§ 30-282. Drainage plan requirements; all categories of development.
(a)
Drainage map. The project engineer shall include in the construction plans a master drainage map showing all existing and proposed features. The map is to be prepared on a twenty-four-inch by thirty-six-inch sheet on a scale not to exceed one (1) inch equals two hundred (200) feet. The following shall be included on the drainage map:
(1)
Drainage bounds, including all off-site areas draining to the proposed site.
(2)
Sufficient topographical information with elevations to verify the location of all ridges, streams, etc., (one-foot contour intervals).
(3)
High water data on existing structures upstream and downstream from the site.
(4)
Notes indicating sources of highway data.
(5)
Notes pertaining to existing standing water, area of heavy seepage, or springs.
(6)
Existing drainage features (ditches, roadways, pond, etc.). Existing drainage features are to be shown a minimum of one thousand (1,000) feet downstream of the proposed development, unless the ultimate outfall system is a lesser distance.
