Proposed roof drains include size, type slope, and flow
Existing culverts, streams, channels, and detention ponds with proposed changes include typical section, erosion protection, permanent structures, freeboard, and access.
An overland release for storm water is provided for all sag points such that no structures would be flooded if the underground drain system were blocked or the capacity exceeded.
Detention areas and details are shown. This is to include spillways at a 3:1 maximum side slopes.
Subdrain system – Required if project fronts canal property, the geotechnical report indicates groundwater within the footing zone, or the area is known for a high groundwater table. Subsurface drains must lower groundwater levels to 3-feet below all basement levels. (To be maintained by Homeowner’s Association)
Existing irrigation ditches have been piped or abandoned as approved by the ditch master.
Existing irrigation tailwater ditches or sheet flow is properly conveyed through the property.
Erosion protection is provided for all cut and fill slopes.
Energy dissipaters are provided on the outfall of drain lines discharging into creeks and earthen channels capable of slowing velocities to 3-feet per second
Oil water separator system in place before it discharges into the city system.
Approval from County Flood Control – If the site is adjacent to a waterway needing maintenance by a government agency.
Approval from the Army Corps of Engineers – If the site is within or adjacent to any known wetlands.
