Describe how the use of alternative landscape techniques and materials are reducing the rates and volumes of runoff. d.

Where feasible due to the need to gain permission to enter adjacent properties, show the elevations of the lowest opening for the existing homes to the south, west, and north of the project to demonstrate no additional impact on the overland flow. j. Show how the existing drainage along the south property line is being maintained. k. The south side of the pond must be at least one foot higher than the overflow elevation. 1. Protect the draintile that appears to cross Lot 10 from the property to the south during constriction. in. Include private draintile in areas with grades 1.75 percent and flatter. n.
