CME Associates’ team has extensive experience and expertise and is capable of conducting and preparing the necessary locations and maps for the stormwater outfall pipe mapping as well as an update to the current Municipal Stormwater Management Plan. CME will provide the following services as required by the Township: 1. Municipal Stormwater Mangement Plan (MSWMP): CME will update the Township’s existing 2005 MSWMP including tables, figures and appendices to the report. In addition, we will provide a complete buildout analysis using Township’s inventory of total land area sorted by HUC14 and land use zone will need to be tabulated using available GIS data. The existing impervious areas, wetlands areas and waterbodies will need to be subtracted out of the total land area to calculate the developable area. The Township’s allowable impervious coverage in each zone will be applied to indicate a theoretical build-out of impervious land. Also, an additional calculation will be provided by zoning type to compute pollutant loads of Total Phosphorus, Total Nitrogen and Total Suspended Solids Loads from the buildout data using load criteria published by NJDEP (Ibs/acre/yr). 2. Catch Basin Inspection, Maintenance and Mapping CME will locate catch basins using GPS/GIS using GPS, in compliance with the NJDEP GPS Data Collection Standards for GIS Data

NJDEP (Ibs/acre/yr). 2. Catch Basin Inspection, Maintenance and Mapping CME will locate catch basins using GPS/GIS using GPS, in compliance with the NJDEP GPS Data Collection Standards for GIS Data Development. The Township estimates that approximately 2,000 catch basins will need to be located and inspected throughout the municipality including inspection documentation for cleaning, clearing and repairs of structures as inspections progress in order for the Township’s DPW to schedule and make the necessary cleaning/clearing and repairs. The data collection will include: e GPS data on all catch basins that can be field-located based on existing as-built drawings of the stormwater system. Catch basins identified on any as-built drawings which cannot be field verified will be marked as such; any additional catch basins found in the field which are not in the as-built drawings will be added to the database. GPS data on all catch basins that can be field-located. \ CONSULTING AND MUNICIPAL ENGINEERS ] 1460 ROUTE 9 SOUTH » HOWELL, NEW JERSEY 07731 » (732) 462-7400 e FAX: (732) 409-0756

ASSOCIATES e Aphotograph of each catch basin. The graphical basis for this analysis will be the base map compiled from existing as-built plans, and other sources to build a useful and supportive base map for the Township’s catch basins mapping. The data collected for mapping will be in the ESRI GIS environment on NJ State Plane coordinate system required by the NJDEP. This base map will be used as a starting point for field data collection, and it is expected to be uploaded on mobile devices to record future data and supporting documentation to log in the number of wet tons of material collected. The Township will provide personnel to assist with access and location of stormwater facilities. The Township is required to update their existing 2009 Municipal Outfall Pipe Mapping which will require locating all municipally owned and operated outfall pipes. Outfalls will be located for submission to NJDEP and will be in the ESRI GIS environment on NJ State Plane coordinate system required by the NJDEP. The data collection will include: e GPS data on all outfalls that can be field-located based on the 2009 Municipal Outfall Pipe Mapping © Any additional outfalls found in the field which are not in the 2009 Municipal Outfall Pipe Mapping; ¢ — GPS data on all outfalls that can be field-located. ° Aphotograph of each outfall identifying the type of outfall and its receiving surface waterbody name; The Township will provide personnel to assist with access and location of stormwater facilities. The graphical basis for this analysis will be the base map compiled from existing as-built plans, and other sources to build a useful and supportive base map for the Township’s outfalls mapping. The data collected for mapping will be in the ESRI GIS environment on NJ State Plane coordinate system required by the NJDEP. This base map will be used as a starting point for field data collection, and it is expected to be uploaded on mobile devices to record future data and supporting documentation. Part B. The Township will be required in the next permit cycle starting in 2023 to comply with additional mapping requirements to the Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer System (MS4 permit) that will require the following additional data collection: e MS4 ground water discharge points (type); MS4 interconnections (type into/from, entity); Storm drain inlets (type, catch basin

MS4 permit) that will require the following additional data collection: e MS4 ground water discharge points (type); MS4 interconnections (type into/from, entity); Storm drain inlets (type, catch basin present, label present, retrofitted); MS4 manholes MS4 conveyance (type, direction of flow); MS4 pump stations; Stormwater facilities (type); and Property boundaries of maintenance yard(s) and other ancillary operations (type) 2|Page W,

ASSOCIATES 4. Outfall Pipe Stream Scouring: CME will conduct an investigation for stream scouring in conjunction with the outfall mapping and provide inspection reports to the Township in order to complete the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The Township will provide personnel to assist with access and location of stormwater facilities. 5. Stormwater Facilities Maintenance (Municipally Owned and/or Operated): The Township is required to prepare a written program of long-term cleaning, operation and maintenance of municipally owned and/or operated stormwater facilities for which the Township staff will compile the necessary information for CME to review for meeting the requirements of the permit and assist the Township in developing maintenance logs using NJDEP’s sample templates to link to the Township’s GIS system. 6. Stormwater Facilities Maintenance (Privately Owned and/or Operated): The Township is required to prepare a written program of long-term cleaning, operation and maintenance of privately owned and/or operated stormwater facilities for which the Township staff will compile the necessary information for CME to review for meeting the requirements of the permit and assist the Township in developing maintenance logs using NJDEP’s sample templates that can be provided to private entities and to link to the Township’s GIS system. 7. Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)/Impaired Waterway: The Township is required to identify TMDL’s for the watercourses within the municipality to assess initially and then annually for stormwater related pollutants to assess and prioritize maintenance schedules and repairs in order to address sources of pollutants of the published TDM’s. CME will review the published TMDLs for streams include Fecal Coliform and Phosphorus for lakes and prepared written recommendations to the Township relating to maintenance priorities to be incorporated into the SPPP and MSWMP. 8. Deliverables: For the scope of services delineated above the Township requires the following deliverables: e Outfall Pipe Map in PDF; GIS geodata containing catch basins and outfall data collected; Inspection reports including data, photos and report; TMDL written recommendations; Municipal Stormwater Management Plan in PDF and Word format; CME will submit two (2) paper copies of the deliverables along with electronic version of all

and report; TMDL written recommendations; Municipal Stormwater Management Plan in PDF and Word format; CME will submit two (2) paper copies of the deliverables along with electronic version of all documents. The following cost of services is for professional services for the complete scope of the work for providing deliverables such as maps, GIS format files, reports as indicated in the deliverables section of this proposal. Also attached herein are Hourly Rates for any additional work. 3|Page
