Starting to plan a 1 to 2 acre pond on our 80 acre plot. I have attached a few pictures of site we are considering. I have talked to a dirt guy and he thinks he can make it work, but thought I would see if there was something obvious I'm missing. Elevation change from proposed dam area to upper end is about 20 foot by Google Earth but has not been shot with transit yet. His next step was to shoot normal pool and overflow and set flags around the perimeter to see what we got. Then adjust from there to get an estimate on costs and timeframe. I would like to do a siphon for main pool regulation. Looking for a pond to use for fishing, picnicking, and swimming. I don't mind some upkeep but not looking for a full-time job managing the pond. Looking for suggestions.
