Good morning Nick,
Response from Horsley Wi en Group:
1. Applicant should update the details for the Bio-reten on area to add a 3 inch layer of mulch in both Bio-
reten on areas per Mass Stormwater Handbook Vol2 Ch2.
We no longer recommend using mulch in the bioreten on areas due to issues caused with floa ng and clogging and
typically use a denser plan ng approach. This is standard prac ce for most bioreten on designs these days.
2. From the same sec on of the handbook all underdrains should be set in a minimum of 8” of gravel.
We are looking into the gravel and will get back to you on this one. Our plans show 6”
3. Applicant should confirm there is a minimum of 2 of separa on to the ESHGW in all stormwater infiltra on
BMPs.
We meet the 2’ of separa on and I we will confirm and add this informa on the bioreten on details.

Good morning all,
The DPW has completed a review of the Stormwater Analysis for the Armstrong Kelley Park project and
have generated the following comments.
1. Applicant should update the details for the Bio-retention area to add a 3 inch layer of mulch in
both Bio-retention areas per Mass Stormwater Handbook Vol2 Ch2. From the same section of the
handbook all underdrains should be set in a minimum of 8” of gravel.
2. Applicant should confirm there is a minimum of 2ft of separation to the ESHGW in all stormwater
infiltration BMPs.
Please let us know if you have any follow up questions.
Thank you,
