What price progress?
A 90,000 gallon stormwater detention "tank" being installed on a jobsite. It is comprised of 200 l.f. x 9' i.d. aluminized CMP with a restricted outlet orifice that lets the post-development runoff fill the tank during even the heaviest storms and then "trickle" out over a period of time so that the post-development runoff of the site matches the pre-development (wooded, undeveloped) runoff rate. Great idea, rather expensive to implement. The mudpuddle to lower right is a silt collection basin that exists during the development process to trap the waterborne sediment from the disturbed areas and allow the solids time to settle out instead of running headlong down into the Chesapeake Bay (150 miles away).
