Refer to the hydrograph report calculations in Appendix A. • Point of Analysis 2 (POA-2): The proposed redevelopment within this watershed results in peak runoff rates increasing in the proposed condition, and quantity control BMPs are required to be implemented. Therefore, it shall be demonstrated in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:8-5.6.(b).3 that the post-construction peak runoff rates for both the current and future 2-, 10-, and 100-year design storm events are 50, 75, and 80%, respectively, of the pre-construction runoff rates for the disturbed portions of the overall watershed.

According to N.J.A.C. 7:8-5.2.(f), small-scale bioretention basins and porous asphalt pavement systems qualify as green infrastructure BMP’s that may be utilized for stormwater quantity, stormwater runoff quality, and groundwater recharge requirements without a waiver or variance. 12

Routing calculations have been provided in order to demonstrate that the basins have adequate storage capacity to safely convey storm events up to the 100-year design storm for both the current and future rainfall events; refer to Appendix C for supporting calculations. The total proposed peak discharge rates for the identified points of analysis can then be calculated by adding together the peak outflow from the proposed small-scale bioretention basins and porous asphalt pavement systems, along with the peak discharges from the undetained and undisturbed watersheds.
