Current through March 20, 2024
Construction plans will include the following information:
001.01 The name or title of the project.
001.02 A vicinity map of the area around the project, with streets, highways, water bodies, and other landmarks shown, as necessary, to identity the location.
001.03 For sanitary sewer additions, the latitude/longitude location of the receiving manhole or furthest downstream manhole will be provided. For WWTF, the latitude/longitude of the head works or first treatment unit will be provided.
001.04 The scale of the drawings and a north arrow will be shown. The locations of soil borings, benchmarks, property lines, easements, and other datum will be shown.
001.05 The construction plans will include elevation, plan, detail, section, and supplemental drawings that, together with the specifications, completely describe the design of the proposed wastewater works.
001.06 Plans for upgrades to WWTF will show how the proposed project relates to the other treatment units in the existing facility. Projects to add additional lagoon cells to a lagoon system will show the existing and proposed control structures, piping, and discharge structures and identify which cells will be used as primary cells.
001.07 Plans for WWTF will include a hydraulic profile of the facility. Schematic flow diagrams showing the flow direction of wastewater, sludge, potable and non-potable water lines, chemical feed lines, and air supply lines through the treatment units will be provided for mechanical WWTF.
001.08 Plans for WWTF will show the normal high and low water levels of the receiving stream, the 100-year flood elevation, and the seasonal high ground water level.
001.09 Plans for WWTF will show the natural drainage ways around the treatment facility.
001.10 The location of all wells, water treatment plants, water storage reservoirs, and water mains in the construction area will be shown. Where a wastewater lagoon, lift station, or mechanical WWTF is proposed, all wells within 1000 feet will be shown. All wells within 50 feet of a proposed sanitary sewer will be shown. Community public water system wells will be identified as such.
001.11 Plans for lift stations will show the seasonal high ground water level and the 100-year flood elevation at the site.
001.12 Extensions or additions to sanitary sewer systems will show the location of the receiving manhole and identify the receiving WWTF.
001.13 Plans for sanitary sewers will include plan and profile drawings showing the continuous elevation of the ground surface, the station numbers, the pipe inverts at each manhole, and the diameter, length, pipe material (if specified), and slope of each sewer segment.
