The plan was originally designed to use the natural cleansing effect of overland flow of the runoff through the wooded buffer zone of the wetlands. In addition to this, this office has redesigned the plan so that all runoff water enters a series of leaching chambers before being sent through the wooded buffer zone. This system of leaching chambers is relatively new in Massachusetts,but has been used in many other areas of the country with great success. Infiltrator systems of Old Saybrook CT.-manufactures a low profile plastic leach chamber that does not require the use of any stone. These low profile infiltrators will allow the runoff water to filter into the subsoil layer of the soil stratum. This layer, as described in the enclosed S.C.S. soil description for the area, is very permeable and has a very high filtration effect upon water introduced into the layer. The design changes that have been made use the following criteria. 1.All of the driveway runoff will first enter a catch basin with a sump to settle out heavy solids such as sand and stone. Oil separators have not been included in the design since it is the opinion of this office that they will not be maintained. 2. All driveway runoff will enter a subsurface absorption system to dissipate the stormwater discharge into the ground. 3. All gutters discharge into the subsurface absorption system to dissipate the flow from the roof into the ground. 4. All subsurface absorption chambers are designed to store a V rainfall event with no reliance on absorption to constitute part of the storage. With the additions to the plan, it is the opinion of this office that the watershed of lake Cochichewick will be protected to an even greater degree than the original proposal which used only over surface filtration of the stormwater. 33 WALKER RD. - SUITE 22 - NORTH ANDOVER, MA 01845 - (508) 686-1768 PAGE 2 To demonstrate the consistency of the soil on the site with the description listed in the Soil Conservation Service books,three soil logs have been included as an attachment to this letter.
