Rule 1501:21-5-02 | Preliminary design report.
(A) For class I and II levees and for dams, the preliminary design report shall include: (1) A general description of the dam or levee and all appurtenances thereto, and the proposed classification of the structure as set forth in rule 1501:21-13-01 or 1501:21-13-09 of the Administrative Code. The description shall include a statement of the purpose for which the dam or levee is to be used, and a statement setting forth the impact of such dam or levee as it relates to endangering human life, health, or property upstream, downstream or adjacent to the dam or levee. (2) For dams, maps showing: (a) The ownership of all property, in whole or in part, that would be inundated by the reservoir up to and including the elevation of the top of the dam and the ownership of the property upon which the dam is located; (b) The location of the proposed structure; the county, township, and section lines; (c) The outline of the reservoir at its primary spillway elevation and its maximum pool; (d) Topographic contours of the lake area up through the top of dam elevation to verify storage volumes; (e) The locations of state, county, and township roads; the locations of utilities, i.e., pipe, transmission, and telephone lines; (f) The location and elevation of any other structure or facility affected by the proposed dam or levee. State, county, and U.S.G.S. maps, and aerial photographs may be accepted for these purposes (3) For levees, maps showing: (a) The ownership of all property, in whole or in part, that would be protected and the ownership of the property upon which the levee is located; (b) The location of the proposed structure; the county, township, and section lines; (c) The locations of state, county, and township roads; the locations of utilities, i.e., pipe, transmission, and telephone lines; (d) The location of any other structure or facility affected by the proposed levee; and, (e) Basement and first floor elevations of all structures potentially affected by the levee may be required to be shown as needed by the chief. State, county, and U.S.G.S. maps, and aerial photographs may be accepted for these purposes. (4) A written report of the surficial conditions, i.e., geology, topography, and cultural features, which includes a field reconnaissance by the applicant's engineer. Logs of borings in the foundation and in the borrow areas, and results of seismic and resistivity subsurface investigations, when they are readily available. (5) Typical cross-sections of the dam or levee accurately showing proposed elevations, slopes, pool levels, and top width. (6) Preliminary design assumptions, tentative conclusions, and references. The design assumptions shall pertain to such hydrologic and hydraulic parameters as drainage area, rainfall and runoff data, inflow hydrographs, area-capacity-elevation data, and flood routings, in addition to geologic and geotechnical engineering assumptions. (7) A description of how the streamflow will be diverted around or through the dam site, or otherwise kept from interfering with the work; (8) Other pertinent information as may be required by the chief. (B) For proposed class III levees, the preliminary design report shall include a letter from the owner stating the purpose and proposed height of the levee, a map showing the location of the levee, a map showing the ownership of all property, in whole or in part, that would be protected, and certification that the levee will be consistent and in accordance with all applicable state and local floodplain regulations and requirements. (C) Within forty-five days from the date of receipt of the complete preliminary design report, the chief will respond in writing with approval, conditional approval, or disapproval of said report. Upon approval, the chief will designate the approved classification of the proposed structure. If the proposed structure is placed in class IV pursuant to rule 1501:21-13-01 or in class III pursuant to rule 1501:21-13-09 of the Administrative Code, the chief will notify the applicant that the proposed structure is exempt from the construction permit requirements (rule 1501:12-19-01 of the Administrative Code).

Rule 1501:21-5-03 | The final design submittal.
The final design submittal shall include an application on a form as specified by the chief, copies of which may be obtained from the division. The final design submittal shall also include the statutory filing fee, the original surety bond, the final design report, plus three copies each of the plans, and the specifications as prescribed in rules 1501:21-5-04 to 1501:21-5-06 of the Administrative Code. Within thirty days, the submittal will be reviewed and either comments will be provided or the chief will issue approval. Last updated April 10, 2024 at 9:32 AM Supplemental Information |

Rule 1501:21-5-04 | The final design report.
The final design report shall include: (A) All investigations required by Chapter 1501:21-11 of the Administrative Code. Stability and settlement analyses, and seepage and underseepage studies shall be required, unless the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the chief that these analyses are not necessary. (B) The bases, references, calculations, and conclusions relative to hydrologic, hydraulic, and structural design studies, and to the design of spillways and outlet works. Design procedures that have been established by the United States army corps of engineers, the United States department of interior bureau of reclamation, the federal energy regulatory commission, and the United States department of agriculture natural resources conservation service are generally accepted as sound engineering practice. A written summary of the design references and assumptions that are used shall be included in the information that is submitted to the chief. (C) Steps to minimize erosion during construction. (D) Detailed cost estimates of the following: (1) Construction of the structure and its appurtenances; (2) Performance of construction inspections and materials testing; and (3) Preparation of the operation, maintenance, and inspection manual, the emergency action plan, and the as-built plans. The design cost for the project is not included. (E) For all class I structures except upground reservoirs, an emergency action plan for use during construction. (F) For all dams, a first filling monitoring plan. (G) Any other studies, investigations, and pertinent design information as may be required by the chief.

Rule 1501:21-5-05 | The plans.
The plans shall consist of a bound portfolio of the drawings with all sheets being of the same size not larger than twenty-four inches by thirty-six inches. The plans shall also be provided in a digital file format acceptable to the chief. (A) Sheet one shall show: the name of the project; its location, e.g. section, township, and county; the name of the owner or applicant; and the classification of the structure. Sheet one shall also contain a vicinity map that shows the project location with respect to the boundaries of political subdivisions, streams, highways, airports, and railroads. (B) Topographic and cross-section surveys shall be made with sufficient accuracy to locate the proposed construction. Locations of baselines, centerlines, and other horizontal and vertical control points shall be shown on a topographic map of the site. (C) A map shall be included that shows the locations of borings, test pits, proposed borrow areas, known farm tiles, utility lines, and other areas pertinent to the design and construction of the structure. The location of proposed borrow areas may be excluded from the map if acceptable to the chief. (D) The remainder of the plans shall be accurately drawn in sufficient detail as to clearly indicate the extent and complexity of the work. (E) The engineer shall affix the engineers stamp, signature and date on each page of the plans. Last updated April 10, 2024 at 9:32 AM Supplemental Information |
