2. Grading plan. A plan showing proposed approximate grade
elevations and drainage system of the proposed subdivision.
3. Existin~ fills. A thorough investigation to determine
extent and description of all man-made fills.
4. Topographical Summary. A summary of the general topography,
fills, grades, slopes, and all evidence of cultural improve-

grading plan, with special attention to apparent or
indicated problems relative to dumps, ditches, gullies,
