Stormwater Management Regulations and their impact to the proposed project. I laid out some concepts and ideas of how to handle the stormwater and meet the new Regulations. Many of the concepts became part of the final design.
OFFICE MEMO
To: Paul Keane From: Scott Schluter Cc: Date: January 18, 2008 Re: Brickstone Stormwater Management Ideas
Paul, below is a list of thoughts for Stormwater Management for the Brickstone project. As I discussed with you, the new Stormwater Regulations (310 CMR 10.00) are in effect (thought in flux) and LID is a big push. Also, many of our familiar treatment trains will no longer meet TSS removal requirements without dramatic changes to our designs resulting in larger basins. Infiltration requirements will also be harder to meet with the new volumes (HSGA=.6" HSGB=.35" HSGC=.25" HSGD=.10"). As suggested in the new regulations and draft handbooks, the time to think about stormwater is now, in the design phase at the beginning. Below is an outline of ideas that I think we may want to consider for this project. Note: With the vernal pool onsite, we have to deal with new ORWs regulations. "Stormwater Management to a Certified Vernal Pool *Stormwater management systems should avoid impacts to vernal pool *Must be set back 100 feet and comply with 310 CMR 10.60 *Habitat evaluation required *Must demonstrate will meet performance standard of no adverse impact on habitat functions of a certified vernal pool"
Potential BMPs
Pretreatment BMPs
Vegetated Filter Strips o 10% TSS 25' wide, 45% TSS 50' wide o Use where curbless pavement is possible? o Lined where vernal pool Deep Sump Catch Basins o 25% TSS
o Use where curbless pavement isn't possible Proprietary Separators (Downstream Defender, Stormceptor, etc.) o TSS removal per Umass study o Use where "soft" BMPs won't fit due to available space Sediment Forebays o No TSS removal where used as pretreatment where required (infiltration basin, stormwater wetlands, etc.) o 25% TSS removal where used as a separate BMP o Use for our ponds if there is room
Treatment BMPs
Bioretention Areas & Rain Gardens o 90% TSS removal with vegetated filter strip or equivalent o Can be infiltration cells or not o Use for roofs? Infiltrate! o Use for parking areas? Infiltrate if vegetated filter strip can be constructed! (Need the 44% TSS removal first so 50' strip) o OK for vernal pool o Parking Parking
Bioretention Forebay o Constructed Stormwater Wetlands o 80% TSS when forebay used o Will fit in with what Crowe has suggested for the ponds already but will require design modifications to really be constructed wetlands o No recharge o OK for vernal pool Extended Dry Detention Basin o 50% TSS when forebay used o No recharge o BIG to really qualify as extended dry detention basins 24 hour detention of 2 year storm in low stage low flow channel to low stage o No use at vernal pool
Sand & Organic Filters o Tree Box Filter 6' diameter 4' high manhole section Tree in center Rip rap splash pad Underdrain No recharge 80% TSS also can be used as a pretreatment device if lined Are there plans for trees down the entrance road???? Not for vernal pools area
Tree
overflow
Pavement
Underdrain
To drainage Wet basins o 80% TSS when forebay used o No recharge o BIG to really qualify as wet basins o This is probably a better fit to the Crowe design o Not for vernal pool areas
Conveyance BMPs
Grassed Channel (Biofilter Swale) o 50% TSS with sediment forebay o Not suitable for vernal pool o Use in place of pipe system where we can? o No recharge Water Quality Swale o 70% TSS removal with a forebay o No recharge o Use in place of pipe system where we can? o Ok for vernal pool areas need 44% TSS removal or lined
Infiltration BMPs
Drywells
o 80% TSS o Ok for vernal pool areas Infiltration Basins o 80% TSS removal with pretreatment o Needs 44% TSS removal prior to it o We could possibly convert or modify one or more of Crowe's ponds into one o Ok for vernal pool areas Infiltration Trenches o 80% TSS removal with pretreatment o Needs 44% TSS removal prior to it o Use at parking areas? o Ok for vernal pool areas Subsurface Structures (Rainstore, Arches, Pipes, etc.) o 80% TSS for non-proprietary (proprietary #s to come out) o Needs 44% TSS removal prior to it o Ok for vernal pool areas
Other BMPs
Dry Detention Basins o Closer to what we typically design o No TSS removal o No Recharge o Could use this after a TSS treatment train o Not for vernal pool areas Green Roofs o If retains the WQV can remove from impervious surface area o Will the area of the garage qualify as roof? If so, would the landscaped areas qualify it as a green roof? Porous Pavement o 80% TSS removal if bed is " or 1" WQV and drains in 72 hours o Need permeability of 0.5 inches per hour o Use for the "jug handles"? o Porous asphalt or pavers o Not for vernal pool areas Rainbarrels and cisterns o Deduct roof from impervious if sized for " or 1" and stored water is used within 72-hours or is discharged to an infiltration BMP o If we use cisterns for irrigation water we can remove the roof area from our calculations

One of the obstacles in this stormwater design was that we could not control or treat any stormwater flows beyond the proposed bridge due to high groundwater, lack of space, and the grates required in the bridge surface. To overcome this, I used the De Minimus approach to show that our TSS removal in the other areas of the site made up for the lack of TSS removal in this subcatchment.

This sheet shows how detailed the design had to be. We could not cross the stream where it was so we proposed to move it and had to provide mitigation for the resource areas disturbed.

This is a schematic plan we used to work with the DEP on the complex solution for 120,000 GPD of wastewater. This shows a conventional or drip dispersal system could be constructed in the Northeast Corner area, or the roof area could be utilized as a reservoir for water reuse and a reserve area in the proposed golf course.
During the pre-purchase contingency period, the Environmental Services Group assisted EIP to acquire necessary Conservation Commission, Board of Health and Historic District Commission permits and approvals to allow the purchase and the renovation project to move forward. The approved project provides for a renovated dwelling that includes a fire-placed living room and kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and deck areas served by a new well, advanced nitrogen removing septic system and a hybrid wind/solar system to provide for the off-grid power needs. We provided environmental evaluation services to address soils, groundwater, wetland resource area and shellfish and eelgrass issues, construction procedures and protocols. Survey Services provided for all the site survey and Engineering provided for the design and approval of an Innovative/Alternative Nitrogen-reducing septic system to protect groundwater and the waters of Madaket Outer Harbor. Construction commenced in October 2007.
This project involved extreme green design for a condo unit on an island off the island of Nantucket. No public water, sewer, or electricity was available. The lack of utilities combined with resource areas abound, made this project an exciting challenge.
This is the septic system I designed for the project. Rules and Regulations required advanced nitrogen removal. I chose an Advantex system along with Presby Environmental pipes. The pumps are highly efficient to reduce draw on the solar array and wind turbine that provides power to the site.

This is the detail sheet for the septic design. One critical aspect of this project is that every component had to be able to be flown from the main island of Nantucket to this island via helicopter. the Presby system doesn't use gravel, and the Advantex system is all fiberglass. I even chose a fiberglass distribution box. The components were nested into each other where possible and several flgihts had them on site.
