SITE DEVELOPMENT: If feasible, the design for a VA cemetery
9.
shall conform to the following site planning criteria:
9.1
When locating the proposed interment areas, buildings,
and roads consider topography, adjacent facilities,
environmental impacts, and future development to produce
a design that is functional and aesthetically successful.
8.2
Consider impacts on existing natural and man-made storm
water drainage patterns and systems. VA is committed to
the control of stormwater by the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, the Federal Flood Disaster Protection Act and
other Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations
that are implemented by Federal, State, and municipal
jurisdictions (see Article 8, and the VA Sanitary Design
Criteria).
8.3
Insure that construction causes minimal interference with
the normal function of VA cemetery and surrounding
community (see Program Guide PG-18-15, Vol. D, Critical
Path Method (CPM), Article, Phasing Requirements).
8.4
Provide necessary data and coordinate VA compliance with
FAA Regulations for obstructions to air navigation and other
navigable air space regulations (see Advisory Circulars
70/7460-1H, Obstruction Marking and Lighting, 70/7460-2I,
and Proposed Construction or Alteration of Objects That
May Affect Navigable Airspace. Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) Advisory Circulars are available free
