The Plan Check team performs civil site improvement plan review of private development projects, which generally consist of major and minor land subdivisions, commercial and industrial projects, and major utility encroachments. Plan review includes most components of civil infrastructure, such as grading and drainage, roads and bridges, sewer and utility systems, and erosion control and Best Management Practices. Review is conducted to ensure conformance with conditions of the development’s discretionary permit and environmental review,  Placer County General Specifications,  Placer County Design Detail Plates,  Placer County Stormwater Management Manual, Sewer Detail Sheets ( Sheet 1 of 2 , Sheet 2 of 2 ), State and Federal construction standards/requirements, and general engineering practices.  

Both the  General Specifications and the  Engineering Design Detail Plates are also available on CD and/or hardcopy at nominal cost through the Engineering and Surveying Department (530-745-3110).

A pre-submittal audit to begin the Plan Check process can be arranged by calling the Engineering & Surveying Department at (530) 745-3110, or by e-mailing  Tracie Coyle.
