  • II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

  • PROJECT DESCRIPTION

    The Pocono/Jackson Joint Water Authority with support from the United

    States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is proposing the

    installation of a water supply system to service forty-nine single family

    residential dwellings in Pocono and Jackson Townships, Monroe County,

    Pennsylvania. The private potable wells of these dwellings have been

    contaminated by TCE from the nearby Butz landfill, which is currently an

    USEPA designated Superfund site. Thus, their drinking water supply is

    derived from water bottles, provided by the USEPA. Wash water is still

    derived from private wells.

    The USEPA does not currently have plans to clean-up the Butz landfill.

    However, to insure the health and safety of the residents affected by the

    contaminated groundwater plume of this landfill, the USEPA is financing a

    public water supply system to service the local resident population.

    The major components of this water supply system includes the installation

    of three wells, a well house and water tank; the construction of a service

    roadway from Rinker Road to the well site so that operations and

    maintenance may occur; and the installation of a water distribution

    system. These elements are depicted on the attached US6S 7.5' Topographic

    Quadrangle for Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania (Section IV).

    The construction of the access road from Rinker Road to the well site

    will require crossing freshwater forested wetlands, regulate^ f^M ttig r p n

  • Bureau, as well as the United States Army Corps of Engineers. An

    estimated 10.000 squire feet of wetlands will be filled to support the^ ^̂ ^̂ ^̂ ^̂ ^̂ ^̂ ""————̂ ^̂ ^̂ ^̂ ^̂ ^̂ B̂̂ ^̂ » .

    roadway. These wetlands are characterized by a dominance of red maple,with shagback hickory, N. red oak, and quaking aspen. Interspread wassensitive fern, sphagnum moss and sedge species, The area, mapped as

    wetlands was also inundated with surface water at the time of of our

    evaluation. Soil sampling could not be performed in this area because

    bedrock was at or within inches of the surface.1

    An approximate 4000 linear foot portion of the water distribution system

    that closely parallels the PP & L Utility right-of-way also supports

    fragmented wetlands. While the installation of the system could be

    processed under General Permit #2 for utility installation, we are Seeking

    approval of this activity under the Individual Stream Encroachment Permit

    Process. The majority of the wetlands within the PP & L right-of-way are

    emergent wetlands created from seeps and depressions with the right-of-way

    access aisle. !i i

    i

    While the USEPA will finance the installation of the water supply system

    it must be understood by the regulatory agencies that the costs for

    operations and maintenance of this system will be the full responsibility

    of the forty-nine residential users. Therefore, we request that reviewers

    look at economic considerations when evaluating the alternatives. ]

  • III. ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS

  • ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS !————.————— I . .«. ..!.!•.•!.•...•! HI III HIM I. II «l. [

    . - j

    1 i

    I ^

    While assessing the alternatives for a project of this nature, one jnay

    automatically assume that there are a multitude of alternatives that could!

    be considered whereby there would be no impact to wetlands. However, this

    is simply not the case when considering the scenario described within the

    project description. So following are some basin assumptions as td why- . - ' i

    the well site and road location is located where it is. jit

    1. Foremost is economics. Given the low residential densities for thisii

    region, it is definitely not cost effective to service forty-nine

    single-family dwellings, given the extensive service area and theI

    cost of infrastructir. Because these forty-nine residences will have

    to bear the full cost and responsibility for the operations and

    maintenance of this facility, it is even more of a economic hardship

    to the residents. Consequently, in fairness to the residents, the

    well locations cannot be too far removed.

    I2. Consideration must be given to direction in which the contaminated.

    ground water plume is moving. The USEPA has no current plans ito

    clean the Butz landfill of its contaminants, so siting the wells

    downslope from the landfill could result in the future contamination

    of the new wells.

    ARI00622

  • 3. Consideration must be given to the topography of this area.

    Situating the wells in an area with significantly higher elevations

    will result in higher pressures on the water system, therebynecessitating special equipment to compensate for this abnormality.

    By the same token, siting the wells in an area with lower elevations

    than the service area will result in lower pressures and the need for

    booster pumps. Given the residences using this system will

    ultimately be responsible for the cost of maintenance and operations,

    these extra design constraints were kept to a minimum.

    4. Studies had to be performed on the yield a well could provide in

    order to adequately service the region. After numerous candidate

    site evaluations, five locations were selected due to the ability to

    provide 60 gmp or greater. Of these five sites, four were discarded

    because of site constraints such as steep slopes, conflict with the

    PP & L Utility right-of-way, proximity to the Butz landfill,

    elevation conflicts, and excessive access road lengths.

    5. -Given the limited road system for the region, and the direction, the

    contaminated groundwater plume is headed, there are just limited

    possibilities for locating the well site. It is just not possible to

    install roads to any random location that supports uplands and this

    is part of the problem. Because the more desirable access routes are

    those with flatter slopes, they are also more prone to support

    wetlands. Thus, we are put in the position of having to develop the

    more extreme landscape in order to preserve the wetlands/JR | f) f] p: o Q

  • 6. Given the above considerations, our alternatives were limited to ouri

    proposed site and the adjacent property to the east. We selectedthis site because the adjacent property owners were not willing to

    i

    enter into an agreement with the water company to provide the[well• ' i

    sites and the access road. This alternative also greatly benefits

    this project landowners which utilize the property as a camp. Under

    the existing conditions, Rinker Road separates the children's camp

    into two sections. Since various functions require the sections tocross Rinker Road, there is a concern about safety of the children.

    If this access road is approved, the Township will incorporate this

    road as a by-pass to the camp thereby allowing that portion of Rinker

    Road which intersects the camp to be vacated. 'i

    i

    Also, given the number of seeps which extend off the slopes adjacentto Rinker Road, it is practically impossible to construct a road

    iwithout some wetlands involvement.

  • VI. STORMWATER CALCULATIONS

    fiRiQ063l*

  • INTRODUCTION

    The enclosed calculations and USGS quad map show that the drainage area is

    approximately 50 acres. The rational method (Q=CiA) was used to estimate

    the runoff during a storm with a 10-year recurrence interval. The

    rainfall intensity was determined using data for the Philadelphia area.

    This approach is conservative since the 10-year, 24-hour rainfall for

    Monroe County is less than that for Philadelphia County (4.8 inches vs.

    5.0 inches). The time of concentration (approximately 40 minutes) was

    estimated using SCS method.

    In designing the roadside swales, the culverts were placed in locations

    which would maintain existing drainage patterns. Culverts larger than

    15-inch are not warranted as the access road is a private driveway and it

    does not matter if water flows over the surface. Also, the existing 12-

    and 15- inch culverts on Rinker Road are not capable of accommodating the

    existing runoff of 65.8 cfs. These culverts are not included in this

    project as they are not on the Authority's property.

  • VII. SOIL EROSION CONTROL PLAN

    ARI0066I

  • NORTH ROAD WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM \l

    EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PLAN NARRATIVE

    GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION

    The project involves the construction of a community water supply anddistribution system for residents in portions of Pocono and JacksonTownships whose wells have been contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE).The area to be served by the system is delineated on the enclosed U.S.G.S.Quad Map. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) hasbeen involved at the North Road Site since July, 1986. Construction ofthe Water System is being funded by the USEPA, but the operation of thesystem will be the responsibility of the Pocono/Jackspn Joint WaterAuthority.

    The water supply portion of the project involves ' the drilling andcompletion of three (3) water supply wells, the construction of a 75,000gallon welded steel water storage tank, the construction ofja 12 foot x 24foot brick and masonry well house (for electrical and meteiring equipment)and the construction of an 800 foot long, 15 foot wide crushed stoneaccess road within a 50 foot wide corridor between Rinker Road and thewell site. The above facilities and access road will be situated on a3.50 acre site adjacent to Big Pocono State Park and Camp Cherith in thePoconos. The site will be purchased by the Water Authority/EPA.

    The water distribution portion of the project involves the installation ofductile iron water mains and house service connections. Approximately4,100 feet of pipe, between the well site and North Road will be located

    I within the Pennsylvania Power & Light (PP&L) Company's rigtyt-of-way. The1 50 foot wide water line right-of-way will involve approximately 4.7 acres.

    The remainder of the water lines in the service area yill be locatedi within the paved portions or shoulders of township and private roads.

    i

    It is anticipated that work will begin in the Spring of 1990j

    "~* SOIL TYPES

    The Soil Survey- of Monroe. County Pennsylvania (August 1981) indicatesseveral different soil classifications. Soils encountered jalong the PP&Lright-of-way include: WmB (Wellsboro channery loam 3 to 8 percent slopes),OxC (Oquaga-Lackawanna extremely stony loams, 8 to 25 percent slopes), WpB(Wellsboro extremely stony loam, 0 to 8 percent! slopes), OkC(Oquaga-Lackawanna channery loams, 8 to 15 percent | slopes), LyE(Lordstown-Qquaga extremely stony soils 25 to 75 percent percent slopes).Soils encountered along the access road include MoC (Morris extremelystony silt loam, 8 to 20 percent slopes) while soils at the well siteinclude: MoC, OkC, OxC, WpC (Wellsboro extremely stony loam, 8 to 25percent slopes). !

    ARI110662

  • Soil borings drilled to 19 feet at the tank site and well houserevealed soil that was reddish brown, clayey silty sand with rofragments.

    EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL MEASURES

    The ground surface through the well site and access road is covered withtrees while the PP&L right-of-way is covered with native grasses and smallbrush. Prior to starting any earthmoving activities, the Contractor willinstall all control measures. The proposed control measures will consistof sediment barriers for filtering sediment from stormwater runoff. Thelocation of the barrier shall be as delineated or specified on theenclosed drawings.
