I. Introduction This Drainage Statement has been prepared to define and analyze the stormwater drainage conditions that would occur as a result of the improvements to Block 153, Lot 38, as shown on the Township of West Orange Tax Map Sheet No. 84, located in the Township of West Orange, Essex County, New Jersey. In existing conditions, the subject site consists of 1.07 acres (45,713 SF) and is located at 470 Eagle Rock Avenue. Under existing conditions, the site is developed as a restaurant with associated parking, landscaping and lighting. The existing development has an impervious coverage of 80.5% (36,974 SF) and is located in the B-2 – General Business Zone. The proposed development consists of the demolition of the existing restaurant and the construction of a 2,525 SF Popeyes restaurant with a drive-thru and a 1,484 SF Sonic restaurant with a drive-thru. Additional site amenities include parking, landscaping, lighting and a trash enclosures. The proposed development will provide a total impervious coverage of 68.8% (31,436 SF), resulting in a 5,538 SF (11.7%) reduction. In addition, the project will result in a decrease in motor vehicle surface area of approximately 4,133 SF from 28,325 SF to 24,192 SF. Per the Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey, a portion of the property is located within unclassified Urban Land soil. To be conservative, the analysis utilized HSG B in existing conditions and HSG D in proposed for disturbed areas within the Urban Land soil. Based upon the fact that the proposed improvements will result in more than one (1) acre of land disturbance, this project is classified as a “major development” and is subject to compliance with the Stormwater Regulations set forth in NJAC 7:8. However, the project will result in a decrease in motor vehicle surface area and impervious coverage from existing to proposed conditions. As such, the project does not increase regulated motor vehicle surface by more than one-quarter acre and is therefore not required to meet the stormwater runoff quality standards under NJAC 7:8-5.5 and Township of West Orange Ordinance §25-29.4.q. A hydrological evaluation is provided for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year storm events utilizing the Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds TR55 Method to confirm compliance with the stormwater runoff quantity and groundwater recharge standards set forth by

10-, and 100-year storm events utilizing the Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds TR55 Method to confirm compliance with the stormwater runoff quantity and groundwater recharge standards set forth by the Township of West Orange Land Development Ordinance and NJAC 7:8. II. Existing Drainage Conditions In existing conditions, a majority of the stormwater runoff from the area to be disturbed is conveyed via overland flow to the proposed onsite inlets which connect to the existing stormwater infrastructure within Rosney Terrace. Stormwater runoff from Rosney Terrace ultimately discharges into the existing stormwater infrastructure within Eagle Rock Avenue. The remaining stormwater runoff from the site discharges directly to the existing inlet along Eagle Rock Avenue via overland flow. As such, one point of analysis can be considered for the overall development. MPB Realty, LLC October 2022 DEC# 1021-99-025 3 Last Revised June 2023
