    A 1-foot contour interval provides sufficient detail for residential grading plans with moderate slopes.

  5. When designing a bioretention cell, which soil mix composition is most commonly specified for optimal infiltration and plant growth?

    Answer: 50–60% sand, 20–30% compost, 20–30% topsoil

    A bioretention soil mix of roughly 50–60% sand, 20–30% compost, and 20–30% topsoil balances infiltration with plant-available nutrients.

  6. What is the minimum recommended slope for turf areas to ensure positive surface drainage away from structures?

    Answer: 2%

    A minimum 2% slope is standard for turf areas to promote positive drainage away from buildings.

  7. Which document type in a construction set provides written technical requirements for materials and workmanship?
