Twin Ponds Subdivision
Buck Road (County Route 553), Elk Township, Gloucester Co., NJ
JEA was retained by the property developer to provide site/civil engineering services associated with the subdivision of an existing 142 +/- acre agricultural farm property into 49 residential lots for single family, detached housing. Due to the presence of shallow groundwater and numerous environmentally sensitive areas across the site, the subdivision layout and design required an innovative and creative approach to minimize impact to wetlands, minimize fill requirements, and accommodate stormwater management design (to comply the N.J.D.E.P. Stormwater Management Rules (N.J.A.C. 7:8)) while creating a viable and aesthetic project. In addition to the lots, the project involved the design of approximately 0.9 miles of new roadway; storm-water collection and conveyance system, stormater management basins (consisting of three (3) wet ponds and an infiltration basin); design of water quality treatment and groundwater recharge compliance measures; County Roadway widening and creation of a left turn lane; replacement of existing County drainage culvert; extensive landscaping; street lighting; and emergency access lane extension. Additionally, the project required a Letter of Interpretation for verification of wetland delineation and a Statewide General Permits #10 & 11 from the N.J.D.E.P. For this project, JEA was responsible for completion and preparation of subdivision/site improvement/roadway improvement plans; soils testing/percolation testing for stormwater management; drainage/landscaping/lighting design; design of stormwater management system to comply with the N.J.D.E.P. Stormwater Management Rules (N.J.A.C. 7:8); Planning Board testimony; and land development approvals.
