(4)
Erosion protection. In all cases, runoff water shall
be directed away from the tops of the bank slopes of recharge basins
to prevent erosion and washouts. This may be accomplished by grading,
where possible, or by the installation of suitable inlets and piping
as directed by the Planning Board's authorized representative.
(5)
Fencing. Before excavating for a recharge basin, a
fence or suitable barrier shall be erected around the area of excavation
in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the Planning
Board's authorized representative as adequate to safeguard the public
or permanently fenced in accordance with the approved plat plan. Excavations,
slopes, ramps and grades leading to and surrounding the recharge basin
must be inspected and approved by the Planning Board's authorized
representative prior to the erection of the permanent fence. The permanent
fence, in accordance with these specifications, shall be set six feet
from the property line on the developer's property.
(6)
Planting. In all cases, a planting scheme will be
provided for approval by the Planning Board. The plantings will provide
screening of the fencing and area, will protect the area from erosion
and will provide protection from erosion on and of the faces of the
basin's sloped banks and any other excavated areas.
A.
Layout. The developer's engineer shall furnish accurate
line and grade stakes for all construction operations involving site
improvements and maintain accurate field checks to ensure correct
placement, according to approved line and grade, of all roads, curbs,
structures, monuments and engineering works of whatsoever nature prescribed
by these general and detail specifications for street improvements.
B.
As-built drainage plan. Upon the completion of the
catch basins, manholes and piping, the developer's engineer or surveyor
shall file with the Building Inspector and Planning Board Engineer
or representative a plan showing the proposed and as-built elevations
at catch-basin corners, top of manholes and all pipe inverts in catch
basins, manholes and at the recharge basin headwall. Proposed and
as-built pipe gradients shall also be noted. This plan shall be approved
before the curbs in this drainage area may be started.
C.
As-built curb plan. Upon completion of curb construction
and before any road work is started, the developer's engineer or surveyor
shall file with the Building Inspector and the Planning Board Engineer
or representative a plan showing both proposed and as-built curb elevations
and the location of the curb in relation to the property line. The
plan shall show the proposed elevation opposite all grade stakes used
in construction of the curbs and the as-built elevations at these
stations.
D.
As-built construction detail plans. Upon completion
of streets right-of-way, curbing, right-of-way grading, drainage,
utilities or any other pertinent data, an as-built road record and
profile plan shall be submitted to the Planning Board prior to offers
of cession of streets, rights-of-way, easements and sites for public
use and copies of agreements, covenants or other documents. The as-built
street plan and profile shall be on standard profile plan cloth K
& E 486026, or equivalent, 24 by 48 inch sheet size, including
a three-inch margin along the left side of the sheet. The horizontal
plan scale will be one inch equals 50 feet, and the vertical profile
scale will be one inch equals five feet. The road record and profile
plan shall contain all the data that concerns any construction above
or below ground that is contained within or crosses the road right-of-way.
