Quad Sheets are ideal for this purpose.) Compliance with copyright law is the responsibility of the Consultant Engineer, from the upper end of said basins to defined major drainageways. The map shall identify any major facilities form the property (i.e., development, irrigation ditches, existing detention facilities, culverts and storm sewers) along the flow path to the nearest drainageway. Basins and divides are to be identified and topographic contours are to be included.

1. Existing (dashed lines) and, if available, proposed (solid-line) topographic contours at two-feet maximum intervals. In terrain where the slope exceeds 15%, the maximum interval is ten feet. The contours shall extend a minimum of 100-feet beyond the property lines, unless otherwise authorized by the Director;
2. Property lines and easements with purposes noted;
3. All existing drainage facilities;
4. Approximate flooding limits based on available information;

11. Title block in lower right corner; and
12. North arrow, graphic and written scale and written contour interval.
(B) Phase II drainage report.
(1) The purpose of this report is to finalize all design details which were either not covered in the Phase I drainage report, or which require adjustments resulting from the completion of the construction plans. All aspects of this design for all drainage facilities must be shown and supported in detail. Phase II reports are typically required at final plan stage.
(2) In addition to the Phase I drainage report requirements, the following will be required in the Phase II drainage report.

2. Development criteria reference and constraints.
a. Previous drainage studies (i.e., project master plans) for the site in question that influence or are influenced by the drainage design and how the pan will affect drainage design for the site;
b. The effects of adjacent drainage studies; and
c. The drainage impact of site constraints such as streets, utilities, rapid transit, existing structures and development or site plan.
3. Hydrological criteria.
a. Identify design rainfall;
b. Identify runoff calculation method; and
c. Identify detention discharge and storage calculation method.
4. Identify design storm recurrence intervals. Discussion and justification of other criteria or calculation methods used that are not presented in or referenced by the regulations;
