re: Diversion canal

you might want to go hang out near the lot during the summer. My dad's friend sold his place becasue of the constant loud noise of speed boats racing down the river at all hours of the day and night.

and the dimensions you provided wi require over 7,000 yards of dirt. if you figure it cheap at $10 per yard (will probably be more than that) you ar looking at $70,000 in dirt work alone.
