If you cover this vault with a concrete lid that hangs down a bit=20
below the top edges of the walls, and provide a drain path around the=20
vault for surface drainage, I think this would work pretty well.  I=20
don't think you should try to bury that cover but keep it above the=20
surface to keep water out), but you might isolate it a bit from wind=20
and temperature changes by placing an insulated pyramidal plywood roof=20
over it.  You will still need a down slope drain at the bottom of the=20
vault.
