As an engineer, I can say without question that I have not seen this level of professional engineering anywhere in the county and maybe in all of the state since I moved here some 12 years ago. For years, the runoff in this area from previous construction has been damaging homes and property. Not only has the county addressed a long-standing problem, but it has also finished the project and dressed the edges of the road properly. All this in about one month, which shows it can be done.
