Muck soil from the pond will let set and dry where dumped.

Needs wetlands and soil samples. rezoning ( what’s the zoning board basically told us it’s a done deal they’re looking for development).  

I think dry storage is an easier entry the more I research the marine space is crazy lucrative but also crazy hard to get into.

So I've been storing dry powder for property No. 2.

Especially on the uphill side you can dig dry wells and install sub grade downspout drains (perforated white or corrugated drain pipe) that exit to the wells at least 10-15 feet from the house if possible.   

We are required to do a SOILS TEST before the engineer will design a slab.

Its pretty cut and dry. 

Make PB&J bars: mix 2 sticks butter, 1.5 cups sugar, 2 eggs, vanilla, 2 cups peanut butter, fold in dry mix, layer jam, bake 45 min at 350°F.
