The proposed development will be serviced by public sanitary sewer. The application proposes to connect to an existing sanitary sewer manhole located on Block 21301, Lot 10.01 in Jackson Township located across South Hope Chapel Road from the proposed development. There is an existing commercial shopping center located on that parcel. It has not been demonstrated that there currently is adequate sanitary sewer capacity in Jackson Township to accommodate the proposed development.

Stormwater Management – Volume (N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.84(a)6iv(1))

The Township land use ordinance and the CMP require that any proposed development retain and infiltrate the total runoff volume generated from the net increase in impervious surfaces by a 10-year, 24-hour storm. The submitted stormwater management report demonstrates that this volume requirement will not be met below the lowest outfall elevation within the proposed subsurface infiltration basin. To be consistent, a total volume of 13,006 cubic feet of stormwater runoff must be retained and infiltrated below the lowest orifice elevation in OCS-A.

Stormwater Management - Total Nitrogen reduction (N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.84(a)6iv(6))

The Township land use ordinance and the CMP require that stormwater management measures be designed to achieve a minimum of 65 percent reduction of the post-development total nitrogen load from the developed site, including those permanent lawn or turf areas that are specifically intended for active human use, in stormwater runoff generated from the water quality design storm. The development has not been designed to meet this standard because the submitted information does not consider sidewalks when calculating to meet this standard and incorrectly applies a reduction in nitrogen for the landscaped areas.

Stormwater Management – Soil permeability (N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.84(a)6v(2))

The Township land use ordinance and the CMP require that stormwater infiltration facilities be sited in suitable soils verified by field testing to have permeability rates between one and twenty inches per hour. The submitted information indicates that the proposed subsurface infiltration basin will be located in soils having a permeability rate of twenty inches per hour, which is a “K5” soil. This permeability rate is not between one and twenty inches per hour.

The applicant should address how these inconsistencies are to be addressed.

2. Utilities – The drawings indicate that the site will be serviced by public water and sewer facilities within South Hope Chapel Road. Any approval which the Board may grant, would be conditioned upon review and approval by the Jackson Township MUA.

3. Site Utilization and Proposed Operations – The applicant supplied Statement of Operations is attached to this engineering report. Supplementing any specific concerns the Board may have, the applicant should be prepared to address:

• a.Estimated number of employees.
• b.The nature and extent of any outdoor storage proposals.
• c.Days and hours of operation.
• d.Anticipated deliveries and pick-ups.
