The applicant shall review this checklist and sign at the end of the document to ensure that the submitted plans are in accordance with these standards. Incomplete plans or plans submitted without the signed checklist will be returned to the applicant without review. All sheets required for the project construction, including any off-site improvements, shall be included in the review submittal.
______1.   Sheets shall be 36” x 24” plan and profile paper (plan over profile). Roadway, storm drainage, and utility design shall be shown on the same plan sheet.
______2.   Scale on plan view shall be 1” = 50’; scale on profile view shall be 1” = 50’ horizontally and 1” = 5’ vertically using a grid showing 1’ intervals.
______3.   Plans must be tied to the State Plane Coordinate System for all horizontal data and NAVD 88 for all vertical data. No assumed elevations may be used.
______4.   All elevations shall be given in relation to mean sea level; elevations in profile view shall be labeled in 10’ intervals on the heavy lines (Ex: 780, 790).
______5.   Cover sheet shall include name, telephone number and address of owner, developer or responsible person. Cover sheet shall include name of firm preparing the plans, address, and phone number. Cover sheet shall have a sheet index and a location map with scale a minimum of l”=100’. Proposed streets, street names, and lot numbers should be shown on the cover sheet.

______7.   Plan view shall have a north arrow on each drawing.
______8.   Each drawing shall have the following information in the title block: Street or project title, limits, horizontal and vertical scales, original date, revisions date, drawing number, checked by and drawn by. Recommended placement is lower right-hand corner.

______13.   All tax pin numbers, lot numbers, driveways and parking lots shall be shown on plan view. Houses, building numbers and property owners shall be shown on existing property. Existing and proposed buildings shall be shown as necessary, especially when utility lines run close to these structures.
______14.   Plan view shall show all actual street names. State road numbers shall be shown if applicable. Plan view should indicate whether existing streets are asphalt, concrete, gravel or dirt.

Short storm lines outside of right-of-way only require centerline elevation at the end of pipe on the plan view instead of showing an additional profile of the storm pipe.
______18.   Profile view shall include existing centerline grade, and right and left grade profiles fifty feet (50’) off centerline as well as proposed centerline and centerline elevations. If the lots are to be graded by the developer, a final grading plan can be submitted in place of right and left grade profiles.

Supporting calculations shall include but are not limited to drainage area delineation maps, pipe sizing, culvert headwater depths, inlet capacity, inlet spread, sanitary sewer basin studies, and storm water quality and runoff calculations.
______32.   All plans for review shall be submitted with a cover letter stating the project name and the reason for the submittal. For re-submittals, cover letters shall state that all comments have been addressed, or shall list specific comments not addressed with an explanation as to why the comment was not addressed.

The NCDENR Storm water SCM Manual shall be used as a guide and be considered the minimum acceptable inspection and maintenance program for each separate SCM facility designed.
______34.   The final plat and construction drawings cover sheet shall have a chart delineating the land area distribution including the impervious area for the project with the maximum and permitted impervious surface as per the zoning ordinance.
COMPLETENESS CERTIFICATION
I, ______________________________, P.E. have reviewed the attached plans prepared under my supervision. Furthermore, I certify that the plans, along with supporting calculations, and SCM/SWM inspection and maintenance programs are in conformance with this checklist, the design standards, and are adequate for construction plan review.
 
   (B)   Mapping standards.
      (1)   The following are the standards of maps to be submitted as part of the subdivision process. These standards are intended to be general, and the subdivider may be required to file fewer or more maps, or to provide less or more information depending on the circumstances of the particular case. As a general rule, the requirements for the sketch plan can be considered to be more general in application whereas those for the final plat can be considered more specific in application.
