Description: While doing a site investigation for a property down the road, I came across a mound that has ZERO vegetative cover. In fact, one could argue that it has an oversized aggregate bed! This mound is from the early 2000s and it has the dosing tank within the sand area of the mound, is on the edge of a wetland, and is built as a sloping site mound-but the slope is going the wrong way!

Description: The result of an electric installer deciding that the fastest way to the road box was right through the center of the newly installed mound system in front of the house. He first hit the perimeter drain, and then cut into the pipe.
