It's more than just that. Remember, back when this used to be an industrial site, it was blanketed with impervious surfaces--just like the old PECO station, e.g., still is. From what I gathered, they're replacing an outflow (or adding a new one?) in the general sewer network. (He said something about 40-foot pipe and that's just way over-the-top for 10 acres' worth of impervious surface.)
