Drain Commissioner

Commercial Developments, Land Divisions and Condominium Plan Approval

If a review of stormwater runoff management is requested by the local government agency the Drain Commissioner will perform a review based on these rules and regulations. The Drain Commissioner may hire a registered engineer to advise in the review. The added cost of hiring an engineer will be reflected in the fee. The Owner/Developer of the land development project will submit a set of construction plans and calculations to the Drain Commissioner in accordance with these rules and regulations.

A land development project will be reviewed and subject to the Construction Plan submittal requirements, Hydrology and Hydraulic Calculations, Accepted Coefficiency Factors and Deed Restrictions of the rules and regulations. After the review the Drain Commissioner will determine if the drainage facilities should be dedicated through a 433 Agreement to the Drain Commissioner or remain private. If the drainage facilities are to remain private or under the control of a municipality other than the Drain Commissioner, a written, signed and recorded document accepting full liability and responsibility for all drainage facilities by the developer and/or municipality may be required. Copies of this document will need to be submitted to the Drain Commissioner and the municipality requesting the review.

The review by the Drain Commission will be completed within thirty (30) days of receiving the necessary construction plans and calculations. A written review with recommendations will be sent to the Owner/Developer and the municipality requesting the review. The municipality can then enforce or reject the Drain Commissioner’s recommendations.

The fee for review will be paid to the Calhoun County Drain Commissioner by the local municipality. The fee shall be submitted with the written request for review. If a consulting engineer is required to review the construction plans that cost will be paid by the local municipality before issuance of review letter.

As-built construction plans must be submitted to the Calhoun County Drain Commissioner upon completion of project if a 433 Agreement is to be implemented.
