LOCATION: T15S, R15E, Section 21
REVIEWER: Elizabeth Leibold
CASE: DP12-0085, T12OT01185

SUMMARY: PDSD Engineering Division has reviewed the Development Package for the Prairie Fire Solar Project at the counter 13AUG12 and recommends approval of the Development Package, Drainage Report for Floodplain Use Permit Issuance, and Development Package Permit Issuance. Development Package acts as the grading permit for this project. The following conditions apply and shall be addressed during construction activities and before project completion final approvals.
CONDITIONS OF PERMITS:
The following conditions apply to the Development Package DP12-0085 and Floodplain Use Permit T12OT01185:
1) Call for Pre-construction meeting. For a PDSD Engineering Inspection, call IVR (740-6970), or schedule with a Customer Service Representative at Planning & Development Services Department (PDSD), or contact PDSD Engineering at 837-4888, or schedule inspections online at: http://www.ci.tucson.az.us/dsd/Online_Services/Online_Permits/online_permits.html
2) Project is for improvements for Prairie Fire, a TEP SOLON Solar development, including grading, construction of 4.5 MW photovoltaic solar panel site, with drainage facilities and access improvements as shown on the approved plan entitled TEP Prairie Fire Solar sealed by James C. Campbell, P.E. dated 8-9-12 and Floodplain Use Permit based on Drainage Report TEP Prairie Fire Solar Project, revised July 16, 2012, sealed by James C. Campbell, P.E. dated 7-20-2012.

4) For Basis of Elevation, use Southeast property corner as noted on plans.
5) Basin is required to have erosion protection for unattenuated flow conditions. For Civil Construction Details sheet 3/21, to clarify for Detention Basin Cross Section, rip rap with filter fabric shall be provided on all sides of the basin, to 100-yr WSEL plus freeboard is needed to direct flows to weir.
6) Provision and participation in the improvement district for maintaining public infrastructure is also referenced in the Annexation (Ord.6143).
7) Call for PDSD Engineering inspection of basin construction improvements, and any areas as identified by the Inspectors. Inspections should also include PDSD engineering inspection at time of installation of basin stormdrain pipe for basin. Discuss during Pre-con or contact PDSD Engineering Inspector to confirm which inspections may be needed.
8) During construction activities, traffic control plans may be required if there is a safety hazard potential from construction activities conflicting with public traffic. It may be necessary to submit a copy of a traffic control plan to PDSD Engineering. Traffic control plans shall minimize traffic hazard conditions between public access to existing buildings, and construction vehicles & activities.
9) Additional drainage pipes may be needed for the site as deemed necessary by the EOR or identified during construction.
10) A copy of stamped approved plan(s), floodplain use permit, NOI, AzPDES general permit, geotechnical report/addenda, and other reports shall be kept at site at all times, until final grading approval.
11) Grading / Disturbance Limits shall be maintained and no disturbance outside of grading limits will be allowed. Stop Work Order may be issued if disturbance occurs outside of approved grading limits as shown on approved plans. There shall be no disturbance, construction vehicle traffic or parking, or stockpiling outside of approved Grading Limits as shown on plans, and there shall be no disturbance of W.A.S.H. Ordinance areas as shown on approved plans. Any disturbance without authorization may result in Stop Work Order and/or other penalties.
12) Interim erosion and sediment controls shall be maintained per approved plans along downstream areas of disturbance limits. Interim control measures shall be placed within approved grading limits. Prior to Final Approval all temporary controls shall be removed and permanent controls shall be placed.
13) Stabilized entrances shall be maintained in area of all active access entrances. Use of water trucks or other dust controls shall be utilized, and construction entrances shall be maintained to minimize sedimentation, dust issues, and tracking.
14) Storage or placement of construction material, vehicle staging / stockpile area, and/or designated concrete washout locations shall not be located within or near new basin or Regional Basin to the south, existing public drainageway, floodplain areas, or water harvesting areas. Temporary stockpiles shall not be located on easements or adjacent to existing public drainageway.
15) To keep construction debris from entering Regional Basin, heavy duty construction fencing along south project area may need to be provided as needed and as determined with consultation between contractor, engineer, and inspector.
16) Any revisions to Development Package plan sheets must be reviewed by PDSD Engineering Engineer and may include discussion, details, or a revised plan. Call PDSD Engineering at 791-5550 to discuss any revisions.
17) If grading construction is expected to last longer than expiration date of Development Package permit, contact PDSD to renew/extend the permits. If Final Grading Inspection has not been completed before Development Package Permit or Floodplain Use Permit expires, and permit(s) has not been renewed, additional fees and reviews may be required. Requests for permit extensions may be submitted to Planning & Development Services Department (attn: Claudia Buford), prior to Floodplain Use Permit or Development Package Permit expiration dates, for consideration of plan extension approval.
