Storm Water Plan
Plan 3
Our plan is to direct any rain water from our awning to a rain barrel that we would use to water our
gardens.
The surface runoff from the upper lawns would be stopped with the wall we plan to build and any
surface runoff from the deck would be drained into a rock filled trench at the edge of the patio 4" deep
with further vegetation and shrubbery between the stone trench and the shoreline.
