Flow line elevations will be established by the Surveyor at all changes in grade and at 25-foot intervals when the grade is greater than 0.50% and at 10-foot intervals for grades of 0.50% or less.

For storm drains, the Surveyor will establish elevations at 25-foot intervals along the main line, at all grade change points indicated on the plans, at inlets and outlets of structures and at the upper ends of house connections and laterals. Normally, elevations for narrow trenches will be established by means of offset stakes and a grade sheet giving cuts from such stakes will be issued.

When determined necessary, blue top hubs will be set in the trench for line and grade. Narrow trenches where there are space constraints due to utility conflicts must be approved by the Engineer and must compile with Slurry mix backfill according to Section 306-12.2 of the Greenbook.
