[1] What is the current status of compliance with the previous Orders on the site?
[2] Plans should state which elevation datum is being used. The NOI narrative states all elevations are based on
NGVD29 but that should also be on the plans if not already there.
[3] The commission should review the filing fee. Each activity is its own fee.
[4]All stormwater BMP’s must be designed, constructed, operated and maintained per the Stormwater Handbook,
Volume 2, Chapter 2. The simplest thing to do is to cut and paste the relevant pages of the Handbook into the
Stormwater Report and use that to describe compliance.
[5] The MASTEP web site is no longer available for review of alternative BMPs. MassDEP suggests that a
comparable alternative resource that may be considered to demonstrate compliance with TSS removal may be
found at the following link: https://www.nj.gov/dep/stormwater/treatment.html
