| | IN MANY PARTS OF THE CITY THE ABSENCE OF ANY STORMWATER |
| | BMP (STORMWATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES) IN SITES |
| | ALLOWS THE BOTH THE WATER VOLUME AND |
| | CONTAMINANT/POLLUTANT LOAD TO ENTER OUR SYSTEM |
| | UNTREATED. WHILE WE BELIEVE OUR EXISTING SYSTEM IS |
| | SUFFICIENT TO SERVICE THE STORMWATER VOLUME FOR YOUR |
| | PROPOSED USE, WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE FIRST FLUSH FROM |
| | THE PARKING AREA CONTAINS 90% OF THE |
| | CONTAMINANT/POLLUTANT LOAD FROM RAIN EVENTS AND THIS |
| | LOADING IS TRANSFERRED TO THE CITY?S STORMWATER SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | ACCORDINGLY, THE CITY HAS THE AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE |
| | STORMWATER BMP?S ON THE ENTIRE SITE WITH OR WITHOUT THE |
| | PROGRESSION OF THE PROPOSED WORK. HOWEVER, IN |
| | CONSIDERATION OF THE SCOPE OF THE PROPOSED |
| | IMPROVEMENTS, THE CITY HAS THE AUTHORITY TO THROTTLE |
| | IMPLEMENTATION OF BMP?S. IN THIS CASE, OUR |
| | RECOMMENDATION IS THAT YOU AS THE PROPERTY OWNER SHALL |
| | DESIGN AND MODIFY THE EXISTING STORMWATER |
| | INFRASTRUCTURE SERVING THE EXISTING PARKING AND PAVED |
| | AREA THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE PLANNING AND |
| | ZONING DEPARTMENT AS REQUIRED TO SUPPORT THE PROPOSED |
| | BUILDING USE. |
| | |
| | ANY MODIFICATION SHALL INCORPORATE STORMWATER BMP?S |
| | SUFFICIENT TO DETAIN THE FIRST FLUSH FROM THE |
| | REFERENCED PAVED AREA. OWNER MAY PROPOSE AN ISOLATED |
| | SYSTEM THAT DETAINS AND PERCOLATES. PLEASE REFER TO THE |
| | SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT MANUAL, IT;S A |
| | GOOD GUIDE TO SEE THE OPTIONS THAT MAY WORK WITH YOUR |
| | SITE. PLEASE LOOK AT THE OPTIONS FOR NONSTRUCTURAL |
| | BMP'S AND STRUCTURAL BMP'S. WE BELIEVE ANY OF THESE |
| | MODIFICATIONS REFLECT REASONABLE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE |
| | EXISTING CONDITIONS AND ARE CONSISTENT WITH PRACTICES |
| | OF BOTH THE CITY AND SOUTH FLORIDAWATER MANAGEMENT |
| | DISTRICT. PLEASE PROVIDE STORM CALCULATIONS WITH YOUR |
| | PLAN REVISIONS. INCLUDE PERVIOUS AND IMPERVIOUS |
| | QUANTITIES SO THAT WE MAY UPDATE YOUR STORM WATER |
| | ACCOUNT. |
