I. Introduction
The following report presents an analysis of the stormwater management system

for the proposed Phase 1 redevelopment the Three County Fairgrounds, located
off Route 9 in Northampton, Massachusetts which is located in the SC zoning
district.
Locus Map (site outlined in red)
The proposed project involves the redevelopment of a portion of the site. The 15
existing horse barns and other small buildings will be demolished and 3 new barns
are proposed to be constructed, along with associated roads/walking paths,
landscaping, and stormwater management.
The drainage areas analyzed total 56.80 acres of which approximately 16.30 acres
will be disturbed by construction activities. The impervious area on site will
increase by approximately 1.16 acres due to the new construction. The proposed
stormwater management system will work in conjunction with the existing
system. Mechanisms to reduce runoff and treat water quality include existing
deep sump catch basins, new drains with sumps, subsurface detention systems, an

infiltration trench designed specifically for the phase 1 portion of the project,
stormwater treatment chamber, and 2 existing detention ponds.
Site Terrain and Soils
The project site is comprised of a relatively flat terrain with the exception of the
steep slope adjacent to Route 9. The site surface generally consists of grassed,
gravelly, exposed dirt, and paved areas.
The USDA Soil Survey of Hampshire County, Massachusetts, Central Part report
classifies the site soils as (see Figure 3 for Soil Map):
• (8A) Limerick Silt Loam
Hydrologic Group: C
Depth to Water Table: 0.0’-1.5’
• (96A) Hadley Silt Loam
Hydrologic Group: B
• (98A) Winooski Silt Loam
Hydrologic Group: B
A series of test pits were conducted on site to determine subsurface conditions.

The purpose of the test pits was to evaluate the site for the existence of ledge, the
ability of the site to support stormwater drainage components, and for
groundwater information. In general, the test pits confirmed the USDA Soil
Survey findings for the site as ground water is generally high throughout the site,
and the soils consisted mostly of a silty loam. The test pit logs are attached in
Appendix B.
III. Existing Conditions

The existing site contains 6 drainage areas (E-1 through E-6) and 3 different
control points used for determining peak runoff rates, and the site has an average
curve number of 74. The drainage areas and control points are shown on the Pre-
Development Drainage Area Plan (see Figure 1). The following is a brief
description of each drainage area:

E-1
E-1 is approximately 24.06 acres and contains a large area of the existing track,
horse barns, other miscellaneous buildings, grassed areas, paved areas, and gravel
areas. The area drains to existing catch basins which direct the stormwater to the
existing detention basin at the east end of the site (shown as E-Pond1 on Figure
1). The easterly detention pond has 2 outlets: The first outlet is a 12” CMP
located on the north edge of Fair Street which discharges water across the street to
the property line located at the southeastern area of the site (shown as E-CP1 on
Figure 1). The second outlet is a catch basin located just south of Horse Barn H &
C. When the level of water in the pond exceeds elevation 117’, it overflows out
of the catch basin and spills over Cross Path Road into the adjacent property
(shown as E-CP3 on Figure 1) causing standing water in the spring and summer
and frozen ponding in the winter. Occasionally when a large fairgrounds event is
planned, the detention pond is pumped at 200gpm (0.45cfs) to an existing catch
basin on the west side of the site (shown as E-Pond2 on Figure 1) in order to drain
the adjacent area. It is pertinent to pump the drainage system due to the fact that
the only piped outlet is at elevation 116’ on Cross Path Road. For the sake of
consistency within pre and post calculations, the pump system is assumed to run
full time for the duration of the storm events. This allows a similar comparison
between existing conditions and the proposed site design. The pump is modeled
as a pond with a base flow out of 0.45cfs which discharges to the Williams Street
Brook system (shown as E-CP2 on Figure 1) which is undersized in most storms.
E-2
E-2 is approximately 10.75 acres and contains a portion of the existing track,
buildings, grassed areas, paved areas, and gravel areas. This area sheet flows into
existing catch basins which discharge into the westerly retention basin (E-Pond2).
The detention pond discharges into the Williams Street Brook drainage system
through a 12” pipe (E-CP1).
E-3
E-3 is approximately 10.38 acres and contains adjacent houses, buildings, grassed
areas, paved areas, and gravel areas. This area sheet flows into existing catch
basins which discharge directly into the Williams Street Brook drainage system
(E-CP1).
E-4
E-4 is approximately 7.52 acres and is located south of the main area and contains
a portion of Fair Street, existing buildings, grassed areas, and gravel areas. This
area sheet flows overland to the southern property line (E-CP2).
E-5

E-5 is approximately 3.41 acres and is located north of the main area and contains
a portion of Ferry Road, a basketball court, and grassed areas. This area sheet
flows over Ferry Road where it begins to pond until it enters the existing westerly
detention basin which drains to the Williams Street Brook system (E-CP1).
E-6
E-6 is approximately 0.68 acres and is located north of the main area and contains
a portion of Ferry Road, abutting houses, and grassed areas. This area sheet flows
toward existing catch basins where it is directed to the easterly detention basin
which drains to the south eastern area of the site (E-CP2).
IV. Proposed Conditions
The proposed project does not alter the site significantly and it retains the general
flow patterns of the existing stormwater system. The proposed site contains 6
drainage areas (P-1 through P-6) and 3 different control points used for
determining peak runoff rates. The drainage areas and control points are shown
on the Post-Development Drainage Area Plan (see Figure 2). The following is a
brief description of each drainage area:
P-1
P-1 is approximately 27.48 acres and contains the 3 new horse barns, a new
restroom, new paved road/walk areas, a large area of the existing track, other
miscellaneous buildings, grassed areas, paved areas, a portion of the Morgan
horse rings, and gravel areas. This area of the site will contain 2 large subsurface
stone detention systems which will be hydraulically connected to the easterly
detention basin. Areas that drain directly to the subsurface system are directed to
low spots which allow for the runoff to infiltrate through the specified soil media
prior to entering the system. The area adjacent to the 3 new horse barns will drain
to a new system installed under 2 new concrete pads between the barns. Each pad
contains drain inlets with 2’ sumps. Before horse manure is permitted to be
stockpiled on the pads, the drains inlets are replaced with covers to prohibit
potential contamination of the drainage system and the horse barn roof areas are
piped directly into the drain system to allow for separation of roof runoff which
will increase the water quality entering the detention basin. The outlet from the
new subsurface system will be outfitted with a stormwater treatment chamber
designed to remove a minimum of 80% TSS for the increase in impervious area
on site.
The rest of the area within P-1 drains to existing catch basins or sheet flows to the
existing detention basins on the east side of the site (shown as P-Pond1 on Figure
2). The detention pond has 3 outlets. The first outlet is a 12” CMP located on the
north edge of Fair Street which discharges water across the street to the property
(P-CP2); unlike in existing conditions, the existing low catch basin adjacent to
Cross Path Road is proposed to be removed in this phase and a berm at elevation

117.2’ (second outlet) will be constructed to ensure the water flowing to the east
is less than it was in existing conditions (P-CP3). Occasionally when a large
fairgrounds event is planned, the retention pond is pumped (the site will continue
to utilized the existing pump at 200gpm) to an existing catch basin (P-CP1) on the
west side of the site (shown as P-Pond2 on Figure 2). In order to provide a
consistent timing of pump use for existing and proposed conditions, the pump was
modeled as a base flow of 0.45cfs (200gpm) directed to the Williams Street Brook
drainage infrastructure and was assumed to be running at all times. With the
construction of the new drainage infrastructure, an Operation and Maintenance
plan is proposed that will require the pump system to run after storms to ensure
the drainage system will be drained within 72 hours. It is pertinent to pump the
drainage system due to the fact that the only outlet remains at Cross Path Road.
An infiltration trench has been designed to catch and retain the runoff from a large
part of the main road that is proposed in the middle of the site. The system
consists of a long and shallow stone filled bed which will catch the runoff from a
large amount of the new pavement, and allow the runoff to recharge into the
ground. The system has been designed to be very shallow and has low spot at the
center of the trench which will promote the runoff to infiltrate as well as serve as a
monitoring system for determining the trench’s performance.
P-2
P-2 is approximately 9.27 acres and contains a portion of the existing track,
buildings, grassed areas, paved areas, and gravel areas. This area sheet flows into
existing catch basins which discharge into the westerly retention basin (P-Pond2).
The detention pond discharges into the Williams Street Brook drainage system
through a 12” pipe (P-CP1).
P-3
P-3 is approximately 8.46 acres and contains adjacent houses, buildings, grassed
areas, paved areas, new horse rings, and gravel areas. This area sheet flows into
existing catch basins which discharge directly into the Williams Street Brook
drainage system (P-CP1).
P-4
P-4 is approximately 7.52 acres and is located south of the main area and contains
a portion of Fair Street, existing buildings, grassed areas, and gravel areas. This
area sheet flows overland to the southern property line (P-CP2).
P-5
P-5 is approximately 3.41 acres and is located north of the main area and contains
a portion of Ferry Road, a basketball court, and grassed areas. This area sheet
flows over Ferry Road where it begins to pond until it enters the existing westerly
detention basin which drains to the Williams Street Brook system (P-CP1).

P-6
P-6 is approximately 0.68 acres and is located north of the main area and contains
a portion of Ferry Road, abutting houses, and grassed areas. This area sheet flows
toward existing catch basins where it is directed to the easterly detention basin
which drains to the south eastern area of the site (P-CP2).
V. Calculations and Design
Drainage calculations were performed on Hydrocad Stormwater Modeling System

version 8.0 using Soil Conservation Service (SCS) TR-20 methodology. The SCS
method is based on rainfall observations, which were used to develop the
Intensity-Duration-Frequency relationship, or IDF curve. The mass curve is a
dimensionless distribution of rainfall over time, which indicates the fraction of the
rainfall event that occurs at a given time within a 24-hour precipitation event. This
synthetic distribution develops peak rates for storms of varying duration and
intensities. The SCS distribution provides a cumulative rainfall at any point in
time and allows volume dependent routing runoff calculations to occur. These
calculations are included in the appendices.
The watershed boundaries for calculation purposes are divided according to the
proposed site grading and the natural limits of the drainage areas. The curve
numbers (CNs) and times of concentration for the existing and proposed
subcatchment areas are based on the soil type and the existing and proposed cover
conditions at the site. The soil hydrologic group assumed for the site is noted in
Figure 3. Watershed subcatchment areas, runoff coefficients and watercourse
slopes are based on survey information.
Calculations were performed for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year frequency storms under
existing and proposed conditions. The results of the calculations are presented in
Table 1 below. Appendix A presents the Hydrocad calculations.

Note that the volumes are less for proposed conditions during the first 24 hours
after the storm began. This is due to the large increase in storage area within the
proposed detention system. However when the pump system drains the proposed
basin, the volume directed to the Williams Street Brook control point (CP3) will
be greater in proposed conditions.
VI. MADEP Stormwater Standards Compliance
The following section details how the project follows the MADEP Stormwater
Management Policy’s ten stormwater management standards.
Standard 1 - Untreated Stormwater

No new outlets are proposed on the site and the site has added treatment capacity
to the existing site through the use of infiltration trenches, deep sump basins, a
large subsurface detention system with filtration inlet areas, and a stormwater
treatment chamber. The existing stormwater system has been modified to treat the
stormwater prior to discharging it off site.

Standard 2 - Post-Development Peak Discharge Rates

The stormwater system is designed so that post-development peak discharge rates
are equal or less than pre-development peak discharge rates leaving the site.
Although the proposed site will have an increase of impervious area, the new
subsurface detention systems will provide significant storage and reduce the peak
flows from existing conditions. During the 24 hour storm the volume of water
discharged to the control points will be less than existing conditions due to the
large storage area proposed. However because the system requires pumping to
drain, the proposed basin is not fully drained after the 24 hour period shown in the
peak flow/volume calculations. The remaining volume left after the storm will be
drained by the pump for the next several hours (which happens in existing
conditions as well). However, the peak flows will be equal to or reduced from
existing conditions in the 2, 10, and 100 year storms which will improve the
functionality of the site. Refer to Table 1 Peak Flow and Volume Summary and
Appendix A for HydroCAD calculations.
Standard 3 - Recharge to Groundwater

The proposed redevelopment has been designed to provide recharge groundwater
to the maximum extent practicable in proposed conditions. In the full build of the
project (a mix of new and redevelopment) a large infiltration basin is proposed at
the south parcel. However the connection under the roadway to this basin was
proposed at this phase and shallow infiltration trench systems are proposed at the
south side of the main roadway and adjacent to 2 of the new barns. These systems
have been sized to accommodate and recharge the increase in impervious area and
are designed to capture approximately 84.8% of the 1.16acres of increased
impervious area. The basin has been designed to be very shallow which will
allow it to drain down in less than 72 hours and will encourage infiltration on the
smaller more common storms.
Note that the infiltration trench was not included in the peak flow calculations to
provide a more conservative proposed peak flow and volume estimate.
Standard 4 – Water Quality

The proposed redevelopment will provide increase water quality treatment of the
site. The proposed detention system has been designed with multiple inlet areas
which allow the runoff to infiltrate through soil media prior to entering the system
which provides treatment for runoff very similar to a rain garden. The new
detention systems will then discharge to a stormwater treatment chamber (STC
900) which has been sized to treat the increase in impervious area with a TSS
removal rate of 81.2% (see appendix for StormCeptor sizing chart). The
treatment chamber then discharges into the existing basin where any remaining
solids have the opportunity to settle on the bottom.

The site will also be implementing an improved manure management system

between the horse barns. Contaminated water will not be able to enter the system
as it will be block until the manure has left the vicinity of the drains
Standard 5 - Higher Potential Pollutant Loads

The proposed project is not expected to yield high potential pollutant loads.
Standard 6 - Protection of Critical Areas

The project site does not discharge to critical areas as defined in MA DEP
Stormwater Policy Handbook.
Standard 7 - Redevelopment Projects

The proposed project is a redevelopment project and will improve the site to the
maximum extent practicable by incorporating recharge and water quality measures
that will function for the phase until the full build out is constructed.
Standard 8 - Erosion/Sediment Control

Erosion and sediment controls will be fully been incorporated into the project
design to prevent erosion, control sediments, and stabilized exposed soils during
construction and land disturbance. This project is covered by a NPDES
Construction General Permit and a SWPPP will be submitted by the contractor
prior to the start of construction.
Standard 9 - Operation/Maintenance Plan

An Operation and Maintenance Plan for the proposed project is included in
Appendix E. It includes general controls for construction and long term
maintenance of the stormwater management system.
Standard 10 – Prohibition of Illicit Discharges

No illicit discharges will occur as a result of this project.
VII. Summary
The impervious area from existing to proposed conditions will increase by

approximately 1.16 acres from the construction of the 3 new barns and new paved
areas. The combination of the improvements to the stormwater system on site will
ensure that the redevelopment will significantly improve the existing site.

Three County Fairgrounds-Phase 1 October 1, 2001 Revised 11/1/10 & 11/3/10
Appendix E – Proposed Stormwater Management

System Operation & Maintenance Plan

Three County Fairgrounds October 1, 2010 Revised 11/1/10& 11/3/10
Northampton, MA Operation & Maintenance Plan
Proposed
Stormwater Management System
Operation & Maintenance Plan
During Construction
The Contractor shall be responsible for inspection and maintenance during

construction.
At all times, siltation fabric fencing, stakes and hay bales sufficient to construct a
sedimentation control barrier a minimum of 50 feet long will be stockpiled on the
site in order to repair established barriers which may have been damaged or
breached.
An inspection of all erosion control and stormwater management systems shall be

conducted by the Contractor at least once a week and during all rain storms until
the completion of construction. In case of any noted breach or failure, the
Contractor shall immediately make appropriate repairs to any erosion control
system and notify the engineer of any problems involving stormwater
management systems.
A rain storm shall be defined as all or one of the following:

• Any storm in which rain is predicted to last for twelve consecutive hours or
more.
• Any storm for which a flash flood watch or warning is issued.
• Any single storm predicted to have a cumulative rainfall of greater than one-
half inch.
• Any storm not meeting the previous three thresholds but which would mark a
third consecutive day of measurable rainfall.
The Contractor shall also inspect the erosion control and stormwater management
systems at times of significant increase in surface water runoff due to rapid
thawing when the risk of failure of erosion control measures is significant.
In such instances as remedial action is necessary, the Contractor shall repair any
and all significant deficiencies in erosion control systems within two days.
The Department of Public Works shall be notified of any significant failure of

stormwater management systems and erosion and sediment control measures and
shall be notified of any release of pollutants to a water body (stream, brook, pond,
etc.) or into a conveyance system to a water body.
1
The Contractor shall remove the sediment from behind the fence of the
sedimentation control barrier when the accumulated sediment has reached one-
half of the original installed height of the barrier.
Post-Construction
Stormwater Management System Owner:
The Owner,

Fair Street
Northampton, MA 01060
shall own the stormwater management system.
Party Responsible for Operation & Maintenance:
The Owner,

Fair Street
shall operate and maintain the stormwater management system.
Inspection & Maintenance Schedule:
1) Street Sweeping
Street and parking area sweeping shall take place twice annually.
2) Existing Detention Basins (The following recommendations follow the MADEP

Stormwater Policy guidelines.)
Inspections
. Twice per year.

Examine basin for the following: differential settlement, cracking,
erosion, leakage, or tree growth on embankments, condition of
riprap, sediment accumulation, and health of turf where applicable.
Any adverse conditions noted during any inspections shall be addressed by

repair or reconsideration of design components.
2
Mowing and General Maintenance
Occasional mowing (2 times per year min.) shall be performed on the side
slopes and basin bottom where turf is present. Accumulated grass
clippings and/or organic matter and trash and debris shall be removed.
Any clogged surface areas can be loosened by deep tilling; tilled areas
must be immediately revegetated. Tilling may be used in this manner for
no more than two consecutive maintenance periods. Thereafter, sediment
in the clogged areas shall be removed, liner material replaced, and
revegetation established.
Dredging/Sediment Removal
Accumulated sediment shall be removed from the basin at five (5) year
intervals, or as required to maintain the function of the stormwater
management system as designed. During this process and until the
disturbed sediment has settled, the outlet pipe shall be sealed so as to
minimize the risk of conveying sediment beyond the basin.
3) Subsurface Trench Systems
Subsurface Trench ‘D’

Inspect for trench damage monthly. A minimum of twice annually, following
heavy storm events and otherwise as needed perform visual inspection of all
overflow inlets. Rake to remove leaves and debris during the spring and fall. Mow
plantings a minimum of twice annually and otherwise as needed. Add additional
loam to cover GrassPave units and replant as needed. Remove all areas of
collected sediment following occurrences and restore to original conditions. For
trenches in high traffic areas, at least once every 5 years plantings and planting
media shall be removed from GrassPave units and replaced with new.
Subsurface Trench ‘C’

overflow inlets. Rake to remove leaves and debris during the spring and fall. Mow
plantings a minimum of once annually. Sediment shall also be removed following
any occurrence and trench shall be restored to original conditions.
Subsurface Trench ‘E’

overflow inlets. Rake to remove leaves and debris during the spring and fall.
3
Following events, inspect for proper grading and remove all areas of collected
sediment. Sediment shall also be removed following any occurrence and trench
shall be restored to original conditions.
Subsurface Trench Section ‘F’

overflow inlets. Maintain visible concrete walk at all times ‘non-cleaning’ times.
During barn cleaning, all inlet grates shall be replaced with a solid cover until
manure and other debris has been removed. Following all events inspect for
proper grading and remove all areas of collected sediment. Sediment shall also be
removed following any occurrence and trench shall be restored to original
conditions.
4) Phase 1 Infiltration Trench

overflow inlets. Rake to remove leaves and debris during the spring and fall.
Following events, inspect for proper grading and remove all areas of collected
sediment. Sediment shall also be removed following any occurrence and trench
shall be restored to original conditions.
5) Hooded Catch Basin, Drain Basin, and/or Drain Manhole with Sump
Oil and water separators should be inspected at least four times per year and
cleaned annually or more often if required. Oil and sediments should be removed
and disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal guidelines and
regulations. In the case of an oil or bulk pollutant release, the system must be
cleaned immediately following the spill and the proper authorities notified.
6) Stormwater Treatment Chamber
The Stormwater Treatment Chamber, of which there is 1 StormCeptor (Model #

900) water quality structure or equal treatment chambers, shall be inspected and
maintained according the manufacturer’s specifications. Rinker, the manufacturer
of Stormceptor recommends that maintenance be completed on the structures at
least once per year, but advises that the units be checked once every three months
during the first year to determine the rate of sediment and oil accumulation and to
establish an appropriate maintenance schedule. The rate at which the system
collects pollutants will depend on site activities. Maintenance or cleaning shall be
performed when the stored volume reaches 15% (6 inch sediment depth) of the
Stormceptor capacity, when oil (hydrocarbon) has accumulated to 1 inch or
greater depth, or immediately in the event of a fuel or oil spill according the
4
manufacturer’s specifications. All material removed from the Stormceptor shall be

disposed in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal guidelines and
regulations. For more detail of how the StormCeptor should be maintained see the
StormCeptor's Owner Manual.
7) Pump System for Stormwater
The existing pump system shall be operated after every significant storm and shall
remain on until the system has been drawn down completely. The standard
operating rate for the pump shall be 200gpm and the system shall be drawn down
to elevation 112.84’ (minimum) in less than 72 hours. The owner shall maintain a
story pole within the existing east detention basin showing elevations for
reference.
Volume of Pond below Outlet to be Pumped (below elev. 116’) = 115,373cf

Pump Rate = 200gpm or 0.45cfs
Pond Drawdown Time = 115,373cf/(0.45cfs X 60seconds/min X 60min/hour X

24hours/day X 3 days) = 115,373cf/116,640cf = 71.2hours

Northampton, MA Long Term Pollution Prevention Plan
Long Term Pollution Prevention Plan
This plan was developed in compliance with the Massachusetts Department of

Environmental Protection Stormwater requirements.
Good Housekeeping
The proposed site is designed to maintain high water quality treatment for all runoff. A
general maintenance plan has been prepared and will be followed in a strict and complete
manner as required.
Spill Prevention Plan

No hazardous materials are will be stored on site. However the following spill prevention
plan will be incorporated into the Long Term Pollution Prevention Plan:
• Manufacturers’ recommended methods for spill cleanup will be clearly posted and
site personnel will be made aware of the procedures and the location of the
information and cleanup supplies.
• Materials and equipment necessary for spill cleanup will be kept in the on-site
material storage area. Equipment and materials will include, but is not limited to,
brooms, dust pans, mops, rags, gloves, goggles, kitty litter, sand, sawdust and
plastic and metal trash containers specifically for this purpose.
• All spills will be cleaned up immediately after discovery.
• The spill area will be kept well ventilated and personnel will wear appropriate
protective clothing to prevent injury from contact with a hazardous substance.
• Spills of toxic or hazardous material will be reported, regardless of size, to the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection at 888-304-1133.
• Should a spill occur, the spill prevention plan will be adjusted to include measures
to prevent another spill and to cleanup up the spill should another occur. A
description of the spill, along with the causes and cleanup measures will be
included in the updated spill prevention plan.
• The construction superintendent responsible for daily operation on the
construction site will be the spill prevention and cleanup coordinator. The
superintendent will designate at least three site personnel to receive spill
prevention cleanup and training. These individuals will each become responsible
for a particular phase of prevention and cleanup. The names of responsible spill
personnel will be posted in the material storage area and in the on-site job trailer.
