Default Drain Pipe Burial

I'm going to install plastic piping to route the water from the gutter
down spouts out to the street, to stop errosion problems.

How deep do I need to bury these pipes? I live on Long Island in NY so
we do freeze in the winter. Do I need to get below the frost line?

Here in North Jersey there are plenty of homes with sump pumps that
discharge through a 3-4" PVC pipe pitched just enough to reach in a
straight line to the curb. Usually buried just beneath the landscaping.
Must be legal, at least here in the country of the high priests of
administratium.
