Drainage report content and format requirements can be found in chapter 10 of the DSSDR as well. It will be required that the finished floor elevation be determined, as well as floodplain limits and possible erosion hazard setbacks associated with Santa Cruz River.
4. A grading plan with cut/fill quantities and area of disturbance will be required. TSM 2-01.0.0. If acres of disturbance is greater than one acre, A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and dust control permit will be required for this development. The grading plan should have the floodplain limits delineated.
