Thanks. I talked to a local pond guy who specializes in lined ponds.
The current plan is to dig into the water table under the pond and install a grid of 4" drainage tile, then bury it in pea gravel. The tiles would be attached to a 24" culvert with two 24" culverts vertical sticking a foot or so out of the ground. This is so I can utilize the ground water to fill the pond and have a constant supply.
The liner would be installed and inside the pond we would lay in a grid of 2" drain tile and just cover it with larger gravel. I can then draw the water out of the pond and utilize it for the garden. Currently, the raised beds require a supply of 14GPM 24/7.
The pond size changed a bit to 30ft x 80ft and it will be running lengthwise, true east and west.
Anybody find any flaws with this plan. I sure would appreciate any comments.
