Treasure Island C. C. Culvert Specifications and Standards

The following specifications and standards apply to culverts installed within the Treasure Island road right-of-way (ROW). This ROW is defined as the 40 foot ROW specific to the paved road. The paved road is approximately twenty (20) feet in width. The ROW extends twenty (20) feet from the paved road centerline resulting with ten (10) feet of unpaved ROW on either side of the existing paved road.

Culverts are used wherever controlled drainage is required. They provide cross-drainage to a roadway ditch system on either side of a driveway paralleling the Treasure Island road system.

 All culverts installed, related to Treasure Island Drive shall, at a minimum, meet the following specifications: 

  1. Size: Minimum ten (10) inches diameter; sufficient length to go under complete driveway (i.e., about 10’ for a single-wide and about 20’ for a double-wide driveway) with a minimum of six (6) inch exposed at each end.
  2. Type: aluminum culvert, corrugated metal pipe, zinc-coated (galvanized) and aluminum/zinc alloy coated ("galvalume") corrugated steel pipes or ABS pipes are accepted on an equal gauge basis.
  3. Grade: culverts being installed must have no more than one-half (1/2) inch of fall per ten (10) feet of run.
  4. Position: culverts must be in line with existing drainage ditch.
  5. Construction: culverts require backhoes and compaction equipment for installation. Backfill around and above the culvert will be three-quarter (3/4) inch to one and one-half (1-1/2) inch crushed rock. Three-quarter (¾) inch minus crushed rock will be used for final grade.
  6. Maintenance: culverts will require annual inspections and inspections after major storm events by a Treasure Island Country Club Board member or Club employee. The Board is responsible for assuring that clogged culverts are cleaned out in a timely manner. Island residents may report culvert problems to the Board and may volunteer to assist the Board with maintenance.
