12 management manual to match the system that is approved by the board. It would include inspection and maintenance, recommendations by the manufacture and then it would also designate responsible parties, how frequent the inspections would be, and then what steps for any maintenance that is required. BOARD QUESTIONS • Ms. Kapferer asked regarding the chamber system, is that designed to infiltrate storm water. Mr. Cokeley said yes. • Ms. Kapferer asked can you confirm that at this point no geo technical analysis has been performed. Mr. Cokeley said yes that is correct. • Ms. Kapferer asked in regard of the soil survey for the area, did it list a depth to bedrock. Mr. Cokeley said he does not recall that aspect of it. • Ms. Kapferer asked has there been any thought if the soil testing comes back and indicates there’s an issue with bedrock and the soil can’t infiltrate the water, is there feasibility for another system to be installed instead. Mr. Cokeley said if they were to get 0 infiltration rate, it would put them in a different class because then they would have not to meet infiltration pre infrastructure requirement so they would look into a different practice. They are optimistic they will obtain reasonable infiltration rates. • Ms. Kapferer asked regarding the seepage tank system, is there any concerns about the positioning of the wall right next to the seepage system. Mr. Cokeley said one of Mr. Scott’s comments was stability analysis which takes into account the uphill influences of the wall so that would have to be part of that calculation. • Mr. Klein asked when you designed your drainage system, did you design it based on the pervious pavers. Mr. Cokeley said yes. • Mr. Klein asked do you have any excess capacity to pick up any of the water that is coming off of Eagle Ridge Way. Mr. Cokeley said he doesn’t believe so. The system they designed for the site includes the porous pavers and that allows them to hit those reductions required by the state. If they would take more on, the system would have to be revised. • Mr. Klein asked if the seepage tanks overflow, is it going to act if it’s going down the hill. Mr. Cokeley said they are going to add an outfall pipe to the plan, extend it, and bring it to the scour hole. • Mr. Klein asked what happens when it gets to the scour hole, will it continue to the neighbor’s property. Mr. Cokeley said yes. •

outfall pipe to the plan, extend it, and bring it to the scour hole. • Mr. Klein asked what happens when it gets to the scour hole, will it continue to the neighbor’s property. Mr. Cokeley said yes. • Mr. Klein asked will that be better or the same. Mr. Cokeley said that the entire flow after everything is installed will be reduced. • Mr. Klein asked does that take into account for the water that comes off the street onto the site and then from the site to off the site. Mr. Cokeley said it does not account for what is coming through Crystal Point onto the site. Our focus area is 40 Eagle Ridge Way. • Mr. Klein asked the additional impervious and the reduction of the runoff, if I am downhill, will it be equal or less water coming off 40 Eagle Ridge Way. Mr. Cokeley said less. • Ms. Scarpa asked who has the responsibility for the maintenance. Mr. Cokeley said typically the operation and maintenance plan identifies the owner of the facility and then they would be required to in the maintenance plan designate a contractor to perform regular inspection maintenance. • Mayor McCartney asked what is the distance from the pool to the wall that was mentioned. Mr. Cokeley said the pool is about 65 feet to the wall and then downhill of
