Jim WaT. I walked the enm'e site down to ti~e fiver noting the grades and existing ditch and cuh, erts. It is readily apparent ~,',,a~ a more positive drain system is necessary~ to avoid su'eet floodino,.~ The owner ~xpressed some concern about the grade level on catch basins to be installed on the proposed stom~ dram. i assured htm that grades would be sho~. on the tim sections of his lawn that cun-entiy flow by ~'avity to the ditch. He wants you to be aware of ti-tis concern and be sure to set storm catch basins below the lawn ?adc. : The proposed ! f' x 21 ' concrete basin will sen, e as a sedimentation basin ahead of the. culvert leadin2 to the water chrome} on the west side of the Rum River.
