SANITARY SEWERS
The proposed addition to building 2 will be over an existing outlet pipe. This 10 in.
pipe will be incorporated into the interior plumbing of the addition. An existing
manhole to the south will provide a connection point for proposed construction. An
existing line to the north will provide a connection point for the proposed construction
between buildings 1 and 2. The existing medical center system is of sufficient capacity
to serve the proposed construction. Due to the fragile nature of the existing system,
construction in the vicinity may require replacement of existing lines.
STORM DRAINS
Existing lines exiting building 2 will be incorporated into the interior plumbing of
proposed construction. Roof drainage from the proposed structure between buildings 1 and
2 may be connected to existing lines to the south. Connection can also be made to the
system along the north gutter of West spring Street where the pipe elevations are
significantly lower than the on-site system. A permit is necessary for any work within
the right of way. While the proposed improvements will cause an increase in runoff from
the site due to increasing the impervious layer, it will not be significant. Grading and
landscaping associated with the project will lessen this increase.
GAS
A 6 inch line enters building 2 on the southwest end from West Spring Street, and a 3
inch line exits the building on the east end to provide gas to other areas of the site.
These lines will require relocation due to the proposed construction.
