Is the project/development within existing municipal service areas?
Considering the water needs of the proposed project, if a private well will be used, is the water considered potable (safe)?
Will the water supply require on-site treatment, such as iron removal?
Are there nearby sources of potential water contamination?
Are there underground storage tanks in proximity of the proposed project?
Are there gasoline or oil pipelines in proximity of the proposed project?
Is there a nearby known source of contaminated soil?
Is site located within a wellhead protection zone?
Are there abandoned wells on the site?
Are there any wetlands on the site? If YES what is/are the size(s) of the wetland(s)?
Is the project located in a known floodplain?
Will the project create bodies (e.g., detention ponds) of water that might provide habitat for mosquitoes, other pests, or disease vectors?
Has the developer submitted a plan based on best management practices for managing water and soil erosion during construction?
Will the proposed project affect groundwater recharge?
Does the project have a substantial percentage of the parcel covered by impervious surfaces (e.g. building roof, parking lot, driveways)? Does the project affect the overall percentage of impervious surfaces in the watershed or allowed by local community?
Water requirements and source - To ensure that safe water is provided for all residents. To ensure that development does not outstrip capacity in existing capital facilities (both water and sewer).
