Great info, all.
Rainman, it is an intermittent stream.
Catmandoo, I will reach out to these contacts.
Others, there is no way to re route the stream. Not interested in putting a pond on the other part of the property due to the difficulty getting there.
I am meeting with the core of engineers on Tuesday to discuss what I would need to get a waiver or possibly and agriculture exemption. I am not really wanting cattle on the farm, but if I need to, I will on some acreage about 500 yards from the pond site. I could have the cattle leasee use the pond to fill there water troughs.
I'm not interested in building it without the permits. From what I understand, the fines are extremely high if you are caught, such as thousands per day!. Only 1 disgruntled neighbor or 1 contractor that doesn't win the bid is all it takes to turn me in.
