1048.16 DRAINS UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE DRAIN COMMISSIONER.
   (a)   Drainage districts will not be altered when designing development drainage, except as provided under Section 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 "Wayne County Drain" or the appropriate inter-county drain as applicable. 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 appropriate county drain office prior to discharging into, tapping, or crossing any county or inter-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 Wayne County Drain permit office.
