I drink gasoline for breakfeast and beer for dinner!
Any problem can be licked with a case of beer and a few sticks of dynamite.

I'm going to take a wild guess here, but the ledges are either for safety landings for personnel or to break up the velocity of the falling water.

If you were to slip from the ladder, you only fall 10 feet instead of 80.

now I wish I could find something like that
around where I live I have yet to see a single waterfall, slide, or set of stairs
but I did find an easy access point to a huge drain that goes straight underneath downtown Raleigh, so I'm happy for now

Ce n'est pas une signature.

that's all I'm doing really. Spending hours on a combination of google earth & local live, flipping back and forth looking for drains, coming up with 'reasonable drain ranges' to look in, scouring the web for maps, looking up old news articles of drains that malfunction in the spring and flooded people's basements, etc. etc.

Here's one tip I have found: look into every park that borders water. 75% of the time there will be a drain there, as I'm beginning to think there's some sort of law about drains within a range of residential areas per volume of water it is capable of... so if a community wants a drain for runoff, no houses can be by. Bigger drain, houses have to be farther, wasted land, water nearby.... plop a park there.

Nice job. You'll conquer that drain yet! 3rd time's the charm.

EDIT: P.S. you owe us an updated graphic section view of the drain with your new knowledge.

Your second shot appears almost as if it empties into a reservoir/chamber.

After the third "step" the water flows out 2 large RCBs.
