Topic 6. Drainage and Topography

March 28, 2019

This Chapter has been revised in its entirety.

a. Grading

The site must be graded so that it

provides positive, rapid drainage away from the perimeter walls of the dwelling, and

prevents ponding of water on the site.

b. Topographic Conditions

The appraiser must report any danger due to topographic conditions, such as mudslides from adjoining properties, falling rocks, or avalanches.
