RECEIVE AN EMAIL
After submittal, you will receive an email notifying you of your permit number and the name and email of your inspector. Please reference the permit number in all future communications regarding your Drainage Review.
DRAINAGE REVIEW PROCESS
The inspector will conduct a desktop review to determine whether an onsite inspection is necessary. An onsite inspection may be done by the inspector alone, or in some cases, it may be necessary for the inspector to schedule a time to meet the applicant or someone knowledgeable about the build at the building site.
MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS
When the review is complete, a Mitigation Requirements document will be emailed to the applicant and/or landowner. This document will show the required fees, site specific mitigation requirements to be satisfied, and general mitigation provisions. You will need to submit this document to the Department of Building Safety when applying for the building permit.
FEE SUBMITTAL
The Department of Building Safety will collect all fees associated with the Drainage Review Permit as part of your building permit fees.
IMPORTANT NOTES
All Drainage Review Permit mitigation requirements must be satisfied before Building Safety will schedule your final inspection for occupancy.
FOR DRIVE CULVERTS, MITIGATION APPROVAL WILL NOT BE GIVEN WITHOUT A PLAN OR LETTER FROM A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER BEING RECEIVED BY THE SWCD OFFICE.
