June 3, 2009 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 3 Midland Park Engineer Michael DeSena of the Stantec engineering firm last week presented his plan to alleviate flooding in the Hill Street area to the Midland Park Council. The professional recommends the creation of a separate system for the area that serves Payne Avenue and East Chamberlain to alleviate the burden on the existing system. The flooding problems began after the East Chamberlain development was completed. At the time the former Dirk De Vries Nursery was developed, the new residences were connected to the existing system on Payne Avenue. This overtaxed the infrastructure and led to the flooding. DeSena said the cost of the remedy would be approximately $159,000, but could reach $175,000 if curb work is done as part of the project. “Based on the results of the existing drainage system, Stantec determined that modi- Engineer presents plan to alleviate Hill Street ﬂooding fications to the existing system can be made to alleviate the flooding conditions and increase the capacity of the drainage system. More specifically, additional inlets and pipe segments along both Cyphers Lane and Hill Street can be installed…Ultimately, the new pipe system will connect to the existing 24” RCP in Hill Street at the existing inlet located approximately 130 feet west of Cyphers Lane,” the engineering report states. The proposed system would include additional inlets and HDPE piping along Cyphers Lane northbound and the section of Hill Street east of Cyphers Lane. DeSena’s report assumed that “the existing drainage system components extending downstream of Hill Street can safely convey storm events up to and including the 15year storm from Hill Street to downstream reaches, con- tinuing to the system outfall at Goffle Brook. No additional drainage system modifications are required.” He also assumed the following: “The proposed drainage system inlet grade elevations, pipe lengths and inverts… will require modifications to avoid and/or minimize conflicts with utilities, such as water service lines, gas lines, sewer lines, etc. Said utility coordination is recommended during the project design phase.” The report states that the system in the Hill Street area consists of 15-inch RCP pipe at the end along East Payne (continued on page 19) Like the idea and philosophy behind acupuncture but are scared of needles?
