Prior to performing testing and developing a detailed site plan, existing site conditions should be inventoried and mapped including, but not limited to:
Prior to performing testing and developing a detailed site plan, existing site conditions should be inventoried and mapped including, but not limited to:
#Surficial geology and underlying stratigraphy;
#Watercourses (perennial and intermittent), water bodies, wetlands and floodplains;
#Small headwater drainage features;
#Topography, slope, and drainage patterns;
#Existing land cover and land use;
#Natural heritage conservation areas; and
#Other man-made features or conditions that may impact design such as existing nearby structures (buildings, infrastructure, etc.).
A sketch plan or preliminary layout plan for the proposed development should be evaluated, including:
A sketch plan or preliminary layout plan for the proposed development should be evaluated, including:
#The preliminary grading plan and areas of cut and fill;
#The location and water surface elevation of all existing, and location of proposed water supply sources and wells;
#The location of all existing and proposed on-site wastewater (septic) systems;
#The location of other features of note such as utility rights-of-way, water and sewer lines, etc.;
#Existing data from borehole, well and geophysical testing; and
#Proposed location of development features (buildings, roads, utilities, etc.).
