Each site shall be evaluated by the person assuming responsibility to determine if it is suitable for its intended use and if such hazards as flood erosion, sediment deposition, or other hazards exist that might impair the use or utility of the site. When, during preparation of the site, such unforeseen factors as rock formation, high groundwater levels, springs, biologically generated gases, etc., are encountered, corrective works shall be taken during the site preparation of the manufactured home.
All drainage must be diverted away from the home and must slope a minimum of one-half inch per foot away from the foundation for the first ten feet.Where property lines, walls, slopes, or other physical conditions prohibit this slope, the site must be provided with drains or swales or otherwise graded to drain water away from the structure.
