010761, ' e. Surface water will be directed to the on -site retention system and released into a natural channel which runs westerly along the sites northern boundary. This channel releases into a natural wet area (swamp) situated in the southern end of Pine Ridge Park, about 85' northeast of the site. Due to the incorporation of automobiles on the site, surface water can be expected to become contaminated with petroleum by-products prior to leaving this site. An oil separator incorporated within the retention system can be expected to reduce pollutant levels. (4) Flora a. Clearing activity, necessary for road installation, building areas and associated parking will reduce numbers of flora present. This amounts to so c. Through landscaping, new species of flora may be introduced which are not native to the site. (5) Fauna a, c, d. The introduction of construction equipment and resultant use for clearing necessary for proper grade transition, drainage, and foundation stability will reduce habitat and lessen the desirability (by site fauna) of the site as habitat. The introduction of domestic pets and human population (along with the previous activity) may further hinder the re-establishment .of native animal. population. Animals displaced from the site would eventually be eliminated through competitive exclusion new developmentecies that s wouldstand surviveeinhange of habitat or are suited to reduced numbers. (6) Noise Noise levels would be intermittently high throughout construction, but should be limited to normal -waking hours. After construction, residential activity and traffic noise created aapprimalely 80 average daily vehicular trips would increase mbnoise This increase can be expected to have no signicant impact. (7) Light and Glare The introduction of streetlights, automobiles, home lighting, etc. will produce new light and add new reflective surfaces which produce glare. The on -site vegetation is expected to partially mitigate these effects of development. 4i 14 f: a SURVEYING ENGINEERING PLANNING MANAGEMENT c '
