Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Renovating a Pond or Lake? Adding a sediment pond to an existing pond

Snrub,

I am seriously considering adding a sediment pond to each of the two swales bringing water to the main pond. What do you think about the idea of connecting the sediment pond to the main pond by simply building a ditch and filling it with rip rap instead of using an overflow pipe?

What would you do differently it you were going to start over with your project today?
