Stormwater management was a central consideration in the site design. EMC engineered a drainage strategy that addresses both quantity and quality control requirements, attenuating post-development peak flows and providing treatment of surface runoff before discharge to receiving systems. The parking lot and access road design was integrated with the overall drainage plan, ensuring efficient traffic circulation while maintaining positive drainage to the stormwater collection system.
