A grading plan is prepared as part of the permitting process. This plan is designed to provide more suitable topography for lots in order to control surface runoff, minimize soil erosion and sedimentation both during and after construction. The plan will define areas that must not be disrupted by grading and filling and will show the measures builders need to take in order to prevent damage to these areas. It is important that the runoff from each lot is directed to a stable outlet rather than to an adjacent lot.
