| | THE CITY NEEDS A SEPERATE SUBMITTAL FROM YOUR CIVIL |
| | ENGINEER TO CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH ENGINEERING. |
| | |
| | IT'S IMPORTANT TO UPDATE YOUR PERVIOUS AND IMPERVIOUS |
| | GROUND AREAS SO THAT WE CAN UPDATE YOUR STORMWATER |
| | ACCOUNT WITH THE CITY. |
| | |
| | FLORIDA STATE LEGISLATURE CREATED WATER MANAGEMENT |
| | DISTRICTS TO CONTROL WATER FLOWS FOR FLOOD PROTECTION |
| | AND PRESERVE WATER RESOURCES. THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER |
| | MANAGEMENT DISTRICT IS ONE OF 5 DISTRICTS WHICH WERE |
| | CREATED, AND ENCOMPASSES THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF |
| | FLORIDA. CHAPTER 373 OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES (F.S.) |
| | (THE FLORIDA WATER RESOURCES ACT OF 1972), GIVES |
| | AUTHORITY TO THE SFWMD TO CARRY OUT ITS REGULATORY |
| | DUTIES, THE ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE PERMIT INFORMATION |
| | MANUAL VOLUME IV UPDATED IN DECEMBER 2003, IS THE |
| | LATEST EDITION. |
| | |
| | WATER QUALITY CRITERIA MUST BE IN PLACE AS RUNOFF SHALL |
| | BE DISCHARGED FROM IMPERVIOUS SURFACES THROUGH |
| | RETENTION AREAS, DETENTION DEVICES, FILTERING AND |
| | CLEANSING DEVICES, OR SUBJECT TO SOME OTHER TYPE OF |
| | BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICE (BMP) PRIOR TO DISCHARGE FROM |
| | THE PROJECT SITE. PROJECTS WHICH INCLUDE SUBSTANTIAL |
| | PAVED AREAS, SUCH AS, SHOPPING CENTERS, LARGE HIGHWAY |
| | INTERSECTIONS WITH FREQUENT STOPPED TRAFFIC, AND HIGH |
| | DENSITY DEVELOPMENTS, PROVISIONS SHALL BE MADE FOR THE |
| | REMOVAL OF OIL, GREASE, AND SEDIMENT FROM STORMWATER |
| | DISCHARGES. |
| | |
| | OFF-SITE DISCHARGES ARE LIMITED TO RATES NOT CAUSING |
| | ADVERSE IMPACTS, AND: A) HISTORIC DISCHARGE RATES, OR, |
| | B) RATES DETERMINED IN PREVIOUS DISTRICT PERMIT |
| | ACTIONS, OR; C) RATES SPECIFIED IN DISTRICT CRITERIA. |
| | |
| | OTHER ELEMENTS THAT MUST BE CONSIDERED ARE FLOOD |
| | PROTECTION OF BUILDING FLOORS AND FLOOD PROTECTION OF |
| | ROADS AND PARKING LOTS. |
| | |
| | STORMWATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPS) ARE METHODS |
| | FOUND TO BE EFFECTIVE WAYS TO PREVENT POLLUTION FROM |
| | ENTERING WATERWAYS THROUGH STORMWATER RUNOFF. THE |
| | SECTION CONSIDERS BOTH STRUCTURAL BMPS, AS WELL AS, AN |
| | EXPLORATION OF NON-STRUCTURAL SOURCE CONTROLS. |
| | STRUCTURAL BMPS ARE ENGINEERED AND CONSTRUCTED TO |
| | REDUCE, CAPTURE, AND TREAT POLLUTION GENERATED BY |
| | STORMWATER RUNOFF. GENERALLY, STRUCTURAL BMPS REQUIRE |
| | ADDITIONAL LEVELS OF MAINTENANCE TO REMAIN OPERATIONAL |
| | AND EFFECTIVE. NON-STRUCTURAL BMPS INCLUDE GENERAL |
| | PRACTICES AND POSSIBLY RULES AND REGULATIONS TO CONTROL |
| | POLLUTANTS BEFORE THEY ENTER THE STORMWATER SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | SEDIMENTS, OILS, GREASES, HYDROCARBON RESIDUE, HEAVY |
| | METALS, AND ORGANIC NUTRIENTS ARE TYPICAL TYPES OF |
| | POLLUTION GENERATED BY AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT. IN |
| | ADDITION, FERTILIZERS AND PESTICIDES CAN CONTRIBUTE TO |
| | POLLUTANT LOADINGS. |
| | |
| | PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING AND RESPOND TO CITY OF |
| | WPB ENGINEERING DEPT. 4TH FLOOR ATTENTION BRIAN MOREE, |
| | ENGINEERING CONTRUCTION SUPERVISOR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR |

| | PLAN SPECIFIC COMMENTS: |
| | SHEET C-2 DOES NOT CALL OUT ONE OF THE CATCH BASINS AS |
| | EXISTING NOR PROPOSED |
| | OUTFALL IS NOT CLEARLY SHOWN. |
| | C-1 AND C-2 COULD BE COMBINES INTO ONE SHOWING ALL |
| | DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. |
| | IDENTIFY ALL DRAINAGE EASEMENTS AND OUTFALLS ON THE |
| | PLAN. |
| | NO POLLUTION PREVENETION PLAN SHOWN. |
| | |
| | PROVIDE WRITTEN RESPONSE TO PREVIOUS COMMENTS BY |
| | RCHOKSI AND EFABIAN. (PREVIOUS ENGINEERING REVIEW |
