A big part of the watershed in this area is Schuylkill River. And the Limerick nuclear power plant is on the river in the next township. Could the local zoning codes be designed to offset for the vast quantity of river water that goes up in steam, i.e. limit impervious coverage to enhance...

Agreed. This is the way it is in Lower Pottsgrove Twp, Montgomery County, PA.

Thanks for the feedback zea3. The tops of the pavers and the ground between the pavers are all level within 1/4". But the ground outside the pavers is not level.

I submitted a permit application nearly two weeks ago for the installation of a 27' round AGP. At the time I was told to expect a two week wait. Apparently everyone and their brother is getting a pool. Anyway, I spoke with the Township (in Montgomery Cty, PA) Permits office today and learned...
