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.

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.

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.

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.
