(A) Adequate provisions shall be made to prevent any surface waters from damaging the cut face of an excavation or the sloping surface of a fill. All drainage provisions shall be of such design as to carry surface waters to the nearest practical street, storm drain or natural watercourse approved by the Engineer as a safe place to deposit and receive such waters, or to permit the flow of surface waters onto adjoining property in its normal manner, direction, location and volume. The Engineer may require such drainage structures or facilities to be constructed or installed which, in the opinion of the Engineer, are necessary to prevent erosion damage and to satisfactorily carry off surface waters.
(B) Where pads or terraces are constructed, surface drainage shall not be permitted to sheet flow over the lower slope. Such drainage shall be carried laterally across the pad or terrace. When required by the City Engineer, terraces shall be paved.
