Just what the title suggests. We took a look at a job today where a builder wants to add some yard by importing fill. The top of the slope is right at the edge of the driveway, and partway down the slope is where the gravel filled stormwater sump has been placed.
The proposal is to cut a key, or several, at intervals coming up the existing slope, and place the fill, with maybe a bench partway up the slope, but the ultimate goal is to add more flat space next to the driveway.
My apologies for the crude illustration, but it serves the purpose.
Brown is existing grade, with the stormwater sump in gray. Outlined in yellow are the proposed keys and fill.
Beyond the fact that you probably can guess that I'm not in love with the idea by the very fact that I'm asking the question, I'll withhold my personal feelings so as not to prejudice the discussion.
What do you think?

Would you be comfortable placing a fill downslope from a gravel stormwater sump?
