3.30 Amalga Northern Drainage Ordinance

3.30.1 3.30.2 3.30.3 Purpose, Scope and Objectives This Drainage Ordinance is formed for the purpose of maintaining the integrity of the existing system, and detailing specifications to be used when it becomes necessary for individual property owners to add to, or modify the present system, by installing additional culverts, or causing Drainage Area Defined The Amalga Northern Drainage Area contains the drainage channel located on the eastern edge of 2400 West Street. The Northern boundary being the point where 2400 West Street intersects with 8600 North Street. From that point it extends South along the eastern edge of 2400 West Street to a Point at 7600 North. This being the southernmost end. The drainage from the North flows South to a point approximately 8115 North, and the drainage from the South, flows North to that common point. At that location, two stacked drainage culverts carry the flow under 2400 West Street and down to the west. At a point some 400 feet West, the topography falls rapidly to the west, resulting in an accelerated drainage flow and defining the West Boundary. Material Specifications The original Design Specifications called for 15 inch Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP). The Steel Reinforced Concrete Pipe is manufactured in 8 foot lengths, with one end belled to enable them to be fitted together. The RCP was selected because the Drainage System would need to be able to accommodate heavy equipment, and fires used for clean up, and weed control. All future Pipe additions will be held to the same specifications. No pipe manufactured of other materials will
