First, satisfy <br />the Lower Ru <br />project proposes to capture the first one (1) inch of rainfall from the site with an underground cistern. <br />However, since the project site is within a 10-year capture zone of one of the community wells where <br />infiltration is not permitted, the captured runoff will be used for irrigation purposes onsite. The second <br />BMP proposed is the use of a tree trench. This essentially is a lined trench that will also be used to <br />store stormwater runoff for uptake by trees and other vegetation. Both BMPs have overflow <br />measures built in that allow runoff from larger events to be routed through to the existing stormwater <br />sewer system. <br /> <br />The Environmental Policy Board (EPB) reviewed the Landscape Plan and BMPs on March 30, <br />2015 and not only recommended approval contingent on compliance with the above listed <br />items. Additionally, the EPB was very pleased and supportive of the BMPs that are being <br />proposed as part of this project. The EPB hopes that this might serve as a pilot project of sorts <br />in which it could be replicated with future development projects. <br /> <br /> <br />
