    Any civil guys? Storm drain question

    Hey guys-

    I have a manmade trench in my backyard that I'd like to fill in. The township requires a grading permit along with a basic sketch of what I'm doing. I'm a M.E., so I have no idea where to begin.

    There is a small amount of water that I'll need to divert. This stream is only present with very hard storms. I'm thinking a 8" pipe would be good.

    Anyway, does anyone have an idea on what I need to do? Size of stone to lay around the pipe, etc?

    Bed and cover the pipe with 2b. You can get away with SDR 35. Its a sanitary sewer pipe but cheap and easy to work with. How long is the run?

    Pretty much any plumbing store. Big stores like Nicklaus plumbing. I dont thing Lowes or Home Depot would carry that. It comes in 13' sticks.
