New stormwater drainage paths would be cut by a small excavator to reroute existing drainages around proposed facilities and improvements (Figure 2.12, “Drainage Plan”). The existing rerouted drainages would be filled using the soils removed from new drainage paths. Depending on the exact relocation and the amount of water being diverted, some riprap or other form of erosion protection may be required. In most cases, newly filled areas would be compacted and serve as the location of a new trail, parking area, or building pad.
All site drainage relocation work would occur within the 40-acre parcel boundary. Relocated drainages would be directed back to the natural channels before leaving the 40-acre parcel boundary.
