Otherwise that's overkill if you ask me. If you want to protect the locations you love to explore, don't talk about them online in public!

Every few hundred yards (at the most) there's a ventilation chimney, also known as manholes or gutter boxes. Plus if there's water moving, the air is usually moving as well, so it's not like it's been sitting allowing gas to build up.

I'm sure most of us will never encounter gas issues in a stormwater system, and most precautionary measures are overkill. However, there have been at least two separate cases this year in Australia of gas build-up in stormwater drains. One involved a commercial gas supply leak, the other a landfill exhaust issue. I know I personally have to make an effort to keep from being complacent about these things - it's so easy to get dismissive after a while. http://www.longexposure.net UER Forum > Archived Rookie Forum > "Private" drains?
