NCDENR accordingly to include the water service load that the building will add to the existing well system. 3.1.11 Fire Protection - per a meeting with Jason Shepherd, the Orange County Fire Marshall, and follow -up correspondence with Chief Mike Tapp of the New Hope Fire Department, there is currently appropriate water supplies via utilizing nearby water points at ponds located on Blackwood Mountain Road and at Cornerstone Drive to accommodate fire response requirements for the existing school campus. As the school develops, there is no guarantee that additional supply and capacity needs will not require supplemental water supply from a municipal sources. This requirement and subsequent design of utilities (if necessary) will be provided at the individual site plan approval process. 3.1.12 Police /EMS — The school is currently served by, and will continue to be served by, the Orange County Sheriff's Department and Orange County EMS. 3.1.13 Solid Waste - Existing collection of garbage and recyclables generated by the school is currently handled by private contractor. The school composts organic wastes where practicable. Waste areas have been shown on the revised plans. 3.1.14 Storm Water Control — It is anticipated that the respective review departments associated with Stormwater Control will request site specific treatment options, locations, that will be tracked on an overall map so as to ensure that all disturbances and impervious areas are adequately tracked and treated. Protective measures will ensure that collection and treatment of storm water runoff created or altered by future phases will not adversely affect the campus or neighboring properties or public storm drainage systems. Provisions will be made for construction of stormwater collection measures (SCM) including low impact design, grading, gutters, ditches, piping and the use of disconnected impervious surfaces to maximize stormwater infiltration on site as well as direct storm water to on -site SCMs. Surface water on all paved areas will be collected at intervals that do not obstruct vehicular or pedestrian traffic. 3.1.15 Erosion Control - It is understood that land clearing and disturbance in excess of 20,000 sf associated with future buildings or site improvements cannot commence without a formal erosion and sedimentation control plan reviewed and approved by the County. All future construction will be thoughtfully planned, whether subject to County review or not, so as to preserve existing vegetation and land forms to the greatest extent possible. 3.1.16 Exterior Lighting — Due to the specificity required to produce lighting plans, the applicant would like to commit to at a minimum meeting the Orange County UDO standards for such lighting. The applicant would respectfully request that the county staff assess the need for lighting on a site by site basis upon the individual submittals of all proposed future buildings. Lighting will be pedestrian scale along walkways as previously noted. Fixture design will be complementary to building architecture and will feature sustainable finishes to the greatest extent possible. The school does not anticipate providing ball field lighting for the existing play field across Millhouse Road from the main campus.
