Depending upon how much water that you have to deal with, it may be feasible to wrap the RainStore3 with a geotextile so that the collected water can be applied the soil below the surface. This would eliminate the need to pump the water into the street.
The french drain itself can be constructed with the traditional gravel and perforated pipe, or you could utilize a gravelless alternative called Advan-Edge, manufactured by Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc..
The slope of the gravity pipe for drainage to the RainStore3 can be as little as 1/8 of an inch per foot. JWA
