RE: Response to Preliminary Site Plan Review Comments -
Middletown Elementary School Addition
Dear Mr. Lawrence:
I have reviewed your preliminary site plan review comments for the above referenced site plan. Your
comments have been addressed, and the corrected site plan and comments are included. All the
comments have been appropriately addressed on the drawings. The explanations of a few particular
comments are as follows:
"Site Plait Checklist - comment ii 5"
There are no new outdoor lighting fixtures according to the electrical engineer; therefore they
are not shown on the site plan.
"Site Plan Checkli.s't - conmrents ii 8"
The requested parking space calculations have been added to the drawings, and the Frederick
County School Board has sent a letter to the Planning Department to address the discrepancy
between the parking required and the parking provided.
"Sheet C2 - comment # 7"
The dumpster addressed, which is an existing dumpster, does indeed sit on a concrete pad,
nor is it affected by this addition, As for the screening requested, Tom Sullivan, with the
Frederick County School Board, spoke with the Planning Department on 12/3/97 and
confirmed that such screening will not be necessary.

REF: Middletown Elementary School Addition
Dear Eric:
As you are aware, the construction of an addition to Middletown
Elementary School will begin in the very near future. Construction of
additional parking spaces is not included in the project. The number
of parking spaces which exists at the school is more than adequate
for the anticipated increase in staff and visitors during the regular
school day. In addition, during the planning process, we reviewed
attendance data as a result of special events such as concerts,
plays, and various meetings held throughout the school year. We do
not expect attendance at these events to increase significantly
following the completion of the addition. We feel the number of
parking spaces which currently exists at Middletown Elementary School
is sufficient for special events held at the school.
If you have any questions or concerns with regard to this
matter, please do not hesitate in contacting me at your earliest
convenience.

b. Provide labor and equipment and make all preparations for each test.
C. Repeat tests and perform repairs as many times as necessary until achieving
acceptable test results.
2. Gravity Mains:
a. Test all sewer lines for both displacement or structural faults and for
watertightness.
b. Displacement Testing - Lights: Flash a light between manholes by means
of a flashlight or by reflecting sunlight with a mirror. If the illuminated
interior of the pipeline shows visible leaks, poor alignment, displaced pipe
or any other defect, remedy the defects at no additional cost to Owner.
C. Deflection Testing: Measure pipe for vertical ring deflection after
completion of the backfill. Maximum ring deflection of the pipe under load
shall be limited to 5 % of the vertical internal pipe diameter. Accomplish
testing by recording deflectometer or by approved mandrel, sphere, or pin
type go/no-go device.
d. Watertightness Testing - Infiltration: When, in the opinion of the
Engineer, the trench or excavation is sufficiently (4 feet above crown)
saturated as a result of ground water or rain, make tests on the basis of
infiltration. Carefully measure the floor of water at the nearest downgrade
manhole. Make three series of measurements at not less than one -hour
02730-7 9716
• SITE WORK • DIVISION 2
intervals, and reduce the results to an average. Extrapolate the average to
apply to a 24 hour period. Make all such tests only under the supervision
of the Architect/Engineer. Infiltration shall not exceed a rate of 100
gallons per inch of pipe diameter per mile per day for any section of the
system.
e. Watertightness Testing - Exfiltration: When conditions are not suitable for
making infiltration tests,•make exfiltration tests. Fill the line to be tested
to provide a head of at least 4 feet above both the water table and the top
of the pipe at the upper end of the pipeline to be tested. Allow the filled
line to stand until the pipe has reached its maximum absorption, but not less
than 4 hours. After absorption, re-establish the head. Measure the amount
of water required to maintain this water level during a two-hour test period.
Leakage measured by this test shall not exceed 100 gallons per inch
diameter per mile of pipeline per day.
f. Watertightness Testing - Air: Adhere to the following procedure:
(1) Clean pipe to be tested by propelling snug -fitting inflated rubber
ball through the pipe with water if necessary.
(2) Plug all pipe outlets with suitable test plugs. Brace each plug
securely.
(3) If the pipe to be tested is submerged in ground water, insert a pipe
probe by boring or jetting into the backfill material adjacent to the
center of the pipe, and determine the pressure in the probe when air
passes slowly through it. This is the back pressure due to ground
water submergence over the end of the probe. All gauge pressures
in the test should be increased by this amount.
(4) Add air slowly to the portion of the pipe installation under test until
the internal air pressure is raised to 4.0 psig.
(5) After an internal pressure of 4.0 psig is obtained, allow at least two
minutes for air temperature to stabilize, adding only the amount of
air required to maintain pressure.
(6) After stabilizing the internal pressure of 4.0 psig, reduce the
internal air pressure to 3.5 psig, and start stopwatch. Determine the
time in seconds that is required for the internal air pressure to reach
2.5 psig. Minimum permissible pressure holding times for runs of
single pipe diameter are indicated in seconds in the attached table
in Appendix A.
02730-8 9716
• SITE WORK • DIVISION 2
Note: The air test may be dangerous if, because of ignorance or
carelessness, a line is improperly prepared. It is extremely
important that the various plugs be installed and braced in such a
way as to prevent blowouts. In as much as a force of 250 lbs. is
exerted on an 8-inch plug by an internal pipe pressure of 5 psi, it
should be realized that sudden expulsion of a poorly installed plug
or a plug that is partially deflated before the pipe pressure is
released can be dangerous. As a safety precaution, pressurizing
equipment should include a regulator set at perhaps 10 psi to avoid
over -pressurizing and damaging an otherwise acceptable line. No
one shall be allowed in the manholes during testing.
g. Manhole Exfiltration Testing: When air testing is used to verify the
weathertightness of gravity sewer line, conduct a separate exfiltration test
on each manhole. Suitably plug inlet and outlet lines before starting the
presoak period. After a presoak period of at least four hours, fill the
manhole to a depth of one foot below the top of the casting. Measure the
amount of water required to maintain this level during a two-hour test
period. A detectable leakage shall be cause for rejection.
h. Manhole Vacuum Testing: As an alternate to the exfiltration test, perform
a vacuum test on precast concrete manholes only in accordance with the
following requirements:
(1) Test manhole after assembly is complete including construction of
inverts and placement of frame and cover.
(2) Perform testing prior to backfilling.
(3) Secure stubouts, manhole booths, and pipe plugs to prevent
movement while the vacuum is drawn.
(4) Install and operate vacuum equipment and indicating devices in
accordance with equipment specifications for which performance
information has been provided by the manufacturer and approved
