Project Description:

This project proposes to disturb 0.4 acres of land and increase the amount of impervious area by 0.0 acres. The project will consist of upgrading 4 electric transformer oil containment systems with 4 new fire quenching/oil retention pits. This project does not involve the replacement of electric transformers themselves, just the oil containment features associated with the transformers. 

The Applicant has also applied for a qualitative control waiver for this project, in accordance with City Code Article 7, Division II, § 23-2.  The project will return the disturbed area to the predevelopment runoff condition and relates to maintenance and underground utility activities occurring on existing BGE electric infrastructure.  The Applicant has demonstrated that 0.4 acres of the project’s disturbed area will be returned to existing runoff conditions; therefore, the stormwater management requirements have been reduced for this portion of the project.

To obtain information or send comments specifically about this qualitative control waiver request, please contact Brian Halford, DPW - Plans Review and Inspections Section at Room 227, 3001 Druid Park Drive, Baltimore, MD 21215, (410-396-0732) or by e-mail to dpw.plansreview@baltimorecity.gov.  Comments received after 4:30 PM, June 5th, 2026  will not be considered.
