Thanks for the advice guys. My pond will be a dug pond or pit pond so my thinking was that if the hole that the debris was buried in was sealed, then as the rotten wood settled that area of the pond would become a little deeper and I would have to worry about a leak. My main concern was if the water being above the buried wood would somehow cause it to float out of the dirt and pollute the pond. I'm not convinced it's a good idea but just thought I would get some other opinions on it. Hopefully when we get through burning there won't be much left.
