DDSE – Residential Site Design

DDS Engineers has designed numerous residential developments, ranging from single and two-lot subdivisions to larger, multi-phase developments, both in areas where individual wastewater treatment systems were required as well as in areas where sewer was available. We have extensive knowledge of the municipal approval process, as well as county, state, and federal permitting and approval procedures. Negotiating these approvals is a key component to completing your project in a timely fashion.

In most municipalities in New York State, a subdivision map will need to be prepared and filed at the county clerk’s office. We can provide the required boundary and topographic surveys in conjunction with preparing the subdivision design plans. In areas where sanitary sewers do not exist, we can design individual sanitary disposal systems. In areas where sanitary sewers are available, we can design utility extensions for existing sanitary sewers, as well as public water systems.

In major developments where the design of public roadways will be required, we will prepare plan and profile sheets for municipal approval. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan will typically be required for submittal to both the municipal engineer as well as the NYSDEC. Our design team has extensive experience in developing SWPPP’s that utilize a common sense approach to addressing the NYSDEC requirements, with standard structures and easily maintainable controls.

During construction, it will be necessary to retain the services of a qualified professional to perform weekly inspections of the construction practices to ensure compliance with the NYSDEC Phase II Stormwater Regulations. DDS can provide these services as well as other traditional construction inspection or monitoring services.
