On-site retention basins must be designed to contain overflows/spillways designed to accommodate the unattenuated peak 100 year inflow to each respective basin, inclusive of offsite flows. 2. Detailed grading and drainage plans must be submitted with building permit application(s) indicating that runoff from each solar field area will be directed to a retention basin. 3. Any reduction in the 100 year, 2hr. retention volume requirement will require approval of a Drainage Waiver. The waiver application is a separate application and must demonstrate that there will be no increase in runoff from the site as a result of the proposed development. At a minimum, the first flush volume of runoff must be retained. The Drainage Waiver is a separate application must be approved prior to issuance of building permit(s). 4. Existing contour lines must be annotated on the plans submitted for building permit(s). 5. Any buildings located in a floodplain must be elevated to the RFE or otherwise floodproofed. 6. Disturbance to floodplains will require a floodplain use permit (issued concurrent with building permit(s) by PND). 7. The gen-tie line will require an FCD issued R/W permit where it crosses FCD encumbered properties (i.e. Saddleback FRS/Diversion Channel), prior to issuance of a building permit(s) involving this work. Page 2 of 2 8. Preservation of R/W is required as shown on the approved plans. 9. Engineering review of planning and/or zoning cases is for conceptual design only. All development and engineering design shall be in conformance with Section 1205 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance; Drainage Policies and Standards; Floodplain Regulations for Maricopa County; MCDOT Roadway Design Manual; and current engineering policies, standards and best practices at the time of application for construction. 10. Based on the conceptual design nature of the information submitted, changes to the site layout and/or a reduction in the number of solar arrays or BESS may be necessitated by the final engineering design of the site’s drainage infrastructure. Please contact me with any questions.

Whether its before, during (depending on status of road quality) or after. If that still rings true, could we revise it to say something like this? At the time of application for building permits, plans shall indicate construction of paved shoulders along the intersection of and extend through Salome Hwy and the frontage road (Harquahala Valley Road) south of eastbound ramps within ADOT ROW. Work shall also include replacement of the top 2" of the roadway surface and re-striping at this location. Work within ADOT right-of-way shall require a permit from ADOT.
