Salisbury has had with the amount of drainage that
makes it into the 110 system.
This is the existing drainage system.
And in terms of where the areas are picked up and
broken out. What we intend on doing is making
improvements in these areas to reallocate some of the
existing water that’s on the highway, and all of the
new water that’s collected in the widened section will
be dealt with by the new drainage system.
The new drainage system will have
drainage basins. And these basins are actually
designed for infiltration areas. So, it’s not like
the older designs where we had these ponds that would
sit there full of water. These are designed to
actually collect water and bring in into these systems
and not, you know, further load the existing brooks
and streams and other drainage systems, but they’ll
actually take the water and set up these basins to
receive it. It will be there for a day or two as it
actually is designed to seep into the ground.
And one of the things that you’ll see
later on this season, the next month or two, is we’ll
be out there digging some test pits in locations like
this, this, and this, to assess the soils in that area
