show they contain 23.18 acre-feet of retention storage and are maintained as required. These
temporary retention basins will remain in place until they are replaced by new retention basins which
will be constructed concurrent with the first phase. These new basins will provide 15.62 acre-feet of
storage to mitigate the deficit plus the additional volume required for onsite storage in Parcels 3 and
4 fulfilling the requirements of the development agreement. The proposed drywells depicted in the
mass grading plans will be modified once installation and testing is complete on the initial drywell,
