- b) Minimum 4.0’ below finish top of asphalt at the edge of roadway.
- 2. Utilities crossing storm sewers
- a) Minimum 2.0’ from the flow line to the top of the utility.
- b) Clear zone of 5’ each side of the pipe, measured perpendicular to the centerline of the storm sewer pipe.
- 3. Utilities parallel to the storm sewers within 5’ horizontal distance of the storm sewer should be a minimum 2.0’ below the flow line of the storm sewer.
- 4. Utilities less than 5’ horizontal distance from the outside of a storm sewer structure should be a minimum 3.0’ below the flow line out.
- 5. Utilities under Reinforced Concrete Box culverts.
