What are the storm drainage requirements for land development?

As an AI language model, I don't have an accurate idea about the geography, any specific location or state of a country to give specific drainage requirements. However, in general terms, storm drainage requirements for land development generally include:

1. Designing and installation of stormwater drainage systems that prevent flooding or erosion of the site and surrounding areas.

2. In some areas, it's highly recommended to create a drainage and grading plan that describes how surface water will drain from the site, identifies any proposed channels for the water, dams or retaining walls that need to be installed.

3. The drainage system must be designed to effectively divert rainwater away from buildings and structures.

4. Drainage systems prevent soil erosion and maintain the natural flow of water formations.

5. Any stormwater runoff from the site must be treated to remove pollutants as per the regulations, so that the environment remains protected.

6. Building of retention ponds, culverts and other such water management infrastructures to manage water distribution.

7. The drainage system that is installed should be inspected and maintained to ensure continued functioning reliability.

The exact drainage requirements may vary depending on the local zoning, environmental regulations, and site conditions in place. Consultation with local authorities and engineering professionals is recommended to ensure compliance with zoning laws and to meet with the local and federal regulations.
