Storm Water Brief

Please provide the proposed SWM mitigation measures along with the supporting calculations. Any infiltration type design should be supported by groundwater and soil infiltration rate information prepared by a Geotechnical Engineer. The SWM calculation must demonstrate that the post development drainage does not exceed the pre-development condition.
- Existing/proposed drainage pattern should be clearly shown with arrows. Drainage should be self-contained. Cut-off swales should be proposed where required.
Servicing
- Existing and proposed servicing info. Inverts at the property line should be provided. Existing services to be re-used where possible. Any existing services to be abandoned should be shown and labelled. Any restoration on road and boulevard due to new services should be identified.
