French Drain Installation questions from De Luz customers
- There is no storm drain on our road. Where is a French drain supposed to end?
- Not in a public system, in most cases. The County's Santa Margarita Region stormwater program listed a Transportation Department inventory of 6,300 linear feet of underground storm drain, two detention basins and 53,000 linear feet of channel for the whole region in its 2005 public review draft, and the De Luz district holds no drainage power at all. Anything discharging into a district-maintained right-of-way needs an encroachment permit from the district.
- We are on septic. How far does a drain outlet have to stay from the leach field?
- Riverside County's onsite wastewater program sets the distances from the septic side. Leach lines and beds keep 50 feet from an ephemeral stream and 15 feet from a drainage course, which the program defines to include eroded channels, dry creek beds and swales. A seepage pit keeps 100 feet from an ephemeral stream. A new outlet that cuts a channel is measured against those same setbacks.
- Our parcel is steeper than 30 percent. Does that change subsurface work near the dispersal field?
- It changes what the County allows on the wastewater side, which constrains everything routed near it. Installation on greater than 30 percent slope is not allowed without a slope stability report approved by a professional engineer or geologist. Required test-hole depth also scales with steepness, from five feet at five percent slope to nine feet at 45 percent, and slopes over 20 percent call for serial distribution.
- Does trenching a drain line need a County grading permit?
- It depends on volume and on what the trench connects to. Riverside County treats excavation or fill under 200 cubic yards as minor grading, and exempts small fills of no more than 50 cubic yards on one lot. The agricultural exemption is separate and narrower: it is lost where the work installs basins, culverts, headwalls or other drainage-related facilities.
