Most of the issues for the older sections is this isn't a permanent solution, it is supposed to be modified and most engineers that I have worked with have that worked into the plan. I don't see that here, nor do I see it as enough for the amount of land that it covers. Considering the volumes I am seeing just prior to Ian - this is a ok solution but it's definitely nothing to be proud of. I've seen far better in this state. I am also glad we didn't get the Ian test on it because y'all be really lighting up the CDD phone lines. I won't hold, but what is that statement I've recently read? oh yes the developer is a billionaire he must be smarter than us...... well it's not showing on the water management especially for the cost we all pay for this thing.
