requirements of the applicable zoning district and the Swimming Pool Code (ISPSC). Based on site conditions, a
Residential Drainage Study (RDS) may be required prior to issuance of the building permit (see Section 1115.05). A

provisions of the RDS, if applicable, has been field verified by the Department.
