| Two scenes showing the
future site of the patio and rain garden; note the at-grade inlet
which was receiving sheet flow from the approximately 1,200 sq. ft. area.

After construction of the
patio, using permeable pavers, DEP staff and workers from Fletcher's
removed turf layer; rototilled and removed existing soil; brought in a
soil mix of sand, compost, and top soil; spread and incorporated the
soil mix across the 750 sq. ft. site.; and finally applied a 3" layer
of shredded hardwood mulch.
