assumed show this and make sure that governing agency will allow assumed
benchmarks, otherwise get with surveyor of record and obtain sea level datum.
Show existing contour lines 1 foot intervals.
Show finish contours 1 foot interval on all slopes less than 10%
(landscape area over 10% use 2 contours)
Asphalt preferred slopes between 1.5-3.5% but in no cases less than 1.0% or over 5%
unless authorized by PE and disclosed to client
Are Finish Contours connected to Existing Contours?
Max slope of landscape where matching existing contour 2:1 but 3:1 unless authorized by
Landscape Architect.
Show spot elevations needed for construction surveying.
Ridges must be labeled and spot elevations shown along ridges.

lots.
Is slope of landscaping a min of 1.5 %? If not what is min.? Anything under 1.5% must be
approved by PE.
Show swales or berms details (no storm drainage is allowed to adjacent lots)
Show correct rainfall intensities (ie: 10 year, 50 year, 100 year etc..).Drainage
calculations varies per City requirements.
Show Detention/Retention - if required (ie: 0.2cfs/acre, 0.1cfs.acre, etc)

occurs and pipes and slopes are adequate.(Not applicable on small projects)
Show building Finished Floor elevation.

basins, etc., make sure detail of boxes is large enough for size of pipe specified but not
larger than needed) and pipes (pipe sizes, pipe type, slope of pipe, invert elevation of
pipes). If pipe type is HDPE add note ADS N-12 or approve equal with soil tight joints
If concrete is used, specify RCP class III.

Make sure all pipes have a min. of 1 of cover over the top of the pipe. (Some cities
require more then 1 of cover over HDPE check with city engineering department to
confirm if there is a min. cover).
Make sure all boxes are big enough to fit the pipes (double check the detail of the box).
Verify all slopes flow downstream to an exit. Make sure a note is near the area where
new storm drain is connecting to existing storm drain that the contractor is to begin at the
low end of all gravity utility lines and verify the invert elevation of the point of connection
and notify engineer if this point is higher than shown on plans for redesign.
Determine if building is slab on grade or if it has a basement. If slab on grade, is then 0.5
from FFE to Finish Grade? If basement, is finish grade at least 1.5 below FFE? If not, is
joist hung?

needed.
Show any irrigation piping that is needed using similar requirements as mentioned for
storm drainage system above.
Provide detail of detention ponds, show restrictive orifice plates, show snout, Bay
Save, or other storm water best management practices.
If snout is being used, the bottom of the catch basin needs to be 3 lower than invert
elevation for 12 pipes, or 4 lower than invert elevation for 15-18 pipes. If pipe is larger
than 18, then the bottom of the catch basin needs to be 2.5X-3X the pipe diameter lower
than invert elevation.
