You might contact the Parish drainage board.....first, to see what they say.
A couple of years ago, a neighbor was fixin to cover his ditches. When i saw the culverts [~ 12"], I knew they were too small to handle a good rain. I called the drainage board and had them come out.
He agreed that the "permited" pipe size needed to be larger and changed it to 15".
I live 2 houses down from this house and the neighborhood plot plan calls for 30" for my lot. The parish inspector told me that a 24" culvert might be approved for my ditch if I got it covered.
