Hunters did not have any system before the fire but were adding one to be able to rebuild. The planning board meetings are on Wolfeboro Community TV and can be accessed through You-Tube.

What they are doing is now required by Federal law. For development or re-development of a site, a Stormwater Management Plan is required. Post development runoff must be less than it was prior to development. Roof drains are directed to underground chambers that provide infiltration back into the ground. I would suspect that there will be significant drainage structures (catch basins) that will capture parking lot runoff as well.
