Emailed PDF As-Built Topographic Survey is required to be submitted at completion of site-work and prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy.  If necessary, the applicant will be required to correct any deficiencies at the discretion of the Township Engineer.  The As-built Topographic Survey must depict, at a minimum, the following information:

  • As-built contours provided at a one-foot contour interval with vertical datum indicated.

  • As-Built Survey must be in conformance with requirements as listed on Request for Grading Plan Review Application & Preparation Checklist. As-built survey must include contours and spot elevations on the property, along property lines, top and bottom curb elevations, with 25 ft. overlap onto adjacent properties and sufficient spot elevations to determine slope of driveway, apron, sidewalks, swales, and pitch away from building foundations.

  • Extensive spot elevations must be shown to confirm runoff patterns, elevations and that no runoff flows toward adjacent lots. Spot elevations must be provided at building corners, swales, swale highpoint, driveway, downspouts, driveway apron, and along curb. Finished floor, garage floor, crawlspace, basement floor elevations and building height must be shown on the As-built Plan.

  • Drywell recharge system and related yard drains and piping must be shown on the As-built survey.

     
    •     Location of all downspouts and yard drain piping to drywells must be included.
  • Any septic tank, subsurface disposal field and wells must be shown.

  • Failure to provide sufficient spot elevations may result in denial. Additionally, footprint of disturbance must be shown.

  • Allow minimum ten (10) days for review and processing of As-built mappings and supporting documents. The Survey must be prepared, signed, and sealed by a NJ Licensed Land Surveyor.
