The final subdivision plan for Phase II of the Ridgeview Estates Development located in Union Township and Ringtown Borough was prepared by Prodesign Plus, P.C. in October of 1997. Construction work began in the summer of 1998 with the final construction completion in the fall of 1999. Design work included the extension of the existing sanitary sewer, water system, and roadway. Our firm also prepared the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the discharge of storm water from the construction site.   Storm water management was a major concern in the development and was handled in a unique manner. The soils within the development were capable of supporting ground water recharge and would further serve as the best management practice in support of the environment. In order to be sensitive to the environment, and at the same time manage storm water discharge from the development, our firm designed storm water management infiltration trenches for roadway runoff and storm water infiltration pits for roof and driveway runoff. The infiltration systems were also designed to provide storm water detention and are capable of storing storm water for the 2-year through 100-year storm frequencies.
