Hi Alexia,
I've reviewed the latest construction plan submittal for The Seasons and I wanted to provide an update regarding the
curbing. Initially, the vegetated swales that run along the perimeter of the site were proposed as BMPs. To provide a water
quality benefit Vegetated Swale BMPs are designed differently than traditional V-notch swales. The latest submittal shows
these swales as traditions swales, not BIVIP swales. Although it could be argued that vegetated swales provide more of a water
quality benefit than directly discharging to the storm system, they do not qualify as BMPs per the Storm Water Technical
Standards Manual. Therefore, the water quality treatment train does not rely on removing curb to facilitate sheet flow to non-
BMP vegetated swales. If they can redesign the swales as BMPs, then I would have no issue with the curbing variance.
Sincerely,
John Thomas, CPESC, CMS4S
