§ 200-59. Culverts.

A. 

All culverts constructed within public rights-of-way shall be owned by Mercer County. All culvert designs shall be reviewed and approved by the Mercer County Engineer as a condition of preliminary approval.

B. 

Culverts shall have headwalls and railings, where necessary, placed on right-of-way lines, unless the stream flow is judged minor by the Planning Board and the Township Engineer. In this case, at the option of the developer, pipes may be extended no less than 25 feet beyond the right-of-way line, and a single headwall may be built to grade on the upstream side without a rolling. Because of traffic hazard, intruding curbs and abutments near the paving lines are forbidden.
