14 General Information Three types of drawings-Vicinity, Plan, and Elevation-are required to accurately depict activities (See sample drawings on pages 16 and 17). Submit one original, or good quality copy, of all drawings on 81/2 x 11 inch white paper (tracing cloth or film may be used). Submit the fewest number of sheets necessary to adequately show the proposed activity. Drawings should be prepared in accordance with the general format of the samples, using block style lettering. Each page should have a title block. See check list below. Drawings do not have to be prepared by an engineer, but professional assistance may become necessary if the project is large or complex. Leave a 1-inch margin at the top edge of each sheet for purposes of reproduction and binding. In the title block of each sheet of drawings identify the proposed activity and include the name of the body of water; river mile (if applicable); name of county and state; name of applicant; number of the sheet and total number of sheets in set; and date the draw- ing was prepared. Since drawings must be reproduced, use heavy dark lines. Color shading cannot be used; however, dot shading, hatching, or similar graphic symbols may be used to clarify line drawings. Vicinity Map The vicinity map you provide will be printed in any public notice that is issued and used by the Corps of Engineers and other review- ing agencies to locate the site of the pro- posed activity. You may use an existing road map or U.S. Geological Survey topographic map (scale 1 :24,000) as the vicinity map. Please include sufficient details to simplify locating the site from both the waterbody and from land. Identify the . source of the map or chart from which the : vicinity map was taken and, if not already . shown, add the following: o location of activity site (draw an arrow showing the exact location of the site on the map). o latitude, longitude, river mile, if known, andlor other information that coincides with Block 6 on the application form. o name of waterbody and the name of the larger creek, river, bay, etc., that the waterbody is immediately tributary to. o names, descriptions and location of landmarks. o name of all applicable political (county, parish, borough, town, city, etc.) juris- dictions. o name of and distance to nearest town, community, or other identifying loca- tions. o names or numbers of all roads in the vicinity of the site. o north arrow. o scale. Plan View The plan view shows the proposed activity as if you were looking straight down on it from above. Your plan view should clearly show the following: o Name of waterbody (river, creek, lake, wetland, etc.) and river mile (if known) at location of activity. o Existing shorelines. o Mean high and mean low water lines and maximum (spring) high tide line in tidal areas. o Ordinary high water line and ordinary low water line if the proposed activity is located on a non-tidal waterbody.
