If the project site discharges to a privately owned closed depression, the applicant must obtain written permission/easements from the owner(s) of record for both the closed depression and potential overflow routes receiving the runoff. The applicant shall record the information with the Pierce County Auditor. This information shall be recorded with all affected property titles including those for the depression, overflow route, and the applicant's property. If easements cannot be obtained, discharge to the pothole may be allowed on a case by case basis to match the predeveloped rates, increase the pond size and meet additional protective criteria described in Volume III of the Manual.
