x Stormwater management standards, including nutrient <br />removal, as detailed in Section 6.14 of the UDO. <br />G. Will existing streams and water features have to be buffered? <br />APPLICANT: There are streams and other water features on the property <br />(shown on Sheets C3.0 and C3.1 of the Rezoning Plan) that are to be <br />buffered consistent with County regulations. These areas are slated for <br />preservation in designated open space areas within the project. <br />COUNTY STAFF: All water features are required to be buffered <br />consistent with Section 6.13 Stream Buffers of the UDO. The anticipated <br />buffer will be 65 ft. on each side of the stream bank. <br />H. I see the overhead power lines are being relocated. How will this impact property <br />owners to the north and west of the project? <br />APPLICANT: The overhead powerline relocation will remain within the <br />limits of the proposed development and is not anticipated to impact <br />adjacent property owners. <br />COUNTY STAFF: <br />I. I am concerned over ground water contamination fuel leaks/spills impacting <br />water quality and contaminating our groundwater. What steps are being taken to <br />address this potential issue and preserve/protect our well water? <br />APPLICANT: We follow all current design criteria required at the federal, <br />state, and local levels and are subject to plan review, construction <br />inspections, and final cover procedures required at all levels. To date, no <br />travel center fueling system has ever had a reportable release and we <br />work hard to maintain that standard. As an additional precaution not <br />required by code, the developer is committed to installing oil-water <br />separators as a part of the stormwater systems which are to be located in <br />close proximity to the fueling stations to intercept incidental hydrocarbons <br />gathered by stormwater runoff so that they can be collected and disposed <br />of appropriately. <br />COUNTY STAFF: <br />J. I am concerned over air quality. How are you going to address the venting of gas <br />tanks and comply with applicable air quality standards? <br />APPLICANT: We will comply with all federal, state and local regulatory <br />requirements. Exposure to gasoline vapors during vehicle refueling is <br />regulated on the macro scale by the federal government. All vehicles <br />manufactured today come equipped with a required Onboard Refueling <br />Vapor Recovery (ORVR) system which captures the vapors displaced <br />during refueling and keeps them within the vehicle. <br />COUNTY STAFF: <br />K. Where will fuel be stored? <br />80
