I. Introduction
THBC NY, LLC. is proposing to develop a ±10.7-acre site within the City
of Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County, New York. The project site is located at
3376 US Route 9 (South Broadway), approximately ±1,300 feet south of the
intersection with Crescent Ave and is currently with ±10,420 sf of paved parking.
A new 2-story, ±22,778 sf microproduction brewery and three pavilions are
proposed along with new patio seating, parking facilities, utility connections,
stormwater management facilities, and other appurtenances as depicted on the
Proposed Site Plan Documents prepared by Bohler, dated November 30, 2023, no
revisions listed.
This report will address the required components for a Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) as specified by the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation SPDES General Permit for
Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity Permit No. GP-0-20-001.
II. Background Information
a. Existing Conditions
The overall property is approximately ±10.7 acres and is currently
developed with ±10,420 sf of paved parking and is comprised primarily of brush
and vegetation. The site is located along US Route 9 (South Broadway) (Tax Map
178.00-2-15) in the City of Saratoga Springs. The site is surrounded by a car
dealership to the north, wooded area and a mental health facility to the east,
wooded area and a hotel to the south, and US Route 9 to the west. The site
generally slopes in a southeasterly direction from US Route 9 towards the existing
wetlands located along the easterly property boundary and eventually discharges
into the Kayaderosseras Creek tributary to Saratoga Lake. Existing drainage
patterns are expected to remain after the proposed development.
b. Proposed Conditions
A new microproduction brewery and three pavilions are proposed to be
constructed along with associated patio seating, parking areas, access drives,
utilities, stormwater management facilities, and other appurtenances. An entrance-
only ingress curb cut and an exit-only egress curb cut are proposed on US Route
9. The northernmost egress is proposed to be in the same location as the existing
curb cut. The southernmost ingress proposes to relocate the existing curb cut.
Stormwater is proposed to be collected and treated onsite. New
stormwater management facilities are proposed to mitigate impacts of this
development project. These facilities adhere to the latest NYSDEC manual for
quality and quantity treatment while maintaining existing tributary flow patterns.
3 | P a g e
The proposed project is further depicted on the accompanying Proposed Site Plan
Documents prepared by Bohler, dated November 30, 2023, no revisions listed.
The property owner will be responsible for all construction activities, post
construction operations and maintenance of the facility and all responsibilities
specified in the SWPPP.
III. Construction Drawings:
Included in this report are the following drawings:

IV. Soil Description:
Data supplied by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) indicates that site soils are primarily classified as Deerfield Loamy Fine
Sand (DeA and DeB) with a hydrologic soils group classification of “A” type soil
group. NRCS soil data can be found in the Stormwater Management Report
included in the appendices. Further on-site geotechnical evaluation was performed
to confirm soil characteristics and the findings may also be found in the
Stormwater Management Report included in the appendices.
4 | P a g e
V. Construction Phasing:
Limits of clearing and grading, utility and infrastructure installation and
all other associated activities resulting in soil disturbance are detailed on the
Erosion and Sediment Control, Grading and Drainage and Utility Plans.
Construction sequencing is listed on the General Notes Sheet.
VI. Pollution Prevention Measures:
Pollution Prevention measures during construction are detailed on the
SWPPP / Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. Construction waste will be
disposed in on-site construction dumpsters immediately. The dumpsters shall be
located such that any stormwater run-off will be directed to a sediment trap. Any
materials or chemicals considered to be hazardous shall be covered or stored in
construction trailers to ensure no discharge to stormwater will occur.
VII. Soil Stabilization Measures:
Initial clearing and grading will commence once the proposed erosion and
sediment control practices are in place as detailed on the erosion and sediment
control plan and approved by the SWPPP Monitoring Professional. All grading
and excavation will be conducted such that associated stormwater run-off is
directed to the temporary sediment trap. The trap will be abandoned once the
drainage structures are in place with proper inlet protection installed and all
disturbed areas are stabilized.
VIII. Erosion and Sediment Control Practices:
Specific types, sizes, lengths and dimensions for all erosion control
practices and sizing for temporary sediment basins are detailed on the Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan and Detail Sheet. All temporary erosion control practices
shall be in place prior to construction and shall remain until the limits of disturbed
areas are stabilized.
IX. Maintenance Schedule:
Maintenance of the proposed erosion and sediment control practices are
detailed on the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. Included in this report are
Construction Inspection and Operations and Maintenance Checklists. The
operator is ultimately responsible for inspection and maintenance during
construction. Stabilization must be achieved prior to removal of temporary
erosion and sediment control devices and filing of the NYSDEC Notice of
Termination (NOT). The SWPPP Monitoring Professional must inspect and
approve final stabilization prior to filing of the NOT. Following the NOT filing,
which terminates permit coverage, the Property Owner or any subsequent owner
5 | P a g e
shall follow the guidelines set forth in this report and will be responsible for
operations and maintenance over the lifetime of the facility.
Operations and Maintenance of this facility is the responsibility of THBC
NY, LLC. A designated representative shall conduct bi-annual inspections and
keep a log of results and mitigation measures taken. This log shall be made
available to the City of Saratoga Springs at their request. Maintenance shall
depend mainly on inspection observations. Any deficiencies in the facility shall
be corrected immediately upon discovery. Sediment removal shall occur on an as
needed basis but at minimum twice yearly (if applicable). A qualified hauler,
familiar in the proper disposal of waste, shall dispose of sediment. All parking
lots shall be swept two (2) times per year, between the dates of October 1 and
June 1 of each year. Cleaning of structures shall include the removal, and proper
disposal, of all sand and debris from the sumps. Inspection forms and/or
checklists in addition to maintenance procedures have been provided for use as
part of this document.
X. Receiving Waters:
The proposed drainage system is designed to treat and release stormwater
below the pre-development flow rate for all subject storm events. Stormwater is
discharged to the existing wetlands along the eastern property line where it
eventually discharges to Kayaderosseras Creek, mimicking existing conditions.
XI. SWPPP Implementation and Permit Coverage Termination:
THBC NY, LLC, as the operator, shall have each contractor and sub-
contractors identify at least one (1) person responsible for SWPPP
Implementation. This person must be trained and certified by the NYSDEC as
stated on Page 19, Part III.A.6 of the NYSDEC General Permit GP-0-20-001
included in the appendix of this report. THBC NY, LLC, as the operator, shall
designate an inspector meeting the qualifications as set forth on page 24, Part IV
of the General Permit. The inspector shall be responsible for the construction
phase of the project and the implementation of the pollution prevention measures
set forth in this report. The designated individual shall have a complete
understanding of all components of the stormwater management system.
Delineation of SWPPP implementation responsibilities for the construction phase
of the project are detailed in the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. The plan
details structural practices proposed to divert flows from exposed soils, store
flows, and limit run-off and discharge of pollutants from exposed areas of the site
during construction. THBC NY, LLC, shall also designate a qualified
representative for the post development inspection and monitoring. The inspector
shall follow the guidelines of the Operations and Maintenance Checklists included
in this report. The inspector shall keep a continuous record of all inspection
checklists, maintenance and repairs and shall make them available to the City and
the NYSDEC at their request.
6 | P a g e
An owner or operator that is eligible to terminate coverage must submit a
completed NOT form to the address in Part II.A.1 of the NYSDEC General
Permit GP-0-20-001 included in the appendix of this report. The NOT form shall
be one which is associated with the general permit, signed in accordance with Part
VII.H. An owner or operator may terminate coverage when one or more of the
conditions in Parts V.A.1 thru V.A.5 have been met.
XII. Stormwater Run-off Characteristics:
Existing and proposed data describing stormwater run-off characteristics
are included in the Stormwater Management Report, prepared by Bohler
Engineering. This report is included in the Appendix.
XIII. Archeological Sensitive Area:
The project site lies within an archeologically sensitive area per CRIS

delineation of permanent conservation easements is not warranted.
o Reduction of Clearing and Grading:
The limits of clearing and grading have been proposed at a
minimum needed to construct the proposed facility.
o Locating Development in Less Sensitive Areas:
The proposed development will not result in adverse impact to
sensitive resource areas such as floodplains, erodible soils, wetlands,
mature forests and critical habitats.
o Open Space Design:
The proposed layout of this facility has been designed as
conservatively as practical to reduce impervious coverage, preserve
open space and protect water resources, while maintaining adequate
space for access, parking and building area needed for the proposed
use.
o Soil Restoration / Preservation:
The greenspace areas will have fresh topsoil and seed/sod added to
establish turf and increase the porosity of the soils, in addition to
application of NYSDEC mandated soil restoration practices.
8 | P a g e
b) Reduction of Impervious Cover
o Roadway Reduction:
Roadway reduction is not applicable to this project.
o Sidewalk Reduction:
The sidewalks have been designed at a minimum width and length
to provide safe access through and around the facilities.
o Driveway Reduction:
The access drives have been designed at a minimum width and
length to provide safe access through the site.
o Cul-de-sac Reduction:
Cul-de-sac reduction is not applicable to this project.
o Building Footprint Reduction:
The building footprints have been designed at a minimum footprint
to meet the needs of the intended use.
o Parking Reduction:
The parking areas have been designed to provide the minimum
number of spaces needed for the intended uses.
2. Determining Water Quality Volume:
The Water Quality Volume (WQv) has been calculated and is shown in
the details section of the Storm Water Management Report.
3. Runoff Reduction:
Standard SMP Infiltration Basin and Dry Swale practices have been
applied to provide runoff reduction. Volume Reduction Porous Pavement
practices have also been applied to further reduce runoff volume. GI worksheets
and calculations are included within the Stormwater Management Report
prepared by Bohler, dated December 4, 2023, no revisions listed.
4. Minimum RRv:
The Minimum Runoff Reduction Volume Criteria has been calculated and
is shown in the details section of the Storm Water Management Report.

PREFACE
Pursuant to Section 402 of the Clean Water Act (“CWA”), stormwater discharges
from certain construction activities are unlawful unless they are authorized by a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit or by a state permit program.
New York administers the approved State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(SPDES) program with permits issued in accordance with the New York State
Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) Article 17, Titles 7, 8 and Article 70.
An owner or operator of a construction activity that is eligible for coverage under
this permit must obtain coverage prior to the commencement of construction activity.
Activities that fit the definition of “construction activity”, as defined under 40 CFR
122.26(b)(14)(x), (15)(i), and (15)(ii), constitute construction of a point source and
therefore, pursuant to ECL section 17-0505 and 17-0701, the owner or operator must
have coverage under a SPDES permit prior to commencing construction activity. The
owner or operator cannot wait until there is an actual discharge from the construction site
to obtain permit coverage.
*Note: The italicized words/phrases within this permit are defined in Appendix A.

Part 1. PERMIT COVERAGE AND LIMITATIONS
A. Permit Application
This permit authorizes stormwater discharges to surface waters of the State from
the following construction activities identified within 40 CFR Parts 122.26(b)(14)(x),
122.26(b)(15)(i) and 122.26(b)(15)(ii), provided all of the eligibility provisions of this
permit are met:
1. Construction activities involving soil disturbances of one (1) or more acres;
including disturbances of less than one acre that are part of a larger common
plan of development or sale that will ultimately disturb one or more acres of
land; excluding routine maintenance activity that is performed to maintain the
original line and grade, hydraulic capacity or original purpose of a facility;
2. Construction activities involving soil disturbances of less than one (1) acre
where the Department has determined that a SPDES permit is required for
stormwater discharges based on the potential for contribution to a violation of a
water quality standard or for significant contribution of pollutants to surface
waters of the State.
3. Construction activities located in the watershed(s) identified in Appendix D that
involve soil disturbances between five thousand (5,000) square feet and one
(1) acre of land.
B. Effluent Limitations Applicable to Discharges from Construction Activities
Discharges authorized by this permit must achieve, at a minimum, the effluent
limitations in Part I.B.1. (a) – (f) of this permit. These limitations represent the degree of
effluent reduction attainable by the application of best practicable technology currently
available.
1. Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements - The owner or operator must
select, design, install, implement and maintain control measures to minimize
the discharge of pollutants and prevent a violation of the water quality
standards. The selection, design, installation, implementation, and
maintenance of these control measures must meet the non-numeric effluent
limitations in Part I.B.1.(a) – (f) of this permit and be in accordance with the
New York State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment
Control, dated November 2016, using sound engineering judgment. Where
control measures are not designed in conformance with the design criteria
included in the technical standard, the owner or operator must include in the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (“SWPPP”) the reason(s) for the
(Part I.B.1)
2
deviation or alternative design and provide information which demonstrates that
the deviation or alternative design is equivalent to the technical standard.
a. Erosion and Sediment Controls. Design, install and maintain effective
erosion and sediment controls to minimize the discharge of pollutants and
prevent a violation of the water quality standards. At a minimum, such
controls must be designed, installed and maintained to:
(i) Minimize soil erosion through application of runoff control and soil
stabilization control measure to minimize pollutant discharges;
(ii) Control stormwater discharges, including both peak flowrates and total
stormwater volume, to minimize channel and streambank erosion and
scour in the immediate vicinity of the discharge points;
(iii) Minimize the amount of soil exposed during construction activity;
(iv) Minimize the disturbance of steep slopes;
(v) Minimize sediment discharges from the site;
(vi) Provide and maintain natural buffers around surface waters, direct
stormwater to vegetated areas and maximize stormwater infiltration to
reduce pollutant discharges, unless infeasible;
(vii) Minimize soil compaction. Minimizing soil compaction is not required
where the intended function of a specific area of the site dictates that it
be compacted;
(viii) Unless infeasible, preserve a sufficient amount of topsoil to complete
soil restoration and establish a uniform, dense vegetative cover; and
(ix) Minimize dust. On areas of exposed soil, minimize dust through the
appropriate application of water or other dust suppression techniques
to control the generation of pollutants that could be discharged from
the site.
b. Soil Stabilization. In areas where soil disturbance activity has temporarily
or permanently ceased, the application of soil stabilization measures must
be initiated by the end of the next business day and completed within
fourteen (14) days from the date the current soil disturbance activity ceased.
For construction sites that directly discharge to one of the 303(d) segments
(Part I.B.1.b)
3
listed in Appendix E or is located in one of the watersheds listed in
Appendix C, the application of soil stabilization measures must be initiated
by the end of the next business day and completed within seven (7) days
from the date the current soil disturbance activity ceased. See Appendix A
for definition of Temporarily Ceased.
c. Dewatering. Discharges from dewatering activities, including discharges
from dewatering of trenches and excavations, must be managed by
appropriate control measures.
d. Pollution Prevention Measures. Design, install, implement, and maintain
effective pollution prevention measures to minimize the discharge of
pollutants and prevent a violation of the water quality standards. At a
minimum, such measures must be designed, installed, implemented and
maintained to:
(i) Minimize the discharge of pollutants from equipment and vehicle
washing, wheel wash water, and other wash waters. This applies to
washing operations that use clean water only. Soaps, detergents and
solvents cannot be used;
(ii) Minimize the exposure of building materials, building products,
construction wastes, trash, landscape materials, fertilizers, pesticides,
herbicides, detergents, sanitary waste, hazardous and toxic waste, and
other materials present on the site to precipitation and to stormwater.
Minimization of exposure is not required in cases where the exposure
to precipitation and to stormwater will not result in a discharge of
pollutants, or where exposure of a specific material or product poses
little risk of stormwater contamination (such as final products and
materials intended for outdoor use) ; and
(iii) Prevent the discharge of pollutants from spills and leaks and
implement chemical spill and leak prevention and response
procedures.
e. Prohibited Discharges. The following discharges are prohibited:
(i) Wastewater from washout of concrete;
(ii) Wastewater from washout and cleanout of stucco, paint, form release
oils, curing compounds and other construction materials;
(Part I.B.1.e.iii)
4
(iii) Fuels, oils, or other pollutants used in vehicle and equipment operation
and maintenance;
(iv) Soaps or solvents used in vehicle and equipment washing; and
(v) Toxic or hazardous substances from a spill or other release.
f. Surface Outlets. When discharging from basins and impoundments, the
outlets shall be designed, constructed and maintained in such a manner
that sediment does not leave the basin or impoundment and that erosion at
or below the outlet does not occur.
C. Post-construction Stormwater Management Practice Requirements
1. The owner or operator of a construction activity that requires post-construction
stormwater management practices pursuant to Part III.C. of this permit must
select, design, install, and maintain the practices to meet the performance
criteria in the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual
(“Design Manual”), dated January 2015, using sound engineering judgment.
Where post-construction stormwater management practices (“SMPs”) are not
designed in conformance with the performance criteria in the Design Manual,
the owner or operator must include in the SWPPP the reason(s) for the
deviation or alternative design and provide information which demonstrates that
the deviation or alternative design is equivalent to the technical standard.
2. The owner or operator of a construction activity that requires post-construction
stormwater management practices pursuant to Part III.C. of this permit must
design the practices to meet the applicable sizing criteria in Part I.C.2.a., b., c.
or d. of this permit.
a. Sizing Criteria for New Development
(i) Runoff Reduction Volume (“RRv”): Reduce the total Water Quality
Volume (“WQv”) by application of RR techniques and standard SMPs
with RRv capacity. The total WQv shall be calculated in accordance
with the criteria in Section 4.2 of the Design Manual.
(ii) Minimum RRv and Treatment of Remaining Total WQv: Construction
activities that cannot meet the criteria in Part I.C.2.a.(i) of this permit
due to site limitations shall direct runoff from all newly constructed
impervious areas to a RR technique or standard SMP with RRv
capacity unless infeasible. The specific site limitations that prevent the
reduction of 100% of the WQv shall be documented in the SWPPP.
(Part I.C.2.a.ii)
5
For each impervious area that is not directed to a RR technique or
standard SMP with RRv capacity, the SWPPP must include
documentation which demonstrates that all options were considered
and for each option explains why it is considered infeasible.
In no case shall the runoff reduction achieved from the newly
constructed impervious areas be less than the Minimum RRv as
calculated using the criteria in Section 4.3 of the Design Manual.
The remaining portion of the total WQv that cannot be reduced shal l be
treated by application of standard SMPs.
(iii) Channel Protection Volume (“Cpv”): Provide 24 hour extended
detention of the post-developed 1-year, 24-hour storm event;
remaining after runoff reduction. The Cpv requirement does not apply
when:
(1) Reduction of the entire Cpv is achieved by application of runoff
reduction techniques or infiltration systems, or
(2) The site discharges directly to tidal waters, or fifth order or larger
streams.
(iv) Overbank Flood Control Criteria (“Qp”): Requires storage to attenuate
the post-development 10-year, 24-hour peak discharge rate (Qp) to
predevelopment rates. The Qp requirement does not apply when:

streams, or
(2) A downstream analysis reveals that overbank control is not
required.
b. Sizing Criteria for New Development in Enhanced Phosphorus
Removal Watershed
(i) Runoff Reduction Volume (RRv): Reduce the total Water Quality
Volume (WQv) by application of RR techniques and standard SMPs
with RRv capacity. The total WQv is the runoff volume from the 1 -year,
24 hour design storm over the post-developed watershed and shall be
(Part I.C.2.b.i)
6
calculated in accordance with the criteria in Section 10.3 of the Design
Manual.
(ii) Minimum RRv and Treatment of Remaining Total WQv: Construction
activities that cannot meet the criteria in Part I.C.2.b.(i) of this permit
due to site limitations shall direct runoff from all newly constructed
impervious areas to a RR technique or standard SMP with RRv
capacity unless infeasible. The specific site limitations that prevent the
reduction of 100% of the WQv shall be documented in the SWPPP.
For each impervious area that is not directed to a RR technique or
standard SMP with RRv capacity, the SWPPP must include
documentation which demonstrates that all options were considered
and for each option explains why it is considered infeasible.
In no case shall the runoff reduction achieved from the newly
constructed impervious areas be less than the Minimum RRv as
calculated using the criteria in Section 10.3 of the Design Manual.
The remaining portion of the total WQv that cannot be reduced shall be
treated by application of standard SMPs.
(iii) Channel Protection Volume (Cpv): Provide 24 hour extended detention
of the post-developed 1-year, 24-hour storm event; remaining after
runoff reduction. The Cpv requirement does not apply when:
(1) Reduction of the entire Cpv is achieved by application of runoff
reduction techniques or infiltration systems, or
(2) The site discharges directly to tidal waters, or fifth order or larger
streams.
(iv) Overbank Flood Control Criteria (Qp): Requires storage to attenuate
the post-development 10-year, 24-hour peak discharge rate (Qp) to
predevelopment rates. The Qp requirement does not apply when:
(1) the site discharges directly to tidal waters or fifth order or larger
streams, or
(2) A downstream analysis reveals that overbank control is not
required.
(v) Extreme Flood Control Criteria (Qf): Requires storage to attenuate the
post-development 100-year, 24-hour peak discharge rate (Qf) to
predevelopment rates. The Qf requirement does not apply when:
(1) the site discharges directly to tidal waters or fifth order or larger
streams, or
(2) A downstream analysis reveals that overbank control is not
required.
(Part I.C.2.c)

c. Sizing Criteria for Redevelopment Activity
(i) Water Quality Volume (WQv): The WQv treatment objective for
redevelopment activity shall be addressed by one of the following
options. Redevelopment activities located in an Enhanced Phosphorus
Removal Watershed (see Part III.B.3. and Appendix C of this permit)
shall calculate the WQv in accordance with Section 10.3 of the Design
Manual. All other redevelopment activities shall calculate the WQv in
accordance with Section 4.2 of the Design Manual.
(1) Reduce the existing impervious cover by a minimum of 25% of the
total disturbed, impervious area. The Soil Restoration criteria in
Section 5.1.6 of the Design Manual must be applied to all newly
created pervious areas, or
(2) Capture and treat a minimum of 25% of the WQv from the disturbed,
impervious area by the application of standard SMPs; or reduce 25%
of the WQv from the disturbed, impervious area by the application of
RR techniques or standard SMPs with RRv capacity., or
(3) Capture and treat a minimum of 75% of the WQv from the disturbed,
impervious area as well as any additional runoff from tributary areas
by application of the alternative practices discussed in Sections 9.3
and 9.4 of the Design Manual., or
(4) Application of a combination of 1, 2 and 3 above that provide a
weighted average of at least two of the above methods. Application
of this method shall be in accordance with the criteria in Section
9.2.1(B) (IV) of the Design Manual.
If there is an existing post-construction stormwater management
practice located on the site that captures and treats runoff from the
impervious area that is being disturbed, the WQv treatment option
selected must, at a minimum, provide treatment equal to the treatment
that was being provided by the existing practice(s) if that treatment is
greater than the treatment required by options 1 – 4 above.
(ii) Channel Protection Volume (Cpv): Not required if there are n o
changes to hydrology that increase the discharge rate from the project
site.
(iii) Overbank Flood Control Criteria (Qp): Not required if there are no
changes to hydrology that increase the discharge rate from the project
site.
(iv) Extreme Flood Control Criteria (Qf): Not required if there are no
changes to hydrology that increase the discharge rate from the project
site
(Part I.C.2.d)

d. Sizing Criteria for Combination of Redevelopment Activity and New
Development
Construction projects that include both New Development and Redevelopment
Activity shall provide post-construction stormwater management controls that
meet the sizing criteria calculated as an aggregate of the Sizing Criteria in Part
I.C.2.a. or b. of this permit for the New Development portion of the project and
Part I.C.2.c of this permit for Redevelopment Activity portion of the project.
D. Maintaining Water Quality
The Department expects that compliance with the conditions of this permit will control
discharges necessary to meet applicable water quality standards. It shall be a violation
of the ECL for any discharge to either cause or contribute to a violation of water quality
standards as contained in Parts 700 through 705 of Title 6 of the Official Comp ilation of
Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York, such as:
1. There shall be no increase in turbidity that will cause a substantial visible contrast
to natural conditions;
2. There shall be no increase in suspended, colloidal or settleable solids that will
cause deposition or impair the waters for their best usages; and
3. There shall be no residue from oil and floating substances, nor visible oil film, nor
globules of grease.
If there is evidence indicating that the stormwater discharges authorized by this permit
are causing, have the reasonable potential to cause, or are contributing to a violation of
the water quality standards; the owner or operator must take appropriate corrective
action in accordance with Part IV.C.5. of this general permit and document in
accordance with Part IV.C.4. of this general permit. To address the water quality
standard violation the owner or operator may need to provide additional information,
include and implement appropriate controls in the SWPPP to correct the problem, or
obtain an individual SPDES permit.
If there is evidence indicating that despite compliance with the terms and conditions of
this general permit it is demonstrated that the stormwater discharges authorized by this
permit are causing or contributing to a violation of water quality standards, or if the
Department determines that a modification of the permit is necessary to prevent a
violation of water quality standards, the authorized discharges will no longer be eligible
for coverage under this permit. The Department may require the owner or operator to
obtain an individual SPDES permit to continue discharging.

standards in place at the time of initial project authorization. However, they
must comply with the other, non-design provisions of GP-0-20-001.
F. Change of Owner or Operator
1. When property ownership changes or when there is a change in operational
control over the construction plans and specifications, the original owner or
operator must notify the new owner or operator, in writing, of the requirement to
obtain permit coverage by submitting a NOI with the Department. For
construction activities subject to the requirements of a regulated, traditional
land use control MS4, the original owner or operator must also notify the MS4,
in writing, of the change in ownership at least 30 calendar days prior to the
change in ownership.
2. Once the new owner or operator obtains permit coverage, the original owner or
operator shall then submit a completed NOT with the name and permit
identification number of the new owner or operator to the Department at the
address in Part II.B.1. of this permit. If the original owner or operator maintains
ownership of a portion of the construction activity and will disturb soil, they must
maintain their coverage under the permit.
3. Permit coverage for the new owner or operator will be effective as of the date
the Department receives a complete NOI, provided the original owner or
(Part II.F.3)
18
operator was not subject to a sixty (60) business day authorization period that
has not expired as of the date the Department receives the NOI from the new
owner or operator.
Part III. STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN (SWPPP)
A. General SWPPP Requirements
1. A SWPPP shall be prepared and implemented by the owner or operator of
each construction activity covered by this permit. The SWPPP must document
the selection, design, installation, implementation and maintenance of the
control measures and practices that will be used to meet the effluent limitations
in Part I.B. of this permit and where applicable, the post-construction
stormwater management practice requirements in Part I.C. of this permit. The
SWPPP shall be prepared prior to the submittal of the NOI. The NOI shall be
submitted to the Department prior to the commencement of construction
activity. A copy of the completed, final NOI shall be included in the SWPPP.
2. The SWPPP shall describe the erosion and sediment control practices and
where required, post-construction stormwater management practices that will
be used and/or constructed to reduce the pollutants in stormwater discharges
and to assure compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. In
addition, the SWPPP shall identify potential sources of pollution which may
reasonably be expected to affect the quality of stormwater discharges.
3. All SWPPPs that require the post-construction stormwater management
practice component shall be prepared by a qualified professional that is
knowledgeable in the principles and practices of stormwater management and
treatment.
4. The owner or operator must keep the SWPPP current so that it at all times
accurately documents the erosion and sediment controls practices that are
being used or will be used during construction, and all post-construction
stormwater management practices that will be constructed on the site. At a
minimum, the owner or operator shall amend the SWPPP, including
construction drawings:
a. whenever the current provisions prove to be ineffective in minimizing
pollutants in stormwater discharges from the site;
(Part III.A.4.b)
19
b. whenever there is a change in design, construction, or operation at the
construction site that has or could have an effect on the discharge of
pollutants;
c. to address issues or deficiencies identified during an inspection by the
qualified inspector, the Department or other regulatory authority; and
d. to document the final construction conditions.
5. The Department may notify the owner or operator at any time that the SWPPP
does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of this permit. The
notification shall be in writing and identify the provisions of the SWPPP that
require modification. Within fourteen (14) calendar days of such notificati on, or
as otherwise indicated by the Department, the owner or operator shall make
the required changes to the SWPPP and submit written notification to the
Department that the changes have been made. If the owner or operator does
not respond to the Department’s comments in the specified time frame, the
Department may suspend the owner’s or operator’s coverage under this permit
or require the owner or operator to obtain coverage under an individual SPDES
permit in accordance with Part II.D.4. of this permit.
6. Prior to the commencement of construction activity, the owner or operator must
identify the contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) that will be responsible for
installing, constructing, repairing, replacing, inspecting and maintaining the
erosion and sediment control practices included in the SWPPP; and the
contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) that will be responsible for constructing the
post-construction stormwater management practices included in the SWPPP.
The owner or operator shall have each of the contractors and subcontractors
identify at least one person from their company that will be responsible for
implementation of the SWPPP. This person shall be known as the trained
contractor. The owner or operator shall ensure that at least one trained
contractor is on site on a daily basis when soil disturbance activities are being
performed.
The owner or operator shall have each of the contractors and subcontractors
identified above sign a copy of the following certification statement below
before they commence any construction activity:
"I hereby certify under penalty of law that I understand and agree to comply
with the terms and conditions of the SWPPP and agree to implement any
corrective actions identified by the qualified inspector during a site
inspection. I also understand that the owner or operator must comply with
(Part III.A.6)
20
the terms and conditions of the most current version of the New York State
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("SPDES") general permit for
stormwater discharges from construction activities and that it is unlawful for
any person to cause or contribute to a violation of water quality standards.
Furthermore, I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting
false information, that I do not believe to be true, including the possibility of
fine and imprisonment for knowing violations"

I. Introduction
The applicant, THBC NY, LLC. is proposing to develop a ±10.7-acre site within the City of
Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County, New York. The project site is located at 3376 US Route 9 (South
Broadway), approximately ±1,300 feet south of the intersection with Crescent Ave and is currently
developed with portions of paved parking. A new 2-story, ±22,778 sf microproduction brewery
and three pavilions are proposed along with new patio seating, parking facilities, utility
connections, stormwater management facilities, and other appurtenances as depicted on the
Proposed Site Plan Documents prepared by Bohler, dated November 30, 2023, no revisions listed.
This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared as required by the
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation SPDES General Permit for Stormwater
Discharges from Construction Activity Permit No. GP-0-20-001.
This report will briefly discuss the proposed site development and provide a detailed analysis
of the existing and proposed site conditions and the proposed stormwater management system.
Hydraulic calculations included in this report were generated for the 1, 10 and 100 year storm
events utilizing the SCS TR-20 and HydroCad Stormwater modeling software.
II. Existing Stormwater Conditions
a. Existing Stormwater Conditions Summary
The existing overall ±10.7- acre parcel is currently undeveloped except for a small area
of paved parking and consists primarily of wooded and grassed areas. Based on the survey, the
majority of stormwater from the site sheet flows overland in a southeasterly direction towards
the existing wetlands located along the easterly property boundary. These wetlands eventually
discharge into the Kayaderosseras Creek, tributary to Saratoga Lake.
For analysis purposes, the project has been analyzed as one (1) watershed to
demonstrate tributary flows; Watershed EX-1.
Watershed EX-1 consists of stormwater flows associated with the entirety of the
property, and primarily consists of brush and grassed areas, wooded areas, a small area of
existing paved parking and wetlands. Stormwater from this area sheet flows overland to the
existing wetlands located along the easterly side of the subject site; designated as Design Point
1.
The existing watershed areas and topography are illustrated on the Existing Drainage
Tributary Map included on the next page of this report.

III. Proposed Stormwater Conditions
a. Proposed Stormwater Conditions Summary
The proposed development will create new impervious areas while implementing new
buildings, parking, utilities, and stormwater management facilities along with other
appurtenances. Stormwater is proposed to be treated onsite and discharged in a way to mimic
the existing drainage patterns while treating the water for quality and reducing the discharge flow
rate from the pre-developed conditions as required and set forth in the 2015 NYSDEC Stormwater
Design Manual.
This project includes the redevelopment of ±0.4 acres of existing pavement, which is classified
by the NYSDEC as a redevelopment activity. The total impervious cover for the proposed project
will be ±4.9 acres, resulting in ±4.5 acres of new impervious cover. Per Section 9.2.1.B.II, the plan
proposes that a minimum of 25% of the water quality volume from the disturbed, impervious area
and 100% of the new impervious area is captured and treated by a standard SMP, or ±4.6 acres
total. The majority of the proposed impervious cover, including the proposed buildings, parking
areas and drive aisles, totaling ±4.7 acres, is sent to the proposed stormwater management
facilities for treatment.
In order to analyze the proposed stormwater conditions, the project site has been designed
with the same watershed as described in the existing conditions above and has been designated
as Watershed PR-1, as depicted on the Proposed Drainage Tributary Map following this section of
the report. Watershed PR-1 has been further divided into six (6) sub catchments – namely PR-1A,
PR-1B, PR-1C, PR-1D, PR-1E and PR-1F. The watersheds have unique flow paths and therefore
have been analyzed individually.
Subcatchment PR-1A consists of the wooded areas and wetlands at the easterly side of the
site. This area also includes a portion of the neighboring site to the south and surrounding existing
greenspace areas. Stormwater flows associated with this area sheet flow overland to the existing
wetlands on-site, designated as DP1, similar to existing conditions.
Subcatchments PR-1B is comprised of a portion of the proposed visitor parking area and drive
aisle along the southerly side of the site that sheet flows into sections of porous pavement where
the stormwater is treated for quality and quantity. The porous pavement is designed per the
requirements set forth by the NYSDEC Stormwater Design Manual. Stormwater above and beyond
the WQv and capacity of the porous pavement will be discharged to the existing wetlands, similar
to existing conditions.
Subcatchment PR-1C is comprised of the southern half of the proposed building, the proposed
ingress access drive and some proposed walkways and surrounding greenspace. Stormwater from
the building will flow into roof drains and will be directed to proposed aboveground infiltration
basins where stormwater will be treated for quality and quantity. Stormwater above and beyond
the WQv and capacity of the infiltration system will be discharged to a proposed swale that leads
to the existing wetlands, similar to existing conditions.
Page | 5
Subcatchment PR-1D is comprised of a portion of the parking area along the frontage of the
building and a proposed dry swale. Stormwater from the pavement portions sheet flow to a gravel
diaphragm and into a proposed dry swale where it is treated for quality and quantity. Upon
reaching the system’s capacity, stormwater will discharge out to the proposed infiltration basin
located to the south.
Subcatchment PR-1E is comprised of the northern half of the proposed building, a portion of
the proposed parking areas and associated access drive, the loading dock area and surrounding
wooded and grassed areas. Stormwater from the building will flow into roof drains and will be
directed to a proposed infiltration basin where stormwater will be treated for quality and
quantity. Stormwater from the remainder of the catchment area will sheet flow into the proposed
infiltration basin. Stormwater above and beyond the WQv and capacity of the basin will be
discharged to a dry swale and eventually into the wetlands, similar to existing conditions.
Subcatchment PR-1F is comprised of the three proposed pavilion buildings, parking areas and
drive aisles to the north and east of the building, along with patio seating areas, gravel pathways
and surrounding grassed areas. Stormwater from these areas travel via sheet flow to a proposed
swale and eventually to a proposed stormwater basin where it is treated and detained. Upon
reaching capacity, the basin discharges via an emergency spillway to the existing wetlands. The
basin is also equipped with a low flow orifice to be released at a controlled rate to the existing
wetlands, as it does today.
As designed, the Stormwater management systems provide the required quality and
quantity treatment for the project, as set forth in the 2015 New York State DEC Stormwater
Management Design Manual. All calculations, flow rates, and modeling are a part of this report
and have been included herein.
The majority of stormwater from developed areas of the site will be diverted to several
proposed treatment systems located throughout the site. The proposed stormwater systems have
been designed with sufficient capacity to provide WQv treatment and detention and to mitigate
off-site discharge rates to below existing conditions for all subject storm events. The underground
infiltration systems have been designed per the NYSDEC Stormwater Management Design Manual
for infiltration systems.
The proposed watershed areas, topography and flow paths are illustrated on the
Proposed Drainage Tributary Map, included on the following page of this report.

IV. Conclusion
The proposed development has been designed with a stormwater management system that meets or
exceeds the objectives set forth in the 2015 NYSDEC Stormwater Management Design Manual by
providing stormwater quality and quantity treatment practices. Uniform sizing criteria were calculated as
follows:
The 90% Rule Water Quality Volume (WQv) is discharged to infiltration treatment
practices (I-2) and dry swales (O-1). All practices have been designed per the
requirements set forth by the NYSDEC.
Runoff Reduction Volume (RRv) requirement has been achieved by exceeding the
minimum required RRv in the proposed infiltration systems, dry swales and a section
of porous pavement (RR-9).
Channel Protection (Cpv) was calculated using the 24-hour extended detention of post
developed 1year, 24 hour storm event.
Overbank Flood (Qp) protection was designed to control the peak discharge from the
10-year storm to the 10-year predevelopment rates. These calculations can be found
in the 10-year storm analysis for each watershed and the total stormwater discharge
comparison chart included in the report.
Extreme Storm (Qf) protection was designed to control the peak discharge from the
100-year storm to rates less than the 100-year predevelopment rates. These
calculations can be found in the 100-year storm analysis for each watershed and the
total stormwater discharge comparison chart included in the report.
The proposed stormwater management system, as designed, will serve to mitigate the effects of
the development of the parcel, such that the proposed use will not adversely affect any downstream or
adjacent properties. Significant stormwater quality and quantity improvements to the existing condition
are proposed as part of this redevelopment project. These improvements are expected to not only meet
but significantly exceed the objectives set forth in the NYSDEC Stormwater Management Design Manual.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nrcs142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and
Custom Soil Resource Report

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil
line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed
scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.

Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.

The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor
shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,

onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.
