Engineering summary

The reviewed permit action documents a dry-retention system and a historical stormwater design baseline for discharge to Crystal Lake. It supports reconstruction of the permitted design; it does not establish present-day capacity or current site conditions. Authorization, constructed geometry, common datum, groundwater, and downstream conditions remain to be confirmed.

Key engineering findings

  1. Permit lineage. P01 is the analyzed 2010 permit action and primary prior-design basis. The district index lists sequence 1 as Compliance P01-D04; current site relationship and authorization remain to be confirmed.
  2. Existing system. The sources describe a dry-retention pond, control weir, 15-in RCP, right-of-way drainage, and discharge toward Crystal Lake P01-D01, p.2 · P01-D03, p.2.
  3. Historical model baseline. The 55.57-hour recovery result and the recorded discharge/stage pairs are model-reconstruction benchmarks, not evidence of available capacity P01-D01, p.12.
  4. Elevation relationships. The recorded 100-year stage is 1.52 ft below the berm, and the pond bottom is 1.00 ft above recorded SHGWT. A common vertical datum was not resolved P01-D01, p.12 · P01-D01, p.35.

Prepared from public regulatory records. Calculated differences are arithmetic over cited inputs. This brief is record research, not a survey, regulatory determination, engineering design, or sealed work.

01 · Recorded design criteria

Recorded stormwater design basis

Record values and calculated differences are grouped by engineering function. References correspond to the linked source index on page 1 and the full register on page 4.

Water quality and recovery

ParameterRecorded criterionRecorded resultCalculated differenceSource
Water-quality volume0.042 ac-ft required0.043 ac-ft provided0.001 ac-ftP01-D01, p.5
P01-D01, p.12
Treatment recovery≤ 72 hours55.57 hours16.43 hours below maximum (22.8%)P01-D01, p.12
Engineering interpretation. Provided volume is essentially equal to the recorded requirement at the precision reported; this comparison does not establish available capacity. The recovery result is historical model performance and remains dependent on soils, groundwater, and constructed pond geometry.

Engineering interpretation. The 25-year / 24-hour pair has the smallest modeled reduction. All three pairs and peak stages are historical model-reconstruction benchmarks, not current discharge allowances or approval criteria.

Engineering assessment and required confirmations

Record-supported conclusions

  1. Permit lineage.P01 is the analyzed prior permit action and primary design-basis source set. The district index lists sequence 1 as Compliance P01-D04; current site relationship, authorization, and O&M responsibility remain to be confirmed.
  2. Existing system.The cited sources document the drainage path and principal facilities from site collection through Crystal Lake P01-D01, p.2 · P01-D03, p.2. They do not establish present condition or ownership.
  3. Historical model baseline.Recorded treatment, recovery, discharge, and stage results form a model-reconstruction baseline; they do not establish present performance or available capacity P01-D01, p.12.
  4. Current conditions.Constructed geometry, common datum, groundwater, and downstream boundary conditions remain unresolved. Recorded elevation relationships require reconciliation with current survey P01-D01, p.35.

Required confirmations

Open itemWhy it mattersResolution
Site relationship, authorization, and O&MThe district index lists sequence 1 as Compliance P01-D04; issued 15 Jun 2010 P01-D02, p.1; five-year construction term P01-D02, p.3; two-year inspection interval P01-D02, p.5. Current authorization and O&M responsibility remain unresolved.Confirm site/permit relationship, current agency file, O&M entity, and modification path.
As-built geometry and datumStorage, freeboard, and control relationships depend on constructed elevations.Obtain the completion/as-built record and reconcile it to a current datum-tied survey.
Soils, SHGWT, and recoveryRecovery performance depends on infiltration and groundwater conditions.Confirm current geotechnical and groundwater inputs before rerunning recovery.
Outfall and tailwaterThe record assumes a full right-of-way pipe and Elev. 50.00 ft tailwater.Inspect the receiving system and establish the current downstream boundary condition.
Baseline model reconstructionThe historical results are the only documented quantitative performance baseline.Reproduce treatment, recovery, discharge pairs, and stages before evaluating changes.

Basis and limitations. An analyst selected permit action P01 and reviewed the cited sources. Spatially intersecting records were excluded unless their relationship to the subject system was established. Calculated differences are arithmetic over cited inputs. This is not a title opinion, survey, regulatory determination, engineering design, or sealed work; the source file controls.
