Gilmore & Associates, Inc. won the Stormwater Best Management Practices Recognition Program Award for this project located on the west side of McFarlan Road about 2150 feet south of the intersection with East Baltimore Pike. The 11.58 Acre site is zoned BP Business District and was originally a single family residence with a farm house and several accessory use buildings. Also located on site were a small manmade pond and an unnamed tributary of the East Branch Red Clay Creek. The development consisted of the renovation and conversion of the main farm house to an office use and the phased construction of three new multi-floor office buildings, a parking structure, surface parking area and access driveway from McFarlan Road. Increases in the runoff from the proposed development are controlled by modifications to the existing pond incorporating forebays, construction of a small detention facility on the east side the site, and seven infiltration seepage trenches in the parking areas. Several modifications to the existing pond have been made to convert this manmade feature to a stormwater control facility. These include the addition of two forebays, regrading the area along the edge of the pond to provide a shallow shelf, reconstructing and raising the earthen berm, and the construction of a new outlet control structure and spillway. In addition, many landscape improvements have been installed to enhance the aesthetic value of the pond as well as its flood control features. Ken Hoffman in our Kennett Square office was also recognized for his Excellence and Merit for the outstanding contributions in serving as design professional on this project.
