The more I dug into this article, I realized that the engineering firm is one of my company's customers.
Firms like this love to have organizations like ours support them and visa versa.
I wonder if it would be a decent idea to ask someone from their firm to speak at one of our TOSA meetings someday about this and similar projects?

Fanning/Howey A-man?
I may have to change my tune about them...everything they have worked on that I have warked on has been crap. This school looks like a solid deal. I'm anxious to see how it works out!

Andyman,
Sonnenberg's ending quote, e.g. "Hopefully, the water that comes off... will be better than when it was a farm field"
is a wee bit prickly, moderately regrettable, and will likely insult many of the very good farmers-stewards within the Darby watershed. Oh sure, there are some real dirty ag land owners/managers out there, I've seen them first-hand, even had to bust a few. Still, the Darby's good ag stewards far outweigh the BS plow-pullers.
Curious Steven sees no mention of on-site sewage treatment & mitigation in the article. Do you know if sewer & water lines are being extended beyond Hilliard's service limits to feed this school or is the daily poo & effluent going to be treated onsite via land application or closed-loop, wetland-style basins??
In any event, in my ever-cautious mind, as good as this stormwater system might end up being the fact is that it is cheaper to grow open space and productive, buffered ag lands than it is to grow a new school district.
I reckon the rural sprawl universe will unfold as it will and we, much like Mongo, are simply pawns in game of life!
Oh yeah, our local smallies were all over the buzzbait again this morning. Nothing over 20 inches but enough 2.5 to 3.75 pounders to make for some merry buzzin'.
Best,
Steven.

Excellent points Steven. Many of which I personally had not considered. It's good to have an educated mind present. Thanks.
