With this potential threat to all ash trees in Fort Collins the transplanting a small ash tree generally would not be advised.

Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Jesse Schlam, 970-218-2932, jschlam@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 01/28/2015 01/28/2015: Section A.7 of Appendix C - "washing out concrete trucks" silt fence and straw wattles are not acceptable BMPs to prevent the pollutants associated with concrete washout, choose better BMP. Response: Straw wattles have been removed from the erosion control plan. Concrete washout will not be allowed within the construction site. Section B.2.E - "Waterline, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer will be covered and placed on the pallets". Are these the utility infrastructure? Or the stuff in the ground please clarify. Response: The majority of these materials will consist of water and sanitary sewer piping associated with Phase One. Phase Two includes a small amount of water and sanitary sewer service piping. Section B.2.J - If concrete work is to occur on a site then yes a BMP needs to be used to keep concrete and other trades men from washing in the curbline. Response: Phase One does not include any concrete placement. Phase Two includes concrete placement work for the foundations and hardscape typical for construction of a single-family home, which is often accomplished without an on-site washout area. Concrete washout will not be allowed on-site or adjacent to the site. Section B.2.N - "If sanitary facilities are located on paved surfaces, a secondary containment BMP will need to be constructed". If facilities are on hard surfaces something needs to be in place to prevent them from tipping. Detail EC4 on page C10 has shown to cause flooding issues in higher flow conditions. Please design for overflow in case of increased water to that inlet. Response: The sanitary facility will be located within the project site, off paved or hard surfaces. Please show calculation verifying that the site escrow is $1500. If you need clarification concerning this section, or if there are any questions please contact Jesse Schlam 970-218-2932 or email @ jschlam@fcgov.com Response: A calculation has been included.
