bearings, and station equations (labeling every 100 foot station)
shall be shown.
h. Existing and proposed pavement, curbs, sidewalks,
guard rails, etc shall be shown.
i. All existing and proposed drainage shall be indicated
with flow arrows. Drafting should differentiate between existing and
proposed features, types of ditches, rip-rap, types of existing and
proposed pipe, and length of proposed pipe between structures (inlets,
manholes, etc.), and underdrains.
j. Using the standard legend, existing and proposed utilities
shall be shown, including the treatment of existing utilities, if
utility work is to be done by others, indicate by whom (Public Service,
Commonwealth Water, etc.).
k. Match lines shall be labeled by stations and matching
plan sheet numbers shall be given.
l. All overhead and underground power and telephone wires,
both existing and proposed, shall be shown.
m. If detours or temporary construction access roads
are involved, reference to the detour sheet shall be made on the appropriate
plan sheet.
n. For special treatments, cross references shall be
made to appropriate sheets.
[Ord. #585, § 802C]
The applicant shall meet with the Township Engineer
to determine whether grading plans or cross-sections are to be used
to show earthwork. If cross-sections are required, contouring may
still be required to show intent for areas such as intersections,
stream crossings, etc.
a. Grading plans shall be to the same scale 30 inches
and cover the same area as the plan sheets.
b. The title of the sheet shall contain a number which
is to be keyed to the appropriate plan sheet number (i.e. plan no.
10 shall cover the same area as grading plan no. 10).
c. Match lines shall be labeled as to station and matching
grading plan sheet.
d. Topography shall be shown on the plan sheets with
the addition of existing contour lines at intervals of one foot.
e. Existing and proposed utilities shall be shown in
accordance with the standard legend.
f. Existing and proposed roadways shall be shown with
proper designations.
g. Stationing, bearings, PC, PT, & PCC's (labeled),
100 foot stations (labeled) and ROWs shown and (labeled) shall be
shown.
h. Existing and proposed drainage shall be shown in accordance
with the standard legend.
i. Proposed inverts, grate elevations, pipe sizes and
lengths shall be indicated. In areas involving complicated drainage
patterns or grading, where pipe sizes, lengths and elevations would
tend to clutter the plans, drainage tabulation sheets may be used,
but only with the Township Engineer's approval. With the use of drainage
tabulation sheets, all drainage structures, flared end sections, headwalls,
etc. shall be assigned structure numbers for cross-referencing between
the grading plans and drainage tabulation sheets.
j. Generally, one foot contours are to be shown for all
pavement and slope areas. However, for relatively flat pavement areas,
contours at one-tenth (0.1), two-tenths (0.2), or five-tenths (0.5)
foot intervals may be required to adequately define the surface. For
uniformly graded slopes, only the five foot contours need be shown.
One foot contours are required in variable areas, flat areas and for
meeting existing contours.
k. If applicable, muck excavation or overload limits
with appropriate symbols shall be shown and labeled.
l. An earthwork summary shall be provided on the first
grading plan if not shown on the legend sheet. For projects with cross-sections,
a summary shall be provided on the first cross section sheet.
[Ord. #585, § 802D]
Profiles are required for all roadways, drainage
channels/streams, and pipes. Profile sheets shall include:
b. Existing ground in dashed line (labeled).
c. Proposed profile grade in solid line (labeled, e.g.
"P.G.L. Smith Street"). Gradients shall be shown to the nearest 0.01%
with a + or - to indicate rising or falling grade with respect to
increasing stationing.
d. Thirty foot horizontal and three foot vertical scale.
Show 100 foot stations and datum elevation.
e. At every 50 feet of stationing, vertical risers to
stop either at existing ground or profile line whichever is higher.
f. Proposed pavement elevations (at P.G.L.) to the nearest
one-tenth (0.01) foot at 50 foot intervals. Elevations shall be written
vertically along riser lines. Existing ground elevations to nearest
one-tenth (0.1) foot at 50 foot intervals shall be given and shall
be written on a slant along riser lines.
g. Roadway designation of profile, clearly labeled.
h. Length, middle, ordinate and PVC, PVT, & PVI elevations
and stations for all vertical curves.
i. Structures either on profile or graphically above
PGL. If on profile, show footings.
j. If applicable, limits of muck excavation and approximate
elevation of firm bottom. The upper limit of muck excavation and backfill
shall be shown.
k. All drainage and utilities crossing profile lines
by graphical plot, identifying utility and labeling size of pipe.
Major drainage parallel to roadways shall be shown, if critical.
When required by the Township Engineer, cross-sections
are to be included in the contract plans.
a. Sheets shall be the same size as the plan sheets and
on a stable base (Mylar) with an orange one inch base grid and 10
divisions per inch.
b. The title and revision boxes are to be in the lower
right hand corner; no grid shall be placed in this area.
c. The horizontal and vertical scales shall be one inch
= 10 feet.
d. The title box shall give the roadway designations
and station to station limits for the sections that appear on the
individual sheets.
e. All final grading to template lines (the pavement
section is to be shown in a lighter weight pen) shall be shown.
f. All structures and retaining walls shall be shown,
including their footings.
g. All sidewalks and limits of topsoiling and seeding
shall be shown.
h. At profile line, existing and proposed elevations
shall be shown.
i. Limits of muck excavation shall be shown.
j. Ditches and channels for major drainage shall be shown.
k. Stripping limits are to be shown for cut and fill
conditions.
l. Continuous cross section baselines are to be given
on each sheet (no offsets of jogs). Stations shall be shown for each
section.
m. Section quantities are to be tabulated, preferably
on the right side of the sheet opposite the section.
n. Section match lines are to be indicated.
