Sec. 52-17. Drains under the jurisdiction of the drain commissioner.
(a)   Drainage districts will not be altered when designing development drainage, except as provided under Sections 425 or 433 of Act 40, Public Act 1956 as amended.
(b)   Existing county drain easements will be indicated on the stormwater plan as well as the final stormwater bmp construction plans and will be designated as "Ingham County Drain". County drain easements prior to 1956 were not required by statute to be recorded immediately; therefore, it may be necessary to check the permanent records of the drain office to see if a drain easement is in existence on the subject property.
(c)   A permit will be obtained from the Ingham County drain commissioner's office prior to discharging into, tapping or crossing any county drain. The permit must be obtained prior to final plan approval.
(d)   Proposed relocations of county drains will be processed through the office of the drain commissioner.
