Washoe, NV: Small volumes can still affect a drainage facility

Washoe's permit guidance distinguishes project size from location and specifically addresses grading inside drainage facilities and special flood-hazard areas.

Remote plan-based takeoff support; no local office, completed local project or site investigation is represented by this page. Cost, delivery schedule and deliverables depend on the agreed project scope.

What this changes in the bid review

Estimating interpretation: Do not decide permit status from cubic yards alone. A modest regrade inside a drainage feature can change the review scope; keep affected structures and restoration measurable.

Check the project documents

Mark each item after reviewing its supporting document.Identify existing swales, ditches, inlets and drainage features.Check grading location as well as volume and disturbed area.Obtain the project-specific grading permit determination.

Clarification to request: Does any proposed grading enter a drainage facility even if the overall cut quantity is small?
