The lower part of my property is along a Creek. There is about a 20 to 25 Foot straight drop down to that section of my land. Once there, it's a nice,wide level section that runs about 300 feet along the Creek. Problem that the water from up top, all drains down to that bottom land. I would like to dig a straight trench from the base of the drop off , to the creek. Then back fill with gravel creek stone and then lay perforated plastice pipe on top of that and fill over that with more creek stone.
Questions:
1. Would this work ?
2.Do I need a permit just to drain water off the bottom land into the creek ? I own to the middle of the creek.
