1 Q B C. <br />Both the South Drange Rescue Squad and the white Cross <br />Volunteer Fire Department have indicated their ability to <br />serve the proposed development. The Sheriff's Department has <br />indicated that the development will result in an additional <br />12.3 manhours needed for responding to service calls. While <br />the Sheriff's Department will be able to handle such <br />service, the demand, combined with other developments, could <br />cause the need far additional manpower. <br />The Erosion Control officer has indicated that a starmwater <br />management plan is required for the project. Grading permits <br />will also be required prior to the start of construction.' <br />Comments from Orange Water & Sewer Authority are summarized <br />as follows: <br />1. Additional information should be provided to confirm <br />that the proposed wastewater disposal system is <br />properly designed and to assure its long-term relia- <br />bility. This information should include a detailed <br />site analysis to address soils which are only <br />'marginally" suitable, the depth of -the restrictive <br />horizon, soil permeability above the restrictive <br />horizon, and the extent of mounding that can be ex- <br />pected to occur. <br />2. OWASA recommends a lower hydraulic loading rate not <br />exceeding O.b75 gallons per square foot per day, and <br />lower pollutant loading rate to protect long term <br />ground and surface water quality. <br />3. Install a dual, alternating absorption field system and <br />provide an additional undisturbed reserve area in case <br />either system fails. <br />4. Provide adequate measures to prevent the accidental <br />discharge of wastewater from the proposed facilities <br />into surface and ground waters. <br />5. What is the impact of recreational uses of the area on ~. <br />the long-term suitability of the soil absorption area? <br />6. Establish appropriate monitoring of surface and ground- <br />water. OWASA also recommends that a detention pond be <br />built for stormwater runoff to further protect water _,_.. <br />quality. "~°' <br />7. The proposed system should be constructed and inspected <br />according to acceptable standards. Sewer and utility F.;. <br />easements should be reserved for construction and <br />maintenance of the system. ' =~ .=a` <br />°.~. - . <br />8.
