We are seeking to do at least the DOT Core in our Culvert Assessments (based on our community contracts).
Our crew identified the CROSSING TYPE as Drainage. The last six parameters under DOT Core (p.7) are not listed as Parameters Collected at Drainage Crossings (p. 8-10). Please advise.

Dave,
Per the slope question - Structure Slope (%) should have been hidden on the iPad - Chris just informed me he was going to do this. It will be calculated on the backend using structure length, and the outlet and inlet invert elevations. It is something we care about for stream crossings, but not for other crossing types (wetlands and drainages), at least for the moment, as it is something we use in our Hydraulic Capacity modelling.
Parameter # 44, Structure Slope compared with Channel Slope, is used in the Geomorphic Compatibility algorithm, and is simply the visual classification of whether the slopes match - with the options being: higher, lower, about the same.
For the other question, related to structure length, I am asking the DOT.
