Topo Site Survey and Topo Site Plan
TeamAg Inc. will use GPS Engineering precision survey equipment to survey the area where the proposed operation is to be constructed, and collect all of the information required for the site plan. This information is used for township or state permits, manure storage designs or Erosion and Sediment Control Planning.
Land Development and State Permits
Each township varies in their requirements for land development. TeamAg can provide an estimated cost for providing land development plans, which meet township requirements after reviewing their zoning and land development ordinances.
Stormwater Management Plans
For earth disturbance greater than 1 acre, an E&S Plan needs to be approved by the County Conservation District and meet all of the requirements of Chapter 102. This plan will show proposed grading, drainage, and E&S controls, including estimated earthwork volumes, and required narrative report with calculations.
Site-Specific Design for Manure Storage Facilities
DEP Manure Management Manual and the NM regulations require a site-specific design for all manure storage facilities. A PE-sealed drawing, provided by the contractor, is only one part of this design. The site-specific design will include a Geo-technical soils investigation (i.e. test pits), Design Engineer's report with Operation & Maintenance Plan, plans showing cross-sections, and details for the perimeter drains.
Site Plan with E&S Controls, Drainage and Grading Plan and Earthwork Volume Calculations
For earth disturbance under 1 acre, using information from Topo Site Plan, this plan will show E&S controls, drainage, and grading plan, but without the documentation required for the NPDES permit.
Hydro-geology Work
Often DEP or the local township will require hydro-geological assessments to determine the impacts of a new expansion. Townships often want to know the impact on neighboring wells from a new well. DEP sometimes requires groundwater monitoring wells for livestock expansions. TeamAg can make arrangements with local hydro-geologists for these assessments.
Professional Engineer Certification of Existing Manure Storage Facilities
Quality Assurance During Construction of Manure Storage Facilities
Nutrient Management regulations require that both the contractor and Professional Engineer certify that a manure storage facility be certified that it was built according to the design and according to the PA Technical Guide. During the course of construction TeamAg staff will make approximately four to five site inspections for each manure storage facility, and a final inspection in order to sign off on the Post Construction Certification.
Construction Stake-out
After the design is completed, TeamAg will take the design data and accurately stakeout building corners and manure storage facilities using GPS survey equipment.
