How is Agency approval obtained for deviations from the horizontal and vertical separation requirements?
Agency approval is obtained during the construction permit application process. The construction Page 2 documents must clearly show those locations where the required horizontal and vertical separation cannot be provided. On the back of the Schedule B – Water Main Construction form or on an attached sheet indicate the location(s) where the separation requirements are not met, the reason that proper separation cannot be provided, and how the water main will be protected. The construction permit, which lists the approved plans that clearly detail the situation(s) and indicate the alternative protection, serves as the Agency’s acceptance of the deviation(s).
