Alexander Crossing – SIA
PROJECT NARRITIVE
1.1 Project Overview
EDENS LAND has been retained to evaluate existing and proposed storm water drainage for
Alexander Crossing. The existing site is vacant property, the proposed development will be
apartments.

The project site is located on 8.91 acres in Durham, NC. The address is 405 T.W. Alexander Drive,
Durham NC 27703.

Figure 1: Aerial Image (Source: Bing Maps)

The site will consist of private parking with curb & gutter, sidewalks, stormwater SCM, sanitary sewer
and water main extensions, landscaping improvements, and earth moving activities.

Drainage area routed to the SCM will have the 100 year flow bypass the SCM via a weir controlled
flow splitter. The flow splitter will have a weir within a concrete junction box that will divert flows
above the 10 year ponding level of the pond over the weir within the flow splitter to the bypass
outlet. Details and further analysis will be provided at the construction drawing phase.
