Property Description:
Lot Area: 15.30 acres (666,507 sf+/-)
Parcel Improvements: The site is to be developed with a cluster subdivision which will contain (14)
residential lots and an Open Space lot. Each residential lot will be developed with
a (4) bedroom dwelling, for a total of (56) bedrooms.
Wetlands: The parcel is abutted by a vegetated wetland at its Southwest corner. However,
the wetland is greater than 250’ from the closest area of the parcel that is
proposed for development. The wetland is on the far side of the 150’ electrical
easement and is not within the same watershed as any of the developed portion
of the parcel.
Soils: The NRCS Soil Survey places the parcel within the soil unit 252C Soil, Carver
Coarse Sand, 8 to 15 percent. Medium to coarse sands were found in all
preliminary test holes conducted on the site.
Groundwater: The USGS Cape Cod Groundwater Map places groundwater at approximately
elevation 8. With the parcel’s topography ranging from EL=72 at the hilltop to
EL=28 at the low point near the West property line, the depth to groundwater to
range from 20 to 64 feet below the existing grade. Perched groundwater was
found at the bottom of test holes conducted within low areas. Maximum
elevation of perched water found at EL=23.
Zone II: The parcel is not located within a Zone II Groundwater Recharge mapped area.
Topography: The topography is hilly with a high point toward the back of the lot and the front
portion of the lot sloping down toward Route 6A.
Site Conditions: The existing lot is vacant woodlands directly adjacent to Route 6A.

Stormwater System Description:
The proposed post-development stormwater management plan consists of: Two main stormwater
systems (M1 and M2) that address the roadway, driveway, road shoulder and swale areas; Five secondary
stormwater systems (S1-S5) that address driveway and front yard areas, and a system of drywells to
handle roof runoff from the 14 proposed dwellings (M3).
The roadway will use Cape Cod berms to control and pitch stormwater toward a network of offline catch
basins (9 total). The catch basins then flow into centralized conveyance systems of pipe and manholes
that connect to a proprietary pre-treatment device (CDS 2015-4 by Contech) before outletting into water
quality swales. Any overflow from the swales is then routed into subsurface leaching galleys. Landscaped
areas and driveways are graded to direct stormwater runoff into a series of smaller dry water quality
swales. Each of the swales is surrounded by vegetated strips that provide pre-treatment for some
driveway runoff. Roof runoff will be directed into subsurface leaching facilities. Please see the Existing and
Proposed Stormwater Contributory Area Plans for delineations of the site’s contributory areas.
As shown in the HydroCAD Modeling report, the proposed stormwater controls will reduce the site-wide
peak discharge rate for the 2, 10, 25 and 100 year storms. The Post-Development 100-year Storm Peak
Discharge Rate relative to Pre-Development conditions has decreased from 4.41 CFS to 1.52 CFS. Table 1
provides a comparison of the site-wide Pre- to Post-Development peak discharge rate for each storm
event.

*S1-S5 are secondary stormwater systems. S6 is all non-recharge areas such as Open Space and backyards.
For HydroCAD modeling analysis of the stormwater systems, the following methods and assumptions
were used:
• Simple Dynamic
• Rawls Rate of 8.27 in/hr for sands within the subsoil layers for subsurface leaching galleys.
• Rawls Rate of 2.41 in/hr for the loamy sands in the upper soil layers for dry water quality
swales.
• Exfiltration has been assumed to occur along horizontal surface area of bottoms only,
sidewalls/slope have been excluded per MA Stormwater Handbook requirements.

Stormwater Management by Contributory Area:
There were six existing subcatchment areas identified and labeled on the ‘Existing Stormwater
Contributory Area Plan’. Each of those subcatchments is described below:
Subcatchment Area #1 (100,376 SF) is in the northwest portion of the lot, with a discharge point close to
the western property line. The abutting properties to the west generally slope upward from the western
property line, so some stormwater from adjacent properties flows to the discharge point as well.
• The subcatchment includes proposed Open Space area, including a portion of the M1 drainage
easement.
• The subcatchment also includes portions of Lots 7- 9, 11 and 12.
• Proposed swales S1 and S2 will attenuate and treat driveway runoff from Lots 8, 9 and 12 within
the subcatchment, along with overland flow from landscaped and natural areas. Vegetated strip
areas in between the driveways and swale will provide pre-treatment prior to the swale, except
in the driveway areas that are less than 25 feet from the swales.
• The M1 drainage easement area will be graded to direct runoff into the M1 swale instead of the
discharge point. Excess stormwater from the M1 swale will discharge into the M1 subsurface
leaching facility.
• All roof runoff within the subcatchment will be discharged into subsurface leaching facilities.
• The existing discharge point and surrounding low area will remain undisturbed Open Space,
allowing it’s continued use as a discharge point for surrounding backyard lawn, landscaped and
natural areas.
Subcatchment Area #2 (30,064 SF) is in the interior of the northern portion of the lot, with the discharge
point centered in the low area.
• The subcatchment includes a portion of Miracle Way’s road layout.
• The subcatchment also includes portions of Lots 7-10.
• The proposed regrading of the lot will eliminate the interior discharge point. Driveway runoff
will be pitched toward swales S1 and S3, along with all other overland flow. Vegetated strip
areas in between the driveways and swale will provide pre-treatment prior to the swale, except
in the driveway areas that are less than 25 feet from the swales.
• All roof runoff within the subcatchment will be discharged into subsurface leaching facilities.
• The portion of the subcatchment within the roadway itself will be directed into the M1
stormwater system.
Subcatchment Area #3 (230,874 SF) is the land north of the power line easement in the southwest
portion of the lot, with a discharge point within a low area close to the western property line. The
abutting properties to the west generally slope upward from the western property line, so some
stormwater runoff from adjacent properties flows to the discharge point as well.
• The subcatchment includes proposed Open Space area, including the M2 drainage easement.
• The subcatchment also includes portions of Faith Road and Miracle Way.
• The subcatchment also includes portions of Lots 5-6 and 10-14.

DAVENPORT CLUSTER SUBDIVISION - MIRACLE WAY & FAITH ROAD STORMWATER MANAGEMENT REPORT
ASSESSORS’ MAP 125, PARCEL 39, ROUTE 6A, YARMOUTH, MA JUNE 6, 2023
• Proposed swale S3 will attenuate and treat driveway runoff from Lots 9-13 within the
subcatchment, along with overland flow from landscaped and natural areas. Vegetated strip
areas in between the driveways and swale will provide pre-treatment prior to the swale, except
in the driveway areas that are less than 25 feet from the swales.
• The M2 drainage easement area will be graded to contain the M2 swale, creating a low point
that will attenuate and treat driveway runoff from Lots 5-6 within the subcatchment, along with
overland flow from landscaped and natural areas. Vegetated strip areas in between the
driveways and swale will provide pre-treatment prior to the swale, except in the driveway areas
that are less than 25 feet from the swales. Excess stormwater from the M2 swale will discharge
into the M2 subsurface leaching facility.
• All roof runoff within the subcatchment will be discharged into subsurface leaching facilities.
• The existing discharge point will remain a low point, with proposed swale S3 constructed in the
current low point location. Due to the grading and stormwater controls proposed within the
subcatchment, runoff into the S3 swale will be reduced. The area will continue to be used as a
discharge point for surrounding backyard lawn, landscaped and natural areas.
Subcatchment Area #4 (115,350 SF) is the land north of the power line easement in the southeast
portion of the lot, with a discharge point at the eastern property line. The abutting properties to the
east generally slope downward from the eastern property line, so there is no additional stormwater flow
from adjacent properties to the discharge point.
• The subcatchment includes proposed Open Space area.
• The subcatchment also includes portions of Faith Road and Miracle Way.
• The subcatchment also includes portions of Lots 2-6 and 10.
• Proposed swales S4 and S5 will attenuate and treat driveway runoff from Lots 3-4 within the
subcatchment, along with overland flow from landscaped and natural areas. Vegetated strip
areas in between the driveways and swale will provide pre-treatment prior to the swale, except
in the driveway areas that are less than 25 feet from the swales.
• Driveway areas and surrounding landscaped areas on Lots 2, 5 and 6 have been graded to be
part of the M2 stormwater system’s watershed area.
• All roof runoff within the subcatchment will be discharged into subsurface leaching facilities.
• Due to the grading and stormwater controls proposed within the subcatchment, runoff to the
discharge point will be reduced. The area will continue to be used as a discharge point for
surrounding backyard lawn, landscaped and natural areas.
Subcatchment Area #5 (19,999 SF) is land along the eastern portion of the lot, with a discharge point at
the eastern property line. The abutting properties to the east generally slope downward from the
eastern property line, so there is minimal additional stormwater flow from adjacent properties to the
discharge point.
• The subcatchment includes proposed Open Space area.
• The subcatchment also includes portions of Lots 1 and 2.
• Most of the driveway area and surrounding landscaped areas on Lots 1 and 2 have been graded
to be part of the M2 stormwater system’s watershed area. A small portion of Lot 2’s driveway

pitches toward the rear of the property, eventually reaching the discharge point after flowing
across vegetated landscaped and natural areas.
• All roof runoff within the subcatchment will be discharged into subsurface leaching facilities.
• Due to the grading proposed within the subcatchment, runoff to the discharge point will be
reduced. The area will continue to be used as a discharge point for surrounding backyard lawn,
landscaped and natural areas.
Subcatchment Area #6 (24,480 SF) is in the northeast portion of the lot, with a discharge point at the
Route 6A catch basin at the base of the subcatchment. The abutting properties to the east generally
slope upward from the eastern property line, so some stormwater from adjacent properties flows to the
discharge point as well.
• The subcatchment includes proposed Open Space area, including a portion of the M1 drainage
easement.
• The subcatchment also includes portions of Miracle Way.
• The subcatchment also includes portions of Lots 1, 2 and 7.
• The subcatchment area has been graded to be part of the M1 stormwater system’s watershed
area, instead of Route 6A’s stormwater systems.
• The M1 drainage easement area will be graded to direct surrounding runoff into the M1 swale
instead of the discharge point. Excess stormwater from the M1 swale will discharge into the M1
subsurface leaching facility.
• Existing stormwater runoff from the project site into the Route 6A catch basin will be prevented
by the proposed grading and stormwater controls.

Massachusetts Stormwater Management Design Standards:
The following is a description of how the proposed project meets the Massachusetts Stormwater
Handbook design standards.
Standard 1: No new untreated discharges:
This standard is met since there are no new untreated stormwater discharges proposed. See Standards 4-
6 calculations.
Standard 2: Maintain Pre-development peak discharge rate:
This standard has been met. As shown in the HydroCAD Modeling report, the proposed stormwater
controls will reduce the site-wide peak discharge rate for the 2, 10, 25 and 100 year storms. The Post-
Development 100-year Storm Peak Discharge Rate relative to Pre-Development conditions has decreased
from 4.41 CFS to 1.52 CFS.
Standard 3: Groundwater Recharge:
This standard is met. The proposed stormwater management systems are sized so that the total recharge
volume provided exceeds the minimum groundwater recharge volume specified in the handbook and the
proposed stormwater recharge galleys will drawdown within 72 hours of a storm event. In accordance
with the MA Stormwater Manual, the required recharge volume factor (F) required across the impervious
area (A) is 0.6 inches per hour for hydraulic soil group A soils. Coarse Sand (Rawls Rate: 8.27 inches per
hour) has been used in the sizing of the stormwater recharge galleys. Refer to the HydroCAD Stormwater
Modeling Report in Appendix. The required recharge volume is calculated based on the total pavement
and roof areas on site.
• Required Recharge Volume Rv = F x A = (0.6 in)(1 ft/12 in)(73,698 sf) = 3,685 cf (pavement and roofs)
• Recharge Storage Provided (Subsurface leaching facilities) = 12,415 cf > 3,685 cf
• The drawdown for the subsurface leaching facilities for the driveway/parking system and roof runoff
is 24 hours < 72 hour maximum allowance.
Standard 4: Water Quality:
This standard has been met. The roof runoff stormwater system will remove 80% of the annual load of
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) via subsurface leaching facilities. Site-wide, stormwater controls for all non-
roof runoff will provide 74.8% cumulative Pre-Treatment TSS Removal, and 90.7% cumulative Treatment
TSS Removal. See Tables 2 and 3 below. TSS removal calculation tables for roadway and roof runoff are
included in the Appendix. In accordance with the MA Stormwater Manual, the required water quality
depth (Dwq) across the impervious area (A) is 1.0 inches per hour in areas containing soils with rapid
infiltration rate greater than 2.4 in/hr. The required water quality volume is based on the total pavement
area on site.
• Required Water Quality Volume Vwq = Dwq x A = (1.0 in)(1 ft/12 in)(55,666 sf) = 4,639 cf (pavement)
• Water Quality Storage Provided (Dry water quality swales M1 & M2) = 5,542 cf > 4,639 cf

Town of Yarmouth Stormwater Management Regulations Performance Standards:
The following is a description of how the proposed project meets the Performance Standards of the
Town of Yarmouth Conservation Commission’s Stormwater Management Regulations (Section 2.05).
(1)
Low Impact Development (LID) site planning and design strategies must be implemented unless
infeasible in order to reduce the discharge of stormwater from development sites. Reduce the amount
of runoff over paved surfaces through the implementation of LID techniques, such as infiltrating roof
runoff at the source, planting large canopy trees over impervious areas to intercept rainfall, use of
porous paving materials, etc. where feasible. The applicant must document in writing why LID
strategies are not appropriate when not used to manage stormwater.
Project proposes no disturbance to any Wetland Resource Areas. Project is a Clustered Subdivision
per Yarmouth Zoning bylaws Section 402, providing significant Open Space and limiting impervious
surface area required for the developed portion of the site. Project proposes dry water quality
swales which will be vegetated with Conservation approved seed mix and native shrub plantings,
see ‘C9 Landscape Plan’.
(2)
Good housekeeping procedures shall be used to reduce sources of sediment, phosphorus, nitrogen
and other contaminants in stormwater runoff. These shall be documented in the Operation and
Maintenance Plan.
See the following sections of this report:
• ‘Erosion Control Plan’
• ‘Schedule of Inspection and Maintenance of Stormwater Management Systems’
• ‘Schedule of Vegetation Control for Roadway, Driveway and Sight Easement Areas’
• ‘Long-term Lawn Care and Pollution Prevention Plan’
• ‘Emergency Spill Cleanup Plan’
(3)
Stormwater management systems design shall be consistent with, or more stringent than, the
requirements of the 2008 Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook (as amended) with the following
additional requirements:
(a) Post-development peak discharge rates do not exceed pre-development peak discharge
rates for the 2, 10, 25, 50 and 100-year 24-hour storms. The 50-year post-development
stormwater volume shall be retained onsite through design of the stormwater management
system to the maximum extent practicable. The 100-year post-development stormwater
volume shall be controlled onsite with no offsite discharge to the maximum extent
practicable. This Standard may be waived for discharges to land subject to coastal storm

evaluation tool provided by EPA Region 1 where available. If EPA Region 1 tools do not address the
planned or installed BMP performance any federally or State approved BMP design guidance or
performance standards (e.g. State stormwater handbooks and design guidance manuals) may be
used to calculate BMP performance.
