Upstream tributary drainage information shall be required when deemed necessary by the reviewing engineer. The topographic base map shall include existing surface water drainage, shorelines, steep slopes, soils, erodible soils, perennial or intermittent streams that drain into or upstream of the Category One waters, wetlands and flood plains along with their appropriate buffer strips, marshlands and other wetlands, pervious or vegetative surfaces, existing man-made structures, roads, bearing and distances of property lines, and significant natural and manmade features not otherwise shown.

The map(s) shall also clearly show areas where alterations will occur in the natural terrain and cover, including lawns and other landscaping, and seasonal high groundwater elevations. A written description of the site plan and justification for proposed changes in natural conditions shall also be provided.

Land Use Planning and Source Control Plan.

This plan shall provide a demonstration of how the goals and standards of § LD-12-29.3 are being met. The focus of this plan shall be to describe how the site is being developed to meet the objective of controlling groundwater recharge, stormwater quality and stormwater quantity problems at the source by land management and source controls whenever possible.

Stormwater Management Facilities Map.

The following information, illustrated on a map at a scale no smaller than one inch equals 50 feet, where the larger the second number, the smaller the scale, shall be included:
