Hi all. Potential very small pond owner here.
I'm under contract on a house and property that I love. It also has a small pond that is beautiful, but I don't know a dang thing about it.
I'm going back tomorrow for the inspection. I'm wondering what I should look for or what questions need to be brought up.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
Here's what I know:
It's got a concrete thingy on one end.
It has a large(ish) pipe in the shallow(er) end.
The concrete thingy (Monk tower?) is about 90 feet from a small stream behind the house that is a designated wetland. I believe it's called a riverine".
This is also the lowest lot in the neighborhood (200ft lower in elevation than the highest point).
It is NOT in a flood plain according to FEMA. Closest is about .25 mile away.
The stream is fed by a larger creek that spans MD & PA
The pond is "stocked" according to the owner
Some pictures If I can get that to work.(There's no shot of the shallow end pipe)
