The County will review reports and plans for completeness of the submittal to the Planning Department. The County will provide written or oral review comments of the submittal. The County will make every effort to effect a complete review and comment within a reasonable period; however, the County cannot approve reports or plans by default.
The applicant or his designated representative is required to attend a pre-application conference to review processing steps in accordance with the Mesa County Land Development Code (Code Section 3.1.6). The applicant shall consult with the Director or representative for general information regarding land development regulations, required procedures, possible drainage problems and deviations/variances, and specific submittal requirements. As a minimum, a conceptual and final drainage report will be required, unless modified at the pre-application conference.

FIGURE 28.12.010
(Res. 40-08 (§ 300), 3-19-08)
A conceptual/preliminary and final drainage report is required for all new development and redevelopment, except as otherwise determined at the pre-application conference. The number of report copies to be submitted will be determined at the pre-application conference. One copy will be returned to the applicant or his representative with comments.
All submitted reports shall be clearly and cleanly reproduced. Copies of charts, tables, nomographs, calculations, or any other referenced material shall be legible. Washed out, blurred or unreadable portions of the report are unacceptable and may warrant resubmittal of the report. The submittal shall include a declaration of the type of report submitted (i.e., conceptual/preliminary or final).
Table 28.12.020 shall be used to determine the adequacy of the submittal, in addition to those requirements identified at the pre-application meeting, which may alter the checklist. Incomplete or absent information may result in the report being rejected for review. Revision dates must be included on all re-submittals.
All development and redevelopment must provide construction site best management practices (see Chapter 28.6 GJMC), on-site detention (see Chapter 28.56 GJMC), and post-construction BMPs (see Chapter 28.64 GJMC), unless otherwise modified at the pre-application conference.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Drainage Report checklist was prepared by:
(Res. 40-08 (§ 301), 3-19-08)
The purpose of the conceptual/preliminary drainage report is to:
(a) 
Identify drainage conditions prior to proposed development, including designated floodplain boundaries (see Table 28.12.020).
(b) 
Identify existing and potential drainage problems, which may occur on site or off site because of the development.
(c) 
Identify proposed solutions to drainage problems, including location of detention storage and water quality requirements, in sufficient detail to verify technical feasibility.
Text shall be typed on eight-and-one-half-inch by 11-inch paper. All pages, including appendices, shall be numbered in a fashion that identifies the report (e.g., PDR-#). Text, tables, figures, charts, calculations, and appendices shall be bound to form a formal report. Drawings shall be included in a pocket attached with the report, but shall not be smaller than 11 inches by 17 inches or larger than 24 inches by 36 inches in size. The report shall include a cover letter presenting the conceptual/preliminary design for review and shall be stamped and signed by an engineer licensed in Colorado.
(Res. 40-08 (§ 302), 3-19-08)
The conceptual/preliminary drainage report shall contain general information regarding the proposed drainage facilities for the development. For instance, only identify that a channel or storm drain is proposed for conveyance, and not the size, slope, velocity or other more detailed information. Also, it is only required to identify the location and type of detention (i.e., drainage and water quality), and not the volumes or release rates; however, post-development flow rates shall be calculated and submitted with the preliminary report.
The report shall be prepared in accordance with the outline provided as part of the checklist in Table 28.12.020 (see also GJMC § 28.12.130). Grading and erosion control information are not required. The checklist must be completed by the applicant and included with the drainage report. The checklist will be used to determine the completeness of the report. If information provided is lacking or incomplete, the information may be required prior to further review. It is understood that information in the conceptual/preliminary drainage report is subject to change. More detail can be required if necessary due to the complexity of a development.

(Res. 40-08 (§ 303.3), 3-19-08)
Mesa County, the City of Grand Junction, the Grand Junction Drainage District, and the Town of Palisade, who are members of the Drainage Authority, have obtained permits to discharge stormwater under the Colorado Discharge Permit System (permit numbers COR-090031, COR-090077, COR-090006, and COR-090005, respectively). The terms and conditions of the permits set forth minimum requirements for stormwater management programs including construction site stormwater runoff control and post-construction stormwater management for new development and redevelopment to reduce pollutants in all stormwater runoff to the MS4.
