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.

Yes, the "common sense" things will definately be covered. I'm not all about pulling things back up to do them all over again because of permit/incorrect issues.
