    Executive Summary

    This Stormwater Management Report has been prepared to address changes to the stormwater

    characteristics at the 4.63 acre 30 South Broadway site that would result from its redevelopment

    into The Continuum Company facility project in the Village of Irvington, New York. Stormwater

    management requirements of the proposed redevelopment, including the anticipated site

    disturbance of approximately 3.5 acres, will be evaluated and quantified in terms of stormwater

    runoff and pollutants associated with onsite stormwater discharge.

    The stormwater management design of the redeveloped facility adheres to a five step process

    outlined by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservations (NYSDEC) New

    York State Stormwater Management Design Manual (NYSSMDM), dated August 2010. The

    following report is a summary of the strategies employed to redevelop the existing developed site

    while meeting the stormwater regulations and requirements included in the New York State

    Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) SPDES General Permit GP010001 and

    the Village of Irvington Town Code, Chapter 183, Stormwater Management requirements.

    Through the use of proposed site planning methods, planned green infrastructure techniques,

    standard and alternative stormwater management practices (SMPs) at the redeveloped site, the

    proposed stormwater peak rates of stormwater runoff are estimated to be at or below existing

    conditions for each 24hour storm event up to and including the 100year storm event. In addition,

    through the use of stormwater runoff reduction measures where feasible, the increases in total

    runoff volume from the entire redeveloped site will be mitigated.

    I. Site Planning

    A. Site LocationThe project site is located in the Village of Irvington, New York at 30 South Broadway.

    The site is bounded to the north by a residential coop complex, to the west by the Old

    Croton Aqueduct, to the south by two residential homes and the Barney Brook which runs

    parallel to Station Road and to the east by South Broadway. Via underground storm

    drainage pipe systems and overland flow, the site ultimately discharges to the Hudson River

    via the Barney Brook, part of the Lower Hudson River Basins Watershed. Refer to the Site

    Location Map, Figure SWM1, for an aerial view of the site and surrounding areas.

    B. Existing Site Conditions:The existing 4.63 acre site is currently developed and occupied by the Foundation for

    Economic Education. The property consists of a threestory main building with adjacent

    accessory buildings, sheds, parking and drives. Outside the limits of these impervious areas

    and associated lawns, the terrain is partially wooded and sloped. No water quality measures

    exist as part of the currently developed site. Per the Federal Emergency Management

    Agency, the project site is not located within a 100 or 500year flood zone, but ultimately

    discharges to the Barney Brook which has been mapped to be in these flood zones.1

    The 4.63 acre site is part of a larger overall study watershed totaling 10.28 acres, including

    neighboring parcels north to Main Street and south to the Barney Brook. An Existing

    Drainage Conditions Map, Figure SWM2, has been prepared to identify the natural

    resource areas and existing drainage patterns and discharge points (DP) of the study

    watershed. The site and surrounding drainage areas in the study watershed are divided into

    four separate subwatersheds, with two of the four subwatersheds encompassing almost 90%

    of the study watersheds. Nearly half of the site discharges via overland flow to the Barney

    Brook along the southern boundary of the site (DP 3), with the remainder of the main

    portion of the developed portion property discharging to the east to an existing storm

    drainage system along South Broadway (DP 1). Less than 20% of the site discharges via

    sheet flow to the same existing storm drainage system along South Broadway just upstream

    of the existing culvert discharging into the Barney Brook (DP 2). The final subwatershed

    encompasses approximately half of the existing parking area and discharges via both existing

    underground storm drainage system and overland flow to the Old Croton Aqueduct (DP 4)

    and ultimately discharges into the Barney Brook.

    The entire existing study watershed, approximately 10.28 acres in size, includes

    approximately 3.62 acres of impervious area, an estimated 35% of the study area. Of the

    impervious area within the study watershed, an estimated 1.06 acres of impervious area is

    located on the project site, an estimated 23% of the property.

    C. Redevelopment Planning Strategies:The main goal of the redevelopment of the site is to minimize the additional disturbance of

    undeveloped portion of the property in order to preserve the remaining natural features of

    the developed site, while maintaining the general drainage patterns of the existing site. The

    proposed action will be a combination of both redevelopment and new construction, as

    defined by the NYSDEC New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual

    (NYSSWMDM), August 2010. The portions of the site considered redevelopment are areas

    of the site that are currently disturbed and will be reconstructed as either pervious or

    impervious surfaces. The estimated 1.3 acre additional impervious area proposed will be

    treated and designed as new construction as defined by the NYSSWMDM.

    By substantially retaining the main building, driveway and dropoff circle and then by siting

    the remainder of the proposed facility across the former footprint of the existing buildings,

    parking areas and lawn areas, the northern and eastern portions of the site were generally

    maintained, and the impacts to the remaining natural features are minimized and increases

    to the total impervious controlled. By milling and repaving these existing areas, grading,

    earthwork cut and site disturbance will be minimized. In certain locations where the main

    house, driveway and dropoff circle are to generally remain, there is inadequate space for

    treating stormwater runoff. The western and southern portions of the site will be

    substantially developed, while maintaining the existing buffer where feasible. Green

    infrastructure techniques, standard stormwater management practices and alternative

    measures will improve the stormwater quality conditions of the runoff from the site from

    current conditions.

    In addition to careful site planning strategies, stormwater management measures have been

    proposed to ensure that the developed conditions of the site generally maintain the pre

    construction hydrology of the site, including the implementation of underground detention

    pipes, porous pavement, rain gardens and stormwater planters. Refer to the Proposed

    Drainage Conditions Map, Figure SWM3 for locations of these measures. These measures

    significantly improve the overall water quality of the stormwater runoff from the site by

    providing diversion, infiltration and an increased travel time allowing for sediment removal

    and uptake into the plant regime.

    D. Soil Types:The soil classifications and their limits of the study watershed were provided from mapping

    compiled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Service Soil Survey of Putnam and

    Westchester Counties, New York which has classified the soil types as follows:

    Soil Symbol Hydrologic Soil Group Description

    ChE B Charlton LoamSuB B Sutton LoamUhB B Urban Land Charlton Complex

    The project site is estimated to be Urban Land Charlton Complex, hydrologic soil group

    (HSG) B, referred to as very deep, well drained, and gently sloping Charlton soil2. Geotech

    findings indicate that the site is overlain by natural glacial deposits. The limit of disturbance

    area for the proposed redevelopment of the site is in this area of urban land and HSG B.

    II. Water Quality Treatment Volume (WQv)

    As a project containing portions of redevelopment and new construction, the required water

    quality volume (WQv) is estimated as a percentage of WQv from the existing, previously

    untreated, onsite area plus 100% of the WQv of the increased impervious area. Table No.1,

    Existing Drainage Conditions, illustrates a breakdown of the impervious and pervious areas

    within each subwatershed discharging to each of the design points. Table No. 2, Redeveloped

    Drainage Conditions, tabulates the proposed conditions of the redeveloped site for The

    Continuum Company facility. The WQv will be calculated based on the original 1.06 acres of

    previously untreated impervious area on the current developed site plus the WQv from the 1.3

    acres of newly created impervious area.

    A. Redevelopment WQv MethodologyPer Chapter 9,Redevelopment Projects, of the New York State Department of Environmental

    Conservation (NYSDEC) New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual

    (NYSSMDM), August 2010, required WQv is calculated using one or more of four separate

    options. The first option proposes the reduction of impervious cover from existing

    conditions to redeveloped conditions by 25% or more. In order to meet The Continuum

    Company facility program, provide circulation, adequate parking and emergency access

    while generally preserving the existing buffer, it was not feasible to reduce the impervious

    cover of the site.

    The second option for redevelopment WQv calculation proposes that a minimum of 25% of

    the WQv from the existing disturbed impervious area is captured and treated by the

    implementation of a NYSDEC standard practice or green infrastructure technique. The 1.3

    acres of newly created impervious area would require 100% of its WQv be captured and

    treated. The proposed redeveloped site will meet the NYSDEC water quality treatment

    objective using this option.

  • 7/29/2019 Continuum Draft FEIS Oct 2012 - Appendix 4 Stormwater Management file_73

    12/73

    II2

    The third option allows for the use of alternative practices, sized to meet a minimum of 75%

    of the water quality volume from the disturbed, impervious area. It is anticipated the

    stormwater runoff from the existing main house to remain, portion of the dropoff circle

    and entry driveway will be treated by using a hydrodynamic separator, an approved

    alternative practice by the NYSDEC.

    The fourth option proposes a combination of the first three options, allowing for the use of

    standard and alternative practices. It is anticipated that this option will need be employed.

    B. Redevelopment WQv CalculationsRefer to Table No. 3, Stormwater Quality Management Measures, for a detailed breakdown

    of the proposed stormwater management measures to be provided to address stormwater

    quality management on the project site. The calculations are based on the existing total

    impervious area on site of 1.06 acres plus the addition of 1.29 acres of impervious area,

    totaling 2.35 acres under redeveloped conditions, a mixture of redevelopment and new

    construction.

    III. Runoff Reduction (RRv)

    A. Redevelopment Requirements for RRvChapter 9,Redevelopment Projects, of the New York State Department of Environmental

    Conservation (NYSDEC) New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual

    (NYSSMDM), August 2010, explains that though encouraged, meeting the Runoff

    Reduction Volume (RRv) sizing criteria is not required for redevelopment projects.1

    Because the redevelopment of the project site includes both redevelopment and new

    construction, the potential for incorporating green infrastructure techniques to the entire site

    was evaluated, and it was determined that the site could employ these measures.

    B. Redevelopment RRv CalculationsThe application of green infrastructure techniques is prohibited in certain locations within

    the proposed limit of disturbance by the existing steep slopes of the site and by the proposed

    preservation to the maximum extent practicable of existing buffers surrounding the existing

    developed areas. With these site constraints as justifications for calculating minimum RRv,

    it is estimated that the minimum volume reduction using green infrastructure techniques

    with RRv capacity is approximately 4,200 cubic feet for the entire study watershed area.

    Due to the hydrologic soil group (HSG) B and the site limitations, the NYSDEC considers

    a minimum of 40% of the RRv to be an acceptable threshold. Though the goal would be to

    meet 100% of the RRv, an estimated 5,200 cubic feet of RRv is provided, which is greater

    than the minimum required by NYSDEC and equal to approximately 50% of the 100%

    RRv. The following is a summary of the breakdown of the onsite green infrastructure

    techniques proposed.

    The proposed redevelopment of the site will provide for the implementation of green roofs,

    rain gardens (incorporating elements of bioretention practices), stormwater planters and

    porous pavement as its green infrastructure techniques to address stormwater volume

    reduction. The green infrastructure techniques are placed to disconnect impervious areas,

    increase flow paths and minimize stormwater runoff.

    Though NYSDEC does not require that redevelopment portions of projects meet RRv

    requirements, the portion of the project that would qualify as redevelopment, approximately

    1.06 acres of impervious area, when combined with the new construction portion,

    approximately an additional 1.3 acres of impervious area will meet or exceed the calculated

    minimum RRv values if all impervious area were to be considered new construction.

    The water quality volume (WQv) requirements, estimated to be approximately 7,175 cubic

    feet, have been substantially met with the use of these green infrastructure techniques with

    RRv capacity provided. Two hydrodynamic separators are proposed to treat the stormwater

    runoff from the roof of the existing house and partial dropoff area and from the existing

    entry driveway. These alternative measures, when combined with the green infrastructure

    techniques employed on the rest of the site, will meet the WQv requirements for the project.

    IV. Adjusted Water Quality Volume (WQv)

    A. Standard Stormwater Management Practices (SMPs)The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) New York

    State Stormwater Management Design Manual (NYSSMDM), August 2010, outlines the

    standard stormwater management practices (SMPs) that can be evaluated for use as

    stormwater quality measures. The acceptable practices area divided into five broad groups

    as follows:

    I. Stormwater PondsII. Stormwater WetlandsIII. Infiltration PracticesIV. Filtering PracticesV. Open Channel Practices

    Due to the existing surrounding slopes, the topography of the site and the proposed

    preservation of existing buffers to the maximum extent practicable, ponds, wetlands,

    infiltration and open channel practices are not acceptable SMPs for the project site.

    B. Alternative Practices Accepted by the NYSDECAs previously discussed, on redevelopment projects the NYSDEC allows for the use ofaccepted verified manufactured technologies alternative practices, sized to meet a minimum

    of 75% of the water quality volume from the disturbed, impervious area. An acceptable

    alternative practice is a hydrodynamic separator, a preferred choice when there is the lack of

    space for a standard SMP or green infrastructure technique. Due to the proposed use of

    green infrastructure techniques such as porous pavement and rain gardens, over 70% of the

    WQv requirements have been met, but additional practices are required to meet minimum

    water quality volume (WQv) requirements, therefore a hydrodynamic separator is proposed

    for The Continuum Company facility project at the main house/dropoff circle and at the

    entry drive.

    V. Water Quantity Control

    Through the use of the suggested site planning methods and planned green infrastructure

    techniques at the proposed redeveloped site, stormwater runoff reduction results mitigate

    proposed peak rates of runoff from the site. The proposed measures allow for stormwater

    runoff storage and infiltration for smaller storm events with overflow control structures to

    discharge larger storm events in a controlled manner at rates equal to or less than existing

    conditions. In Subwatersheds DP 2, DP 3 and DP 4, with the modified subwatershed

    boundaries and reduction in impervious surfaces, it is estimated that the peak rates of runoff

    from the proposed developed site are equal to or less than existing conditions.

    In order to meet the program requirements of the onsite facility, the proposed buildings were

    generally located along the open space areas and within the vicinity of the existing buildings.

    The reconfigured subwatershed discharging to DP 1 was increased by approximately 2.15 acres

    across the entire study watershed. To provide peak rates of runoff from this DP for each 24

    hour storm event up to and including the 100year storm event to be at or below existing

    conditions, underground detention pipes1 are proposed along the eastern edge of the loading

    dock and emergency access road.

    Table 4, Stormwater Quantity Design Flow Summary, outlines the existing flow rates at each

    DP for the 1year through the 100year 24hour storm events. Also included are the

    anticipated design flow rates for the improved redeveloped site and a delta indicating that at

    each DP for each storm event the proposed peak rate of runoff is at or below existing

    conditions.

    Where applicable, channel protection volume (CPv), Overbank Flood (Qp) and Extreme

    Storm (Qf) considerations have been provided, consistent with the New York State

    Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) New York State Stormwater

    Management Design Manual (NYSSMDM), August 2010 thereby meeting the Village of

    1Full detention is not recommended in the subwatershed due to the delayed timing of the release of each storm event intothe downstream offsite storm drainage system that connects to the Barney Brook which has historic evidence of causing

    flooding conditions. A preferable option would be to release the runoff from the site before the confluence of upstream

    drainage areas to this section of the Barney Brook.

    Irvington stormwater management requirements. CPv, estimated to be 0.25 acrefeet, is

    accommodated in the underground detention pipes which for the 1year storm event has a

    storage volume of 0.29 acrefeet, in excess of the CPv. Qp addresses the control of the peak

    discharge of the 10year storm event to at or below predevelopment rates. For design point

    DP1, the existing 10year storm event peak rate of flow is estimated to be 12.8 cubic feet per

    second (cfs) and under redeveloped conditions is approximated to be 10.7 cfs; thereby meeting

    the Qp requirements. Qf addresses the control of the peak discharge of the 100year storm

    event to at or below predevelopment rates. For design point DP1, the existing 100year storm

    event peak rate of flow is estimated to be 22.1 cubic feet per second (cfs) and under

    redeveloped conditions is approximated to be 21.8 cfs; thereby meeting the Qf requirements.

    The detention pipes safely pass the 100year storm event.

    Refer to Table 5, Stormwater Management Basin Summary, for a hydrologic analysis of the

    detention pipes modeled as part of the overall study watershed analysis.
