## Text

The purpose of Division III of this Article to establish the standards for stormwater conveyance facilities for the
protection of public rights-of-way and adjoining private properties. Stormwater conveyance facilities will be
designed to carry runoff from more than one parcel, existing or proposed, in a manner that maintains the public
health, safety, and environment. In order to reduce flooding, promote adequate drainage, and reduce
maintenance certain pipe materials are required depending upon usage and location of pipes. Stormwater
conveyance systems may include but are not limited to culverts, storm drainage pipes, catch basins, drop inlets,
junction boxes, headwalls, gutter, swales, channels, and ditches.
