TIME OF CONCENTRATION (Tc) is the amount of time necessary for a drop of rainfall on the farthest portion of the site to travel to the nearest inlet to the minor (piped) system. To calculate time of concentration, site slope and surface roughness must be used to calculate travel time. The Tc used for determining peak stormwater runoff is the Tc at the maximum intensity of the storm, not at the beginning and end of the storm. Under these conditions, sheet flow has become shallow-concentrated flow and overland flow velocities have increased significantly. Typically, the Tc on a commercial site is 5 minutes unless calculations prove otherwise. TRANSPORTATION IMPACT STUDY means a study to determine vehicular and pedestrian impact on existing municipal roadway system. WALKWAYS / TRAILS means an allowance of property designated exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists and shall include nature trails and paths.

1 APPLICATION PROCESS

1.1 INITIAL CONTACT Determination if site suitable / development attainable

1.1.1 Prior to determining how a site should be designed for a proposed

commercial, industrial, institutional or multi-unit residential use, applicants must satisfy themselves and the City that the zoning of the property in question permits the proposed use.

How to Access Zoning Information in the City of Moncton:

The zoning of a specific property within the City of Moncton is found in the Zoning Map, also located in Schedule A (Zoning Map) of By-law Z-213, which can be found on the City of Moncton’s website at http://www.moncton.ca/Residents/Bylaw_Enforcement_Services/By-Laws.htm It can also be accessed in person at the Urban Planning department at City Hall. Once you have determined the particular zone that a property is within, the Zoning By-law text can be used to identify the types of uses, rules and conditions that apply within the zone. If you are using the Zoning By-law for the first time or are unsure as to how to use it, please contact the Urban Planning department for assistance.

Urban Planning Staff can assist in determining whether the proposed use is likely to comply with the provisions of the By-law, whether additional applications may be required, and the extent to which an application might be received favorably. Urban Planning Staff recommend that this initial research be carried as early into the development process as possible (prior to purchasing land or submitting an application) to help avoid unforeseen costs and delay for the landowner/developer.

1.1.2 If the application requires:

Rezoning: An application to amend the Zoning By-Law will be required and the amending process must be completed and successful prior to a building permit being considered. This may or may not also require an application to amend the Moncton Municipal Development Plan.

Terms and Conditions, variances, etc.: a separate application to the Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) will be required and the process must be completed and successful prior to a building

permit being considered.

Subdivision approval – must follow the subdivision approval process.

1.2 PRE-APPLICATION MEETING To assist in providing pre-application advice to landowners/developers, the City of Moncton offers an Interdepartmental Pre-Application Assessment process for more complex projects. Landowners are requested to provide a preliminary site plan and other details, sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for review by City Staff. The Pre-application process is coordinated through Urban Planning staff who circulate the pre-application materials and arrange for a time for the landowner/developer to meet with staff to discuss preliminary/pre-application comments. The City of Moncton offers Weekly Development Review Meetings, occurring on Wednesday mornings from 9am to 11am. These pre-application meetings are scheduled depending on the scale of the development. Developers attending this meeting should have their consultant and a contractor representative (if applicable) present at the meeting. (Contact the Urban Planning Department for further info) Pre-application comments are general in nature, aimed at providing the landowner with an overview of the types of applications/procedures which may be required, as well as the issues and information requirements should the landowner/developer decide to proceed with a proposal.

1.2.1 Smaller scale projects such as a small business or a multiple unit dwelling may not require a full pre application meeting but a consultation with a development officer or planner from the Urban Planning Department could be beneficial in order to avoid potential delays in your application.

1.2.2 Larger scale projects are encouraged to take advantage of the pre-

application meeting. This meeting is scheduled by contacting the Urban Planning Department. The meeting will then be scheduled on the next available Wednesday with all applicable City departments, including but not limited to; Urban Planning, Building Inspection, Engineering, Legal, Economic Development, Community Services, Fire Prevention, Codiac Transit and any other Department as required.

3.7.3 PROPOSED SERVICE CONNECTION

3.7.3.1 PLAN/ PROFILE

All commercial, industrial, institutional and multi-unit residential developments will require a sanitary, a storm and a water connection to the City’s existing municipal services, where said services exist within the Right of Way. In order to facilitate review and permitting of the proposed service connections, all existing services and all proposed connections to existing services must be designed and detailed on the Site Servicing Plan.

The Site Servicing Plan must show all existing City of Moncton infrastructure and any Public Utilities contained within the street right-of-way. City of Moncton infrastructure may include sanitary sewers, storm sewers and water mains. Public Utilities may include Aliant, Enbridge Gas, NB Power, Rogers Cable, and fibre-optic communications.

The extent of the necessary service cut into the existing street must be shown based on the depth of services and Worksafe NB requirements.

In order to ensure that no pipe crossing conflicts between existing and proposed services, the elevation of the street centreline and the invert of all existing and proposed services must be shown.

3.7.4 WATER SERVICE

Water services typically include both a domestic service for the supply of potable water and a fire service to supply automatic sprinkler systems for fire protection. Both the domestic service and the fire service must be sized using sound engineering principles, applicable codes and standards, recognizing the pressure and flow available. System flow and pressure testing should be done prior to design.

Both the domestic service and the fire service must have independent isolation valves located within the street right-of-way, or located within a Municipal Services Easement (MSE) in favor of the City of Moncton.



Section:

Construction

Standard Guidelines


14

If only a domestic service is required, connection to the existing City of Moncton watermain should be made with a live-tap performed by City of Moncton personnel as per Drawing No. 19 – Typical Water Service contained within the Standard Municipal Specifications.

If both a domestic service and a fire service are required, connection of these services to the existing City of Moncton watermain should be made with a live-tap performed by City of Moncton personnel as per Drawing No. 1 A, B & C – Commercial Service Connection contained within this manual (see list of tables and drawings page vi).

A water meter must be provided to account for all consumption from the City’s water distribution system. The meter shall be located at property line (direct bury application) or within the building, whichever deemed acceptable by the City. The magnetic water meter must be compatible with the City’s automated meter reading system and all RF transmission requirements as per City of Moncton By-Law P-102. The water meter shall be sized according to design flows and not the pipe size. Consideration shall be taken to account for any pressure loss due to the reduction in size of the watermeter. Services of 75mm or more will require a meter approved by the General Manager of Engineering and Environmental Services.

Live-taps using approved service saddles and tapping sleeves and valves (TSV) are to be used wherever possible to avoid service disruptions. In the event that the diameter of the City of Moncton watermain and the diameter of the fire supply do not permit the use of a TSV, a water system shut-down will be required.

A water system shut-down in a high demand area or a critical demand area will require special coordination with the City of Moncton and all affected users. Evening work may be a requirement. Provision of temporary water may be a requirement. Advanced notice and advertising may be a requirement. All additional costs associated with a water system shut-down are the responsibility of the Developer.



Section:

Construction

Standard Guidelines


15

All connections to the City of Moncton water system require both a Street and Services permit and a Valve Operating Plan.

3.7.5 WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM – CUSTODY TRANSFER STATION

In some instances, the City may require that a Developer own and operate their own water distribution system to service their development. In this case, a Custody Transfer Station will be required between the City’s system and the Private system. Instances where a Custody Transfer Station will be required , include but are not limited to, the following ;

o Private water systems with substantial distribution piping and multiple private hydrants, e.g. mini home parks, gated communities, etc.

o Developments with multiple buildings, e.g. large multi-building apartment/condo complexes, multi-pad shopping complexes.

o Any system meeting the provincial definition of a private system, i.e. system where the full development water consumption exceeds 50 cubic meters per day.

o Large commercial, industrial, institutional complexes with distribution systems that pose a high or moderate backflow risk, e.g. university/college campuses.

The Custody Transfer Station will ensure premise isolation, backflow prevention and water metering devices as outlined in By-Law P-102.

The requirements of a given Custody Transfer Station will be reviewed and accepted on an individual case-by-case basis contingent upon the requirements of the Development. However, there are a few general requirements that the Consultant/Engineer must consider when proposing a design for a Custody Transfer Station.

o Location - The Custody Transfer Station must be located

on private property adjacent to the property line where ownership of the distribution system will be transferred. Although the Custody Transfer Station will be owned and operated by the Developer, the City must have access to the station for inspection.



Section:

Construction

Standard Guidelines


16

o Watermain Looping - There is to be no watermain

looping from the Custody Transfer Station back to the City’s water distribution system. The Custody Transfer Station will provide a single unidirectional feed from the City system to the Private system with no reconnection back to the City system.

o Backflow Prevention – An approved backflow prevention

device must be provided to ensure that any pressure drops within the City’s water distribution system will not create a siphoning effect from the Private system to the City system. Backflow preventors are subject to permitting requirements, annual inspection and testing requirements. Backflow preventers must be selected as per CSA B64.10-11 and must be installed in a location that is: - as close to property line as possible - immediately downstream of the premises water meter - upstream of any tees, connections or outlets within the

private plumbing system Severe hazard premises shall be isolated by the installation

of a Reduced Pressure Principle (RP) backflow prevention assembly. (CSA B64.10-11)

Moderate hazard premises shall be isolated by the installation of a Double Check Valve Assembly (DCVA) backflow preventer. (CSA B64.10-11).

o Water Meter - A water meter must be provided to account

for all consumption from the City’s water distribution system to the Private system. The magnetic water meter must be compatible with the City’s automated meter reading system and all RF transmission requirements as per City of Moncton By-Law P-102.

o Frost Protection - The Custody Transfer Station must

protect all exposed watermain, backflow prevention, metering, and necessary fittings from freezing.

o Underground Chamber - The Custody Transfer Station

shall require a water tight underground chamber (including

17

venting) or an aboveground gated and insulated enclosure (meeting the ASSE Standards #1026), to house the backflow preventer and meter. The underground chamber must facilitate confined space entry necessary for inspections, meter calibration, and routine maintenance.

o Electrical Power and Lighting - The Custody Transfer

Station must provide electrical power backed up by an uninterrupted power supply to maintain lighting, meter controls and RF transmission.

o Drainage - The Custody Transfer Station must be located

at an elevation where it is not prone to inundation by surface water which may submerge the station or any of its underground infrastructures. The underground vault may require a drain if an acceptable gravity discharge point is available and groundwater conditions permit. If conditions do not permit a drain, provision for pumping may be required

o Ownership - The Custody Transfer Station is the

responsibility of the Developer to construct and maintain throughout the life of the Development.

3.7.6 PROPOSED SANITARY AND STORM SERVICE CONNECTIONS

All connections to the City of Moncton sanitary and storm system require a Street and Services permit.

Contingent upon the diameter and flow characteristics of the proposed sanitary and storm service connections, a manhole connection to the existing systems may be recommended. Manhole connections offer a better opportunity to monitor flows, perform CCTV camera inspections, and clear blockages.

Contingent upon the diameter of the proposed sanitary and storm service connections and contingent upon the diameter and material of the existing sewer mains, a manhole connection to the existing systems may be required. There must be at least one full nominal diameter difference between the proposed lateral and the existing sewer to facilitate core drill or service saddle type



Section:

Construction

Standard Guidelines


18

connections. This requirement prevents service laterals from penetrating into the existing sewer and the removal of too much material from the existing sewer. In some instances where proposed connections are being made to terra-cotta sewers, vitrified clay sewers, brick sewers, asbestos concrete sewers, or any sewer constructed of no longer used materials, a connection detail and/or a manhole connection may be required.

3.7.7 CONNECTION TO EXISTING MANHOLES

In cases where proposed sanitary and storm service connections will be made to existing sanitary and storm manholes, connections must be made at the manhole base so that drop manhole connections are not created. If the existing manhole has benching, core drill connections should be made directly above the manhole benching. If the existing manhole has no benching, core drill connections should be made so that the top of the proposed inlet pipe matches the top of the existing outlet pipe.

3.7.8 COMMERCIAL SERVICE CONNECTION FOR SEPARATED SEWER SYSTEM

A separate sanitary lateral must be provided from the property line to the existing sanitary sewer.

A separate storm lateral must be provided from the property line to the existing storm sewer.

Submission of the Design Brief will initiate the review process and determination of need.



Section:

Construction

Standard Guidelines


22

3.12 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL

Effective erosion and sediment control measures shall be an integral part of the overall site design and development. All sediment control devices and temporary construction access are to be installed prior to the beginning of construction, must be routinely inspected and maintained in proper working order until the area is permanently stabilized.

It is the Contractors responsibility to ensure that sediment-laden water and any other deleterious substances do not leave the site or reach aquatic habitat areas.

Built-up sediment and other debris in catch basins should be cleaned out and disposed of properly on a regular basis with the frequency depending on the sediment loading that is occurring on site. Ripped or otherwise damaged catch basin inserts must be replaced immediately.

The right-of-way shall be kept clean and no mud or debris shall be tracked off-site.

All dewatering done at the construction site must be treated to remove sediment prior to discharging into the environment.

All stormwater management systems, including but not limited to, swales, detention ponds and ditches, shall be permanently stabilized with seed according to Section 13 of the City of Moncton Standard Municipal Specifications.

Weather forecasts shall be monitored and prior, during, and after rainfall events the entire site shall be inspected for erosion and sediment control deficiencies, and any deficiencies immediately addressed.

3.13 ON-SITE STORMWATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT DEVICES

3.13.1 PROVISIONS

3.13.1.1 The City of Moncton has introduced By-Law P-215 requiring the

provision of on-site stormwater quality management devices on high-density residential, commercial, industrial and institutional



Section:

Construction

Standard Guidelines


23

development. High-density residential development includes residential apartment sites that offer 15 or more parking spaces. Lower density residential development, with less than 15 parking spaces, is currently exempt from the By-Law.

3.13.1.2 The on-site stormwater quality management devices must remove

and retain fats, oil and grease (FOG) and total suspended solids (TSS) from stormwater runoff prior to releasing it to the City’s system. Specific information of the FOG concentrations and TSS particle size to be removed and contained can be found in the Design Criteria Manual for Municipal Services.

3.13.1.3 The Consultant/Engineer must size and specify the appropriate on-

site stormwater quality management device necessary to remove the FOG concentration and TSS particle size as per the Design Criteria Manual for Municipal Services. Supporting calculations or hydraulic model results must be submitted for review.

3.13.1.4 All costs associated with the provision of on-site stormwater quality

management devices are the responsibility of the Developer. In the event that a Change Order is requested for an alternate on-site

stormwater quality management device already specified on drawings that have been accepted by the City of Moncton, both a certification from the Proponent of the Change Order and a certification from the Engineer are required. The certification must indicate that the alternate on-site stormwater quality management device will remove the FOG concentration and TSS particle size as per the Design Criteria Manual for Municipal Services. Supporting calculations, or hydraulic model results must be submitted for review.

3.13.2 STORM DRAINAGE SERVICING

3.13.2.1 Dual Storm Drainage Systems

The site must be serviced by a dual drainage system consisting of both a minor system (piped) and a major system (overland).

The minor system must be designed to capture and convey stormwater runoff water from landscaped areas, parking areas, and the foundation drainage system. Stormwater runoff from the roof may be connected to the minor system, or may be managed on-site by the major system.



Section:

Construction

Standard Guidelines


24

3.13.2.2 Minor System – Piped System

Generally, the City’s storm drainage system in newer areas has been designed to deliver a 1:5 year level of service for all lands that naturally drain to that system.. In this case, the maximum stormwater discharge rate from the site to the City’s storm sewer system must be no greater than the theoretical stormwater discharge rate from the site for the 1:5 year design storm using the appropriate time of concentration and runoff coefficient.

The City’s storm drainage system in older areas may not be designed to deliver a 1:5 year level of service for all lands that drain naturally to that system based on current design criteria. In this case, the maximum stormwater discharge rate from the site to the City’s storm sewer system must be no greater than the available reserve capacity of the City’s system. Consultation between the Consultant/Engineer and the City will be required to determine the maximum stormwater discharge rate in these cases.

3.13.2.3 Major System – Overland System

Excess stormwater runoff that exceeds the maximum stormwater discharge rate, up to the 1:100 year design storm, must be maintained on-site. Discharge of excess stormwater runoff to adjacent properties to the City’s street right-of-way is not permitted.

Excess stormwater runoff must be detained on site until it can be released to the City’s storm sewer system at a rate less than the maximum stormwater discharge rate. This may be accomplished through underground detention storage, or may be accomplished through parking lot storage. - In either event that underground detention storage is selected, calculations determining the volume of excess stormwater runoff and the proposed detention storage must be provided. - In the event that parking lot detention storage is selected, the depth and spread of all ponding areas must be provided on the Site Grading Plan.

3.13.2.4 Runoff Coefficients

Individual runoff coefficients for pervious and impervious areas on the site may be used to calculate the theoretical stormwater discharge rate and the maximum stormwater discharge rate. A composite runoff coefficient based upon individual runoff coefficients may be used to calculate the theoretical stormwater discharge rate and the maximum stormwater discharge rate.



Section:

Construction

Standard Guidelines


25

3.13.2.5 Time of Concentration

Rainfall intensities are to be determined based on the time of concentration (Tc) of the site. Typically, small sites are composed of impervious areas being directly connected to the City’s storm sewer system. In these instances, rainfall intensity should be based on a Tc=5 minutes, unless calculations support otherwise.

Typically, large sites are composed of impervious areas being directly connected to the City’s storm sewer system with landscaped areas being indirectly connected to the City’s storm sewer system. The Tc of the site may be greater than 5 minutes, however the runoff contributions from the indirectly connected areas are insignificant compared to that of the directly connected areas. Runoff calculations of the directly connected areas based on a Tc equal to 5 minutes may be compared to the entire area based on a Tc greater than 5 minutes. The larger of the two will establish the maximum stormwater discharge rate.

3.13.2.6 Rainfall Intensity

Once the Tc for the site has been established, it may be used to calculate the rainfall intensity using the latest version of the Intensity Duration Frequency curves for Moncton International Airport available through Environment Canada.

3.13.3 INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE

3.13.3.1 The City of Moncton has introduced By-Law P-215 requiring the

inspection and maintenance of on-site stormwater quality management devices on high-density residential, commercial, industrial and institutional development.

3.13.3.2 The inspection and maintenance of on-site stormwater quality

management devices varies with the individual device and the site conditions under which it operates. Specific requirements for the inspection and maintenance of individual devices are available from the manufacturer.

3.13.3.3 On-Site stormwater quality management devices have different

inspection and maintenance requirements and frequencies. The Engineer should consider both the capital costs and the operation



Section:

Standard Guidelines


26

and maintenance costs associated with a particular on-site stormwater quality management device when sizing and specifying a device.

3.13.3.4 The City of Moncton requires that all Owners of on-site stormwater

quality management devices provide proof of inspection and maintenance to the City of Moncton on an annual basis.

3.13.3.5 All costs associated with the inspection and maintenance of on-site

stormwater quality management devices are the responsibility of the Owner.

3.14 VALVE OPERATION PLAN (VOP)

3.14.1 In order to protect City Infrastructure and employee/worker safety, during construction projects, water main pressure is to be controlled by closing appropriate water valves.

3.14.2 As per City of Moncton Standard Municipal Specifications, Water

Distribution System section 4.1.4.2.1, the Contractor shall not operate existing water valves and section 4.1.4.2.2, the Contractor is to make all arrangements at least one full working day prior to connecting or locating existing water mains.

3.14.3 Valve Operating Plan and Worksheet to be provided by Design and
