If you want meaningful comments here, you need to explain more clearly. For instance, what is your capacity on this "non project" if any? Why should an engineer on site be cause for concern? Without a full clear description of the situation, do not expect any useful help.

It sounds like you need to hire an experienced design engineer.

assuming storm drain, not sanitary sewer and not building drains
[ul]
[li]running water = underground water pipes? = they could go in the same trench, but better to maintain a few feet separation[/li]
[li]electricity = underground cables = should be encased and can go above storm drain pipes. generally are not buried deep enough to go under[/li]
[li]buildings = storm drains should not go under or next to buildings[/li]
[li]slopes = drains should flow fast enough to carry sediment but not so fast as to create high pressure surges or erosion[/li]
[li]catch basins should be spaced to capture water such that flooding does not occur[/li]
