These 2’ wide x 1’ deep trenches will filter water <br />through a 4” sand layer to a 4” draintile with a 4” clean sand base below. These <br />trenches will direct stormwater to the larger infiltration trench that runs along the <br />rear of the yards. This trench will be 570’ long, 7’, and 3’ deep. This trench shall <br />be filled with clean filter sand. Rear yard water will run over at least 75’ of
