachusetts Wetlands
Act Regulations (MAWPA Regs)) and the Town of North Andover Wetlands
Protection Bylaw and Regulations and the Town of North Andover Stormwater
Management & Erosion Control Bylaw and Regulations. The report has been
organized to follow the MADEP Stormwater Checklist.
Site Description:
The project which is the subject of this report is located at 384 Osgood Street on
the northwestern side of Osgood Street and the northeastern side of Wayne
Street in North Andover, MA. The site contains a total of 3.56± acres and is the
location of the existing Department of Public Works facility. The property is shown
on the Town of North Andover Assessor's Map 94 as Lot 2.
Existing Conditions:
The portion of the site which is the subject of the base bid work is the portion of
the site between the existing building and Osgood Street. The area is presently
occupied by a parking area and lawn area. Drainage from the majority of the area
flows overland into Cochichewick Brook. Drainage from the remainder of the area
flows overland into Wayne Street.
The portion of the site which is the subject of the alternate bid work is the portion
of the site to the rear of the existing building. The area is presently occupied by
paved and unpaved storage areas and an existing storage building. Drainage
from the majority of the area flows overland into Cochichewick Brook. Drainage
from the remainder of the area flows overland into Wayne Street and the wetlands
located across Wayne Street from the site.
Proposed Conditions:
The base bid project consists of the redevelopment of the front portion of the site
for the construction of a two story addition to the existing building along with

reconfiguration of parking, utility work on site, in Osgood Street and in Wayne
Street as well as drainage improvements to the front of the existing DPW building
The bid alternate consists of the replacement of the existing salt shed at the rear
of the site along with reconfiguration of pavement areas on site and in Wayne
Street and drainage improvements at the rear of the existing DPW building..
Standard 1: No New Untreated Discharges
The proposed project will include one new drainage outlets and a second new
drainage outlet if the bid alternate is accepted. Runoff to each of the outlets will
be treated by the use of deep sump catch basins and Stormceptor stormwater
treatment units and the peak rates of runoff from the project area will be reduced
compared to the existing conditions due to a reduction in impervious area. A
review of the attached calculations shows that the maximum velocity exiting new
outlet #1 at the front of the site for a 100 year storm is 3.50 feet/second. A riprap
apron will be provided at the outlet pipe to eliminate any possible erosion. A
review of the attached calculations also shows that the maximum velocity exiting
new outlet #2 at the rear of the site for a 100 year storm is 2.81 feet/second. A
riprap apron will also be provided at the outlet pipe to eliminate any possible
erosion.
Since stormwater treatment is being provided for the new outlets and erosion
concerns have been addressed by low discharge velocities and riprap aprons,
Standard 1 has been fully met by the proposed project.
Standard 2: Peak Rate Attenuation
The proposed project involves the redevelopment of an existing developed site.
As such, compliance with Stormwater Standard 2 is required only to the maximum
extent practicable and measures must be been taken to improve existing
conditions.
Attached to this report are the existing and proposed runoff calculations for the
project for the 2, 103 25 and 100 year storms. All of the stormwater modeling
calculations were prepared using SCS Methods consistent with the requirements
of the Wetland Protection Regulations and the MADEP 2008 Stormwater

Handbook. The calculations were prepared using HydroCAD software, Version
10.00 by Applied Microcomputers Systems.
Soils data for the stormwater study was obtained from the National Resource
Conservation Service Soil Map for the Town of North Andover as well as on-site
test pits by a Massachusetts Licensed Soil Evaluator. Our firm analyzed that data
and made our determination of what Hydrologic Soils Groups to use for the
calculations.
Ground cover data is based on the existing and proposed site conditions using on
the ground survey and observations of the site. Times of concentration are based
on the tributary watershed characteristics and SCS Methodology with a minimum
time of concentration of 6 minutes as prescribed by the methodology. Rainfall
data for the study is based on the Town of North Andover Wetlands Regulations.
Stormwater mitigation for the proposed project is provided by reducing the
impervious areas on the site. Due to the reduction in the impervious surfaces
there is no increase in the peak rate of runoff from the project area after the
project is constructed. Detailed printouts of the results of the stormwater
modeling are provided for the 2, 10, 25 and 100 year storms. A summary of the
peak rate of runoff calculations from the project area through the discharge pipe is
as follows:
A summary of the peak rates of runoff from the site to the various analysis points
and points of discharge (see the attached watershed plans) is as follows:

A review of the above summaries INDICATES THE FOLLOWING:
• While there are decreases in the peak runoff from the main portion of front
of site to the brook there is a small (0.003 ac. ft. increase in runoff volume
from this area for the two year storm. There are decreases in the volume
for the 10, 25 & 100 year storms;
• For the runoff from southwest portion of front of site to Wayne Street there
is a small increase in the peak rate of runoff (0.01 cfs) for the two year
storm and small (0.001 ac. ft. increase in runoff volume from this area for
the 2, 10) 25 & 100 year storms. These increases are caused by the
emergency egress walkways from the connecting lobby and the building
addition to Wayne Street.
• There are no changes in the runoff from southern portion of front of site to
Osgood Street at Wayne Street
• There are decreases in the peak runoff rate and runoff volume from the
rear portion of site to the brook. These decreases are due to a reduction in
impervious surface. These decreases are more than sufficient to mitigate
the small increase in runoff volume from the front of the site to the brook for
a 2 year storm.
• There are decreases in the peak runoff rate and runoff volume from the
rear portion of site southwesterly to Wayne Street. These decreases are
due to a reduction in impervious surface.
Based on the results of the calculations we feel that Standard 2 has been met by
the proposed project to the maximum extent practicable.

Standard 3: Recharge
The proposed project involves the redevelopment of an existing developed site.
As such, compliance with Stormwater Standard 3 is required only to the maximum
extent practicable and measures must be been taken to improve existing
conditions. Test pits conducted in the front portion of the site indicate that the
ground is miscellaneous fill which overlays a peat layer. Infiltration into this soil is
not practicable. Test pits conducted on the rear portion of the site indicate that
the soil is also miscellaneous fill with clay and a high Estimated Seasonal High
Ground Water Table rendering infiltration into this soil is not practicable.
For these reasons, as well as the fact that the project is a Redevelopment Project
and the impervious areas on the site are being reduced, recharge of surface water
in not being provided.
Standard 4: Water Quality
The proposed project involves the redevelopment of an existing developed site.
As such, compliance with Stormwater Standard 4 is required only to the maximum
extent practicable and measures must be been taken to improve existing
conditions. Treatment for the runoff from the majority of the impervious surfaces
is provided by new deep sump catch basins with hooded outlets and Stormceptor
STC-900 Treatment Units. Attached to this report is a TSS Removal calculation
sheet showing the TSS removal for the proposed system.
Runoff from a portion of the pavement adjacent to Wayne Street at both the the
front and rear of the site is not included in the treatment due to the elevations of
the wetlands and the pavement which prohibits the installation of a drainage
system to collect and treat the runoff.
The sizing of the Stormceptor Unit for the base bid work is based on the MADEP
Regulation regarding the sizing for all proprietary stormwater treatment units. The
sizing calculations for the Unit are as follows:
Impervious Area = 9238 s.f., time of concentration = 0.10 hours
WQ F = (qu)(A)(WQV)
WQF = (752 csm/in)((9238/43560) acres)(0.0015625 mi2/acre)(0.5 in)
WQF ~ 0.13CFS

Note: The chosen Unit can treat 3.4 c.f.s. The STC-900 was chosen over the
STC-450i as the STC-900 unit can retain 193% as much sediment and 291% as
much hydrocarbons as the STC-450i. Attached hereto is data to support the use
of the STC-900 unit. Stormceptor is MASTEP accepted with a rating of 2.
The sizing of the Stormceptor Unit for the bid alternate work is based on the
MADEP Regulation regarding the sizing for all proprietary stormwater treatment
units. The sizing calculations for the Unit are as follows:
Impervious Area =17499 s.f., time of concentration = 0.10 hours
WQF = (qu)(A)(WQV)
WQF = (752 csm/in)((8900/43560) acres)(0.0015625 mi2/acre)(0.5 in)
WQF ~ 0.23 CFS
Note: The chosen Unit can treat 3.4 c.f.s. The STC-900 was chosen over the
STC-450i as the STC-900 unit can retain 193% as much sediment and 291% as
much hydrocarbons as the STC-450i. Attached hereto is data to support the use
of the STC-900 unit. Stormceptor is MASTEP accepted with a rating of 2.
The runoff quality from the proposed development represents a significant
improvement compared to existing conditions (which has no stormwater
treatment) and for the majority of the altered site will meet the 80% TSS Removal
Standard of the MADEP 2008 Stormwater Handbook. Therefore, Standard 4 has
been met by the proposed project to the extent practicable.
Standard 5: Land Uses with Higher Potential Pollutant Loads (LUHPPLs)
The portion of the site where the base bid work will be conducted does not contain
any activities that are classified as Land Uses with Higher Potential Pollutant
Loads as defined by the 2008 MADEP Stormwater Handbook and the 2008
amendments to 310 CMR 10.00 et. seq. (MAWPA Regs),
The portion of the site where the bid alternate work will be conducted contains
activities that are classified as Land Uses with Higher Potential Pollutant Loads as
defined by the 2008 MADEP Stormwater Handbook and the 2008 amendments to
310 CMR 10.00 et. seq. (MAWPA Regs), The proposed project will provide
improvements for the storage of materials and collection and treatment of runoff.
Therefore Standard 5 has been met by the proposed project to the extent
practicable.

Standard 6: Critical Areas
The proposed project does not discharge stormwater runoff to a critical area as
defined by the 2008 MADEP Stormwater Handbook and the 2008 amendments to
310 CMR 10.00 et. seq. (MAWPA Regs). Therefore Standard 6 has been fully
met by the proposed project.
Standard 7: Redevelopments and Other Projects Subject to the Standards
only to the maximum extent practicable
The proposed project involves the redevelopment of an existing developed site.
As such, compliance with Stormwater Standards 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 is required only
to the maximum extent practicable and measures must be been taken to improve
existing conditions. Throughout this report we have listed the areas of compliance
with the standards in the 2008 MADEP Stormwater Handbook. The proposed
project has been carefully thought through and designed to meet the requirements
of stormwater standards 2, 31 41 5 & 6 to the maximum extent practicable.
Standard 8: Construction Period Pollution Prevention and Erosion and
Sedimentation Control
Erosion Control and Construction Sequencing
With regard to work proposed on the project and erosion and siltation control, the
sequence of activities will generally take place as follows:
1. Prior to general pavement removal, or topsoil stripping, place all erosion
controls (siltation control fencing & filtrexx soxx and silt sacks) in the locations
shown on the drawings.
2. Damaged or loose siltation control fence and filtrexx soxx shall be replaced as
necessary to maintain their function of controlling erosion and siltation. Silt
sacks in catch basins shall be replaced as necessary to maintain its function of
controlling erosion and siltation.
3. Remove any accumulation of silt or soil build-up behind the filtrexx soxx, straw
bales and straw wattles as it occurs.

4. Throughout excavation, and grading operations the Contractor shall take other
necessary precautions, including installation of temporary drainage w wales,
siltation sumps/filtration dams, check dams, straw bales, straw wattles, silt
fences, and temporary pipe, to direct and control drainage from disturbed
areas on the site so that erosion and siltation is minimal. In addition, no
erosion or discharge of silt or larger particles shall occur in wetland areas or
onto adjacent properties.
5. Remove all erosion control measures, including the filtrexx soxx, straw bales
or straw wattles only when construction is completed, upland surfaces are
stabilized and the piped drainage system is fully operational and the removal
of the devices has been approved by the Architect/Civil Engineer and the
Town of North Andover Conservation Commission.
If the Contractor anticipates deviations from the above procedures, he shall obtain
written approval from the Architect/Civil Engineer prior to proceeding.
Erosion and Sediment Control BMP's
The Erosion and Sediment Controls represent the suggested best management
practices proposed for the project. The Contractor's approach to controlling
stormwater runoff from the site may vary however he must implement appropriate
corresponding erosion control measures.
The use of erosion and sediment controls are mandatory and must be employed
to minimize impacts to adjacent areas during construction. If sediment escapes
the construction site, off-site accumulations of sediment must be removed at a
frequency sufficient to minimize off-site impacts.
The control practices which are required to minimize stormwater pollution during
construction must remain functional until disturbed areas have been stabilized.
Erosion control products are to be installed and maintained in accordance with
manufacturer's specifications and good engineering practices.
The most important aspects of controlling erosion and sedimentation are limiting
the extent of drainage structures. These fundamental principles will be the key
factors in the contractor's control of erosion on the project site. If appropriate, the

STORMWATER REPORT
TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS,
IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING
384 OSGOOD STREET, NORTH ANDOVER, MA
MAY 275 2016
contractor will construct temporary diversion swales and settling basins or use a
settling tank. If additional drainage or erosion control measures are needed, they
will be located up-gradient from the straw bales and silt fences.
The contractor is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all erosion control
devices on-site. All erosion control devices will be regularly inspected. At no time
will silt-laden water be allowed to enter sensitive areas (wetlands, streams, and
drainage systems). Any runoff from disturbed surfaces will be directed through a
sedimentation process prior to being discharged to the existing on site drainage
system.
The contractor will establish a staging area for the overnight storage of equipment
and stockpiling of materials. In the staging area, the contractor will have a
stockpile of materials required to control erosion on-site to be used to supplement
or repair erosion control devices. These materials will include, but are not limited
to filtrexx soxx (filled with compost and ready for use), straw bales, siltation control
fence, stakes, erosion control matting, and crushed stone. As mentioned
previously, erosion and sedimentation controls will be employed to minimize the
erosion and transport of sediment into resource areas during the earthwork and
construction phases of the Project. Erosion and sedimentation control measures
will be installed prior to site excavation or disturbance and will be maintained
throughout the construction period.
The contractor is responsible for erosion control on the site and will utilize
supplemental erosion control measures to supplement the erosion controls shown
on the plans prepared for this project to work with his day to day operations at the
site.
Primary erosion control techniques proposed include compost filled filtrexx soxx,
siltation control fence with straw bale barriers and silt sacks, inlet sediment traps,
siltation control dikes, a stabilized construction entrance, temporary diversion
channels, and temporary sedimentation ponds when applicable. A detailed
description of each technique is discussed below. During the growing season,
slope stabilization will be achieved by applying topsoil followed by seeding and
mulching as soon as final grades are achieved. Organic mulching, jute netting,
geo-textiles, or a combination will be used to stabilize slopes completed outside of
the growing season.

Best Management Practices (BMPs)
Filtrexx Soxx and Silt Fence/Straw bales
Erosion control barriers (filtrexx soxx, silt fences with straw bales) will be installed
in the locations shown on the drawings or as directed in the field by the
Architect/Civil Engineer prior to the start of construction. These barriers will
remain in place until all tributary surfaces have been fully stabilized.
The barriers will be placed to trap sediment transported by runoff before it reaches
the drainage system or leaves the construction site. In areas where high runoff
velocities or high sediment loads are expected, silt fencing may be installed
adjacent to the straw bale barriers. This semi-permeable barrier made of a
synthetic porous fabric will provide additional protection. The filtrexx soxx and
siltation fences with straw bale barrier will be replaced as determined by periodic
field inspection. The underside of the soxx and straw bales will be kept in close
contact with the earth and reset as necessary. Straw bale barriers, straw wattles
and siltation fences will be maintained and cleaned until slopes have healthy
stands of grass and all proposed paved areas have been paved with the binder
course of pavement.
Drain System Protection
Silt Sack sediment traps supplemented with straw bale erosion checks will be
installed at drainage structures and maintained and cleaned until slopes have
healthy stands of grass. Catch basins, drain inlets, stormwater treatment units,
storm drain pipes and detention basins will be cleaned of sediment and debris
after the completion of construction. Sediment collected in structures will be
disposed of properly and covered, if stored on-site.
• Until tributary areas are stabilized, catch basin inlets will be fitted with Silt
Sacks. If intense rainfall is predicted before all tributary areas are stabilized,
erosion control measures will be reinforced for the duration of the storm.
Downstream areas will be inspected and any sediment removed at the end of the
storm.
• Unfiltered water will not be allowed to enter pipes from unstabilized
surfaces.

• Trench excavation will be limited to the minimum length required for daily
pipe installation. All trenches will be backfilled as soon as possible. The ends of
pipes will be closed nightly with plywood
• During construction of the site, silt-laden waters should be intercepted prior
to reaching catch basins. Any gross depositions of materials on paved surfaces
will be removed by sweeping.
• All paved areas will be swept on a weekly basis, as permitted by weather,
during the construction period.
• Catch basins should be inspected monthly and cleaned in anticipation of
the winter season in November and at the same time the roads are swept in the
spring.
Utility Construction
The Contractor will construct utility trenches in a manner that will not direct runoff
toward wetlands or to drainage system structures.
Stabilization Activities
All disturbed surfaces will be stabilized within 14 days after construction in any
portion of the project site is completed or is temporarily halted, unless additional
construction is intended to be initiated within 14 days. The Contractor will not
disturb more area than can be stabilized within 14 days unless the area is to
remain active. The Contractor will not disturb more area than can be stabilized
within the same construction season.
Slope Stabilization
The smallest practicable area of land will be exposed at a time. Slopes greater
than three-to-one (horizontal to vertical) will be stabilized with seed, organic
mulch, jute fabric, or rip-rap, as appropriate, to prevent erosion during
construction. After disturbed areas have been stabilized, the temporary erosion
control measures will be removed and accumulated sediment will be removed and

MAY 275 2016
disposed of in an appropriate location. Disturbed areas will be stabilized with
appropriate ground cover as soon as possible. After the removal of temporary
erosion control measures, disturbed areas will receive a layer of topsoil for
stabilization.
Stabilized Construction Entrance
Temporary stabilized construction entrance or entrances will be installed at the
project site. The purpose of the construction entrance is to remove sediment
attached to vehicle tires and to minimize sediment transport and deposition onto
public road surfaces. The construction entrance or entrances will be composed of
crushed stone which will be replenished as necessary to maintain their proper
function.
Inspections
Although not applicable to the base bid project (since the disturbed area is less
than 1 acre if the bid alternate is not accepted), the Contractor shall perform the
following inspections for both the base bid and bid alternate work (if accepted) in
accordance with the 2012 EPA Construction General Permit Conditions which
require routine inspections of the site and careful documentation of events and
conditions. The following inspection activities will be completed by a qualified,
designated site monitor.
• Erosion control, sedimentation prevention, and stormwater management
measures will be inspected at least once per week throughout the
construction period.
• All controls, outfalls, and potential problem areas will also be inspected
within 24 hours of any storm exceeding 0.25 inches of precipitation.
A log of inspection results will be maintained on-site and will include the name of
the inspector, date, major observations, and necessary corrective measures.
Built up sediment will be removed when it has reached one-third the height of the
silt fence or filtrexx soxx.

All needed repairs or modifications will be reported to the contractors to permit the
timely implementation of required actions. Where necessary repairs do not pose
an immediate concern, repairs or modifications will be implemented within two (2)
days of inspection.
A report summarizing the scope of the inspection, name(s) and qualifications of
personnel making the inspection, the date(s) of the inspection, major observations
relating to the implementation of this CPPPP, and actions taken will be made and
retained as part of the CPPPP.
Maintenance
The following maintenance practices will be used by the Contractor to maintain
erosion and sediment controls. Maintenance activities will be documented on his
Inspection Report.
Erosion and sediment control measures and other protective measures must be
maintained in effective operating condition.
• If site inspections indicate that the BMPs are not operating effectively,
maintenance must be performed as soon as possible and before the next storm
event whenever practicable to maintain the continued effectiveness of the BMPs.
• If existing BMPs need to be modified or if additional BMPs are necessary
for any reason, implementation must be completed before next storm event
whenever practicable.
• Pollution prevention measures must be maintained in good working order.
If a repair is necessary, it will be initiated, if practicable, within 24 hours of report.
• Accumulated sediment within the catch basin inlet protection must be
removed on a weekly basis.
• Maintenance and inspection of pollution prevention measures must be
continued on the site for as long as a portion of the site remains disturbed.
• Stabilization measures will be initiated as soon as practicable on portions
of the site where construction has temporarily or permanently ceased. This will
occur in NO CASE more than 14 days after construction activities have
temporarily or permanently ceased.
• If issues are identified at hazardous materials storage areas, corrective
actions will be implemented immediately. If leaks or spills are identified
procedures outlined in Standard 9 will be followed.

Material Handling and Waste Management
Hazardous Products:
These practices will be used to reduce the risks associated with hazardous
materials. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) for each substance with
hazardous properties that is used on the job site will be obtained and used for the
proper management of potential wastes that may result from these products. An
MSDS will be posted in the immediate area where such product is stored and/or
used and another copy of each MSDS will be maintained in the SWPPP file at the
job site construction trailer office. Each employee who must handle a substance
with hazardous properties will be instructed on the use of MSDS sheets and the
specific information in the applicable MSDS for the product they are using,
particularly regarding spill control techniques.
• Products will be kept in original containers unless they are not re-sealable
• Original labels and material safety data will be retained; they contain
important product information
• If surplus product must be disposed of, manufacture's or local and State
recommended methods for proper disposal will be followed
Hazardous Waste
All hazardous waste material will be disposed of by the Contractor in the manner
specified by local, state, and/or federal regulations and by the manufacturer of
such products. Site personnel will be instructed in these practices by the job site
superintendent, who will also be responsible for seeing that these practices are
followed.

Solid and Construction Wastes
All waste materials will be collected and stored in accordance with state and
federal law in an appropriately covered container and/or securely lidded metal
dumpster.
All trash and construction debris from the site will be deposited in the dumpster.
No construction waste materials will be buried on site. All personnel will be
instructed regarding the correct procedures for waste disposal.
All waste dumpsters and roll-off containers will be located in an area where the
likelihood of the containers contributing to storm water discharges is negligible. If
required, additional BMPs must be implemented, such as sandbags around the
base, to prevent wastes from contributing to storm water discharges.
Sanitary Wastes
All sanitary waste will be collected from the portable units a minimum of three
times per week by a licensed portable facility provider in complete compliance
with local and state regulations.
All sanitary waste units will be located in an area where the likelihood of the unit
contributing to storm water discharges is negligible. If required, additional BMP's
must be implemented, such as sandbags around the base, to prevent wastes from
contributing to storm water discharges.
Washout Areas
The Contractor will provide wheel wash stations and concrete washout areas at
the site as described below.
Wheel Wash Stations
The Contractor will provide wheel wash stations adjacent to the construction
entrance which lead directly to a public way or portions of the site outside the
limits of work

Trucks will be allowed to washout or discharge surplus concrete or drum wash
water on the site, but only in specifically designated diked and impervious
washout areas which have been prepared to prevent contact between the
concrete wash and stormwater. Waste generated from concrete wash water shall
not be allowed to flow into drainage ways, inlets, receiving waters or highway right
of ways, or any location other than the designated concrete washout. Waste
concrete may be poured into forms to make riprap or other useful concrete
products. Proper signage designating the "concrete washout" shall be placed near
the facility.
The hardened residue from the concrete washout diked areas will be disposed of
in the same manner as other non-hazardous construction waste materials or may
be broken up and used on site as deemed appropriate by the Contractor.
Maintenance of the washout is to include removal of hardened concrete. Facility
shall have sufficient volume to contain all the concrete waste resulting from
washout and a minimum freeboard of 1 foot. Facility shall not be filled beyond
95% capacity and shall be cleaned out once 75% full unless a new facility is
constructed.
Vehicle and Equipment Fueling
There is a previously established vehicle fueling area at the rear of the site. The
fueling area will be inspected and cleaned weekly.
Spill Prevention and Control Plan
The Contractor will train all personnel in the proper handling and cleanup of
spilled materials. No spilled hazardous materials or hazardous wastes will be
allowed to come in contact with storm water discharges. If such contact occurs,
the storm water discharge will be contained on site until appropriate measures in
compliance with state and federal regulations are taken to dispose of such
contaminated storm water. It shall be the responsibility of the job site
superintendent to properly train all personnel in spill prevention and clean up
procedures.
In order to minimize the potential for a spill of hazardous materials to come into
contact with storm water, the following steps will be implemented:

1. All materials with hazardous properties (such as pesticides, petroleum
products, fertilizers, detergents, construction chemicals, acids, paints, paint
solvents, cleaning solvents, additives for soil stabilization, concrete curing
compounds and additives, etc.) will be stored in a secure location, with
their lids on, preferably under cover, when not in use.
2. During construction, liquid petroleum products and other hazardous
materials with the potential to contaminate groundwater may not be stored
or handled in areas of the site draining to an infiltration area, An "infiltration
area" is any area of the site that by design or as a result of soils,
topography and other relevant factors accumulates runoff that infiltrates
into the soil. Dikes, berms, sumps, and other forms of secondary
containment that prevent discharge to groundwater may be used to isolate
portions of the site for the purposes of storage and handling of these
materials
3. The minimum practical quantity of all such materials will be kept on the job
site at all times.
4. A spill control and containment kit (containing, for example, absorbent
materials, acid neutralizing powder, brooms, dust pans, mops, rags,
gloves, goggles, plastic and metal trash containers, etc.) will be provided at
the storage site. Catch basin inlet cover blankets and inflatable pipe plugs
will be used to seal the openings in the outlet pipes and isolate product in
the drainage system should a spill occur.
5. Manufacturer's recommended methods for spill cleanup will be clearly
posted and site personnel will be trained regarding these procedures and
the location of the information and cleanup supplies.
In the event of a spill, the following procedures should be followed:
1. All spills will be cleaned up immediately after discovery.
2. The spill area will be kept well ventilated and personnel will wear
appropriate protective clothing to prevent injury from contact with the
hazardous substances.

3. The project manager and the Engineer of Record will be notified
immediately.
4. Spills of toxic or hazardous materials will be reported to the appropriate
federal, state, and/or local government agency, regardless of the size of
the spill.
5. If the spill exceeds a Reportable Quantity, MADEP must be notified and
provided with a description of the release, the circumstances leading to the
release, and the date of the release and all abatement and followup
measures implemented.
The job site superintendent will be the spill prevention and response coordinator.
He will designate the individuals who will receive spill prevention and response
training. These individuals will each become responsible for a particular phase of
prevention and response. The names of these personnel will be posted in the
material storage area and in the office trailer onsite.
Allowable Non-Stormwater Discharge Management
Certain types of will be allowed under the conditions that no pollutants will be
allowed to come into contact with the water prior to or after its discharge. The
control measures that have been outlined previously in this O & M Plan will be
strictly followed to ensure that no contamination of these non-stormwater
discharges takes place. The following non-stormwater discharges that may occur
from the job site include:
• Discharges from fire-fighting activities
• Fire Hydrant flushings
• Waters used to wash vehicles where detergents are not used
• Water used to control dust in accordance with off-site vehicle tracking
• Potable water including uncontaminated water line flushings
• Routine external building wash down that does not use detergents
• Pavement wash waters where spills or leaks of toxic or hazardous
materials have not occurred (unless all spilled material has been removed)
and where detergents are not used

• Uncontaminated air conditioner compressor condensate
• Uncontaminated ground water or spring water
• Foundation or footing drains where flows are not contaminated with
process materials such as solvents
• Uncontaminated excavation dewatering
• Landscape irrigation
POST CONSTRUCTION PERIOD
Post-Construction BMP's
Several types of structural and non-structural water quality controls in various
combinations are proposed to treat stormwater generated on the site. These
measures include deep sump catch basins with hoods and stormwater treatment
units. These Water quality treatment measures will result in the removal of a
minimum of 80 percent of the total suspended solids JSS) load in runoff prior to
discharge from the site, consistent with DEP's TSS removal standard.
The following best management practices are specified in the proposed
development program to mitigate the increase in stormwater runoff from the site.
B M Ps Used
➢ Drainage Inlet with Deep Sump
➢ Stormceptor Proprietary Treatment Unit
Post-Development Activities
1. Paved Areas: Paved Areas shall be mechanically swept during the dry
weather to remove excess sediments, thereby reducing the amount of
sediments that the drainage system will have to remove from the runoff.
Paved areas shall be mechanically swept a minimum of once each year (in
the spring).
2. The use of salt or chemicals for de-icing on the paved areas during the
winter months shall be limited to the amount necessary to maintain
pedestrian and vehicle safety.

3. Catch Basins with Deep Sump and Hood: The catch basins shall be
inspected at least four times/year and at the end of the snowfall and foliage
seasons to verify that the inlet openings are not clogged by debris. Debris
shall be removed from the grates and disposed of properly. The catch
basin sumps shall also be inspected and cleaned a minimum of four times
per year and whenever the depth of the sediment is 25% or more of the
sump depth or a minimum of twice annually. Material shall be removed
from the drain inlet and disposed of in accordance with all applicable
regulations.
4. The Stormceptor Stormwater Treatment Unit shall be cleaned and
inspected a minimum of four times per year for the first year and twice per
year thereafter if the silt trap is not full the in six months. Cleaning shall be
in strict conformance with the manufacturer's recommendations which are
attached to this report.
All maintenance responsibilities as identified on the site plans and within this
document will be owned and maintained by the owner of the property and shall
run with the title of the property.
Annual Operating Budget
The estimated annual operating budget for the O & M Plan for the base bid project
is $ 750. The estimated annual operating budget for the O & M Plan for the bid
alternate project is $ 1,250.
Plan of BMP's
Reference is made to the project plans for the location of all BMP's.
Conclusion
The construction of the proposed site development as proposed will provide runoff
control for the completed development as required by the MADEP Stormwater

As provided for in the 2008 MADEP Stormwater Handbook and the 2008
amendments to 310 CMR 10.00 et. seq. (MAWPA Regs) an Illicit Discharge
Compliance Statement is not attached to this Stormwater Report. However, the
project has been designed to avoid illicit discharges.
As provided for in the MADEP Stormwater Regulations, an Illicit Discharge
Compliance Statement will be completed prior to the discharge of any stormwater
to the post-construction BMP's. Therefore, Standard 10 has been fully met by the
proposed project.
