Wouldn't it be a shame if someone accidentally crushed that pipe shut with a trackhoe.

Then it goes completely uncontrolled into the ground and is very hard to remove. What you want to do is to seal the pipe so the back flow happens inside the facility (assuming they didn't completely butcher the pipe installation, which.... you know... isn't safe to assume)

They probably have backflow preventers
