Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) General.
				  Project plans or work plats must include a top or planview, a cross-sectional
				  view, and a location map. All plats must have the standard north arrow. North
				  should be at the top of the plat. The prints must be neat and sufficiently
				  clear to permit photographic reproduction. Originals are preferred as copies
				  are often found to be unacceptable. The applicant should use as few sheets as
				  necessary to show clearly what is proposed. Work plats must be accurately drawn
				  to scale. A scale of 1" = 200' or less is normally required in order that
				  project detail can be easily understood.
(b) Details of Work Plats
(1) Topview or Planview Plats. Such drawings
				  must show existing and proposed features such as dune systems, shorelines,
				  creeks, marshlands, docks, piers, bulkheads, excavated areas, fill areas, type
				  and location of sewage treatment facilities and effluent outlets. Existing
				  water depths must be indicated using mean low water as base or zero. These can
				  be shown either as contours or spot elevation. Care should be used in
				  indicating which features are existing and which are proposed. Property
				  boundaries, as they appear on the deed, and the names of adjacent property
				  owners must be shown on the detailed plat. The work plat must clearly show any
				  areas to be excavated and exact locality for disposal of the excavated
				  material. When fill material is to be placed behind a bulkhead or dike, the
				  plan must be sufficiently detailed to show the exact location of such bulkheads
				  or dikes, and the adequacy of the bulkhead or dike to confine the material.
				  Drawings must indicate approximate mean low and mean high water lines and the
				  presence of marsh in the area of proposed work. In areas where the difference
				  in daily low and high tides is less than six inches, only an average water
				  level must be indicated.
(2)
				  Cross-Section Drawing. A cross-sectional diagram showing depth and elevation of
				  proposed work relative to existing ground level -- mean low and mean high water
				  line must be included in the plan. The mean low water must be the reference for
				  water depths and land elevations (i.e., mean low water should be depicted as
				  "Elevation 0.0 MLW"). First floor elevations relative to mean sea level must be
				  shown for any proposed buildings.
(3) Location Map. A map of small scale
				  showing the location of the proposed work is also required. The location map
				  must provide adequate information to locate the project site.
(4) Title of Drawing. Each drawing must have
				  a simple title block to identify the project or work, and shall include name of
				  applicant, date the plat was prepared, and scale of the plat. The date of any
				  revisions must be clearly noted. The applicant must also include the name of
				  the person who drew the plat.
