Land Development and Drainage Engineering

submit what you think are 100%, I guarantee changes will need to be made

Having been both a consultant and employed as a municipal engineer the answer is easy -

Go ask.

Many jurisdictions have specific rules, guidelines and mandated approaches to stormwater. Often a pre-application meeting is available where the prescribed methods, (Santa Barbara, vs single event rain fall event etc) will be described. Usually timelines will also be provided upfront. They may even have brouchures or info on their web page.

Builiding a relationship with your reviewer will save untold re-designs because you didn't understand the criteria your design will be evaluated against by the regulating agency.

Thanks.

The website for these municipalities are not the greatest. Like you said I'm going to have to call someone and be transferred to 3 or 4 people until I get an answer. Usually what happens.

Classic "Catch 22".

I can't submit 100% plans because I don't know what the Pinelands Commission requirements are. But, if I go to the Pinelands Commission Office and get their drainage regulations, then I will know what the requirements are and then I will have to prepare drainage plans. I really don't want to know the requirements because then I'll have to prepare drainage plans.
