re: Possibly getting away from neighborhood life

Had a guy come take a look at the pond yesterday. The way they built the pond and tapped into the existing creek is all fine, the issue is rock at the bottom of the dam, it was a creek at one point so that's why it washed out there. The spillway is also a bit too high and has crap in it. He said he was going to talk with his grandfather who does the majority of their pond design and see how he would fix it.

They mentioned using where the creek wants to naturally flow as the new spillway, topping with concrete, then raising the other spillway and filling it in. Shouldn't be too bad of a repair.

He couldn't believe how deep it would be when full, probably 25-30 ft deep at 3/4 an acre. I've asked them to include a small expansion of a shallow area for spawning.
