Harry,

I'd love to do that but this property is right on the water's edge
of
a lake and in the flood plain.

Reed bed treatment ponds are much cheaper if they are allowed in
your
area. No pumps etc needed
either.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_be...uk/fact18.html


Make sure you understand the difference between a "flood plain" and a
"flood way". I learned that lesson the hardway about 30 years ago and
boy did it hurt.
