Conveyance System

What is a conveyance system?

A conveyance system includes all natural or constructed components that collect stormwater runoff and convey it away from structures in a manner that adequately drains sites and roadways, minimizing the potential for flooding and erosion.

Conveyance facilities consist of curbs and gutters, inlets, storm drains, catch basins, channels, ditches, pipes and culverts.

Engineered conveyance elements for proposed projects shall be analyzed, designed, and constructed to provide a minimum level of protection against damage to property and improvements from uncontrolled or diverted flows, flooding and erosion.
