Pipe Crossing Help
(OP)
I have an 8" PVC sewer that crosses perpendicularly OVER an 18" RCP storm drain. The vertical clearance is less than 1'. I think I should encase the storm drain in concrete because it is the lower pipe, but the plan check thinks it should be the sewer. What do you guys think?

In the original question, you have not addressed the need for protection of the storm water, so you could go either way. Concrete encasement is probably not necessary, but the installation of water main quality piping for the sewer is not going to break the bank and would probably be justified.
