should include the material and equipment staging width. Construction in the offsite drainage
conveyance measures (ie emergency spillway and pond outfall pipe energy dissipator) that will be
maintained by the county will need to be observed during construction by Stormwater Services
and a turnover meeting scheduled once the system is ready to be conveyed to the county. Please

should the applicant elect to maintain the conveyance measures themselves, the POA covenants
shall indicate the operation and maintenance roles and responsibilities for the conveyance
measure.
