4 4.1 TOPOGRAPHY AND SLOPES Because the existing property has already been substantially developed for residential use, the project site terrain has been graded and reshaped. It is intended that this project would modify the existing topography by modifying some of the lower areas of the site. This will be accomplished through the installation of retaining walls along the western property line of Lot 6.01 and the western & eastern property lines of Lot 6.03. The proposed subdivision and development will require grading to establish building pads and drainage patterns. These changes are typical of residential development and are not expected to result in significant adverse impacts. Proper grading design will ensure stability and compatibility with surrounding properties as well as the existing drainage pattern. 4.2 VEGETATION Some existing vegetation, including lawn areas and potentially trees, will be removed as part of site development. The impact is considered moderate and localized. Replacement landscaping will improve site aesthetics and provide buffering consistent with residential standards. 4.3 HYDROLOGY AND STORM WATER RUNOFF Development will increase impervious coverage due to building footprints, driveways, and walkways. However, the project will incorporate stormwater management systems designed to meet the necessary requirements as specific by the Township’s ordinance for a Minor Development. As a result, the overall impact on downstream drainage systems is expected to be minimal to negligible. 4.4 SOIL EROSION & SEDIMENT CONTROL Construction activities may temporarily increase the risk of soil erosion. These impacts will be mitigated through compliance with: • Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plans • Installation of silt fencing, inlet protection, and stabilization measures • 4.5 SEWAGE The proposed single-family dwellings will generate typical domestic sanitary flows. These flows are minimal and will have negligible impact on the existing municipal sewer system. 4.6 AIR QUALITY & NOISE Construction activities will result in temporary increases in noise and minor dust generation. These impacts are short-term and typical of residential construction.
