The western portion of the site is not in a protected <br /> watershed. <br /> OC17 is located on the north side of Eubanks Road, and is not in a protected watershed. <br /> 5. What implications do the watershed standards, particularly impervious surface ratios, <br /> have for the location and development of recycling center sites in the watersheds? <br /> Site acquisition costs are affected by the lot size required in order to comply with the <br /> applicable impervious surface limit and/or provide adequate area for BMPs. Site <br /> development costs are significantly increased if construction of a BMP is required. <br /> Assumptions: <br /> a. Recycling centers are not located outside of Critical Areas. <br /> b. Each recycling center uses one acre of impervious surface. <br /> Total Acreage Requirements: <br /> Upper Eno and Back Creek Watersheds <br /> 8.3 acres (without BMP) <br /> OR <br /> 1.4 acres minimum, plus additional area as needed for BMP. <br /> Little River. Flat River. South Hyco Creek. University Lake and Cane Creek Watersheds <br /> 1.4 acres (no BMP required) <br /> Hay{ River, Lower Eno.
