Drainage and stormwater management on Springhill

Lafayette

Summary

The valley has a history of flooding and runoff problems, and drainage was the neighbors' main concern. The project adds five bio-retention basins, swales, and check dams designed so no net increase in stormwater leaves the property — potentially improving on current conditions.
