Minnesota notes

  • Spring snowmelt is the real test. Plan drainage for melt water, not just summer rain.
  • Don't send water onto a neighbor's lot or straight into a lake; ask about rain gardens or infiltration.
  • Culverts in road ditches usually need approval from the township, county or state road authority.
