The remaining two <br /> feet should be backfiiled with low permeability on-site sotls. The drainage <br /> blanket should be underlain by e perforated draln tile along the base of the <br /> wall . The t11e shovld be set such that a positive drainage gradtent is <br /> esteblished and access to en outlet provided. The use of ADS flexible type <br /> drain pipe is not recommended for greater than 4 foot embedment depths and/or <br /> where excavation and replacement type maintenance is not desired. <br /> Drainage <br /> Roofs and pavements will reduce the surface area available for natural <br /> inflltration withln the lot. This will in turn increase surface runoff. We <br /> recommend that roof drains, catch basins or other devices used to collect <br /> surface runoff be directed by tight line into the storm drain or other <br /> suitable system. Runoff should not be a1lowed to discharge onto sloping <br /> ground or to saturate foundatlon areas. Surface drains should be malntained <br /> separetely, and not interconnected with foundation or wali dralns. <br />� Sldewalk Support Rockery <br />� Me understand that a 5ldewalk is planned to extend along the southern half of <br /> the eestern stde of the structure. P�oposed elevations woutd not allow for a <br /> fill slope that could be tontatned within the property 1!ne. Therefore, a <br />� rockery could be constructed elong this area ta protect the structural fill <br /> end sidewalk area from erosTon. A graAed filter should be used behind the <br />� rock facing to reduce the potential for washing of the fi11 through the voids <br /> in the rockery face. Some repair and maintenance of the rockery/sidewalk area <br />� <br />
