COMMENTS
During building, parking, and road construction, and
the establishment of new lawns,
run-off could result in siltation entering the storm
drainage system. Special silt
barriers designed to stop infiltration at the inlets
will mitigate this. Rapid
establishment of lawns and specified erosion control
measures will mitigate erosion.
As part of the recent re-authorization of the Clean Water Act, amendments have been added
to the standard NPDES Discharge permit requirements. The State Department of
Environmental Protection issued a Draft General Permit for Storm water Associated with
Construction. As of 10/01/92, all construction with a disturbance area greater than 5
acres is required to apply for coverage under this permit. This project area is over 8
acres. The contents of that registration and the required Storm Water Pollution Control
Plan will be prepared as part of this project. Standards recommended by the State
Guidelines for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control will be utilized on this project.

COMMENTS
The medical center site is surrounded by residential land use of varying densities except
for a commercial/residential area to the north, and mixed uses along Campbell Avenue.
From a scale standpoint, the medical center overpowers the 2 story residences across West
Spring Street. Land uses, otherwise, are far enough away not to be impacted.
