Templates for each stormwater management facility can be found in Volume 3 of this manual. These templates can be amended slightly for use in more customized O&M plans. 3. As-built drawings must accurately identify the location and layout of the wetland and also clearly identify reserves and access easements. All stormwater management facilities must be maintained in accordance with the O&M Plan. Page 3 - 140 Volume 2, Technical Guidance
