Thanks for the responses. After I posted last night I found several other threads related to this that I missed upon my first search. I will check the wetlands threads.

I have the gentleman that build the lake going out this morning to see what he can do as a temp measure. He was scheduled to do some road work for me today anyway. He has a relationship with the landowner as well. Hopefully we can get him on board with us.

I'll put together a thread soon with pics about my project.
