Application for Quantity and Quality Waiver

The City of Baltimore Department of Public Works is accepting public review and comments on this project’s application for quantity and quality waiver. If granted, the waiver would allow construction of this project to be governed by the rules and requirements of Baltimore City’s Ordinance 10-277.

Applicant: Baltimore City Mayor and City Council 100 N. Holliday St, Baltimore MD 21202

Project Description: The Baltimore City Department of Public Works is proposing to replace the aging existing underground water main pipelines with ductile iron pipelines. Water main replacement will include some water house connections up to the water meter. All affected water mains and appurtenances will be replaced. Streets affected include: Greenmount Ave from the northern entrance to York Ct. #1 to E. 39th St., York Court #1, York Court #2, and York Court #3.

In order to meet the 2007 Baltimore City SWM Ordinance requirements for the proposed improvements, waivers for stormwater management water quality and quantity control are requested. The project is a pipeline project which will not create any new impervious surfaces and all disturbed area will be returned to its original condition therefore a water quality waiver is requested. Water quantity waivers are requested since the project runoff is captured and conveyed through public storm drain systems into tidal waters.
