I talked to the my excavator friend. He says the clay is some sticky stuff. Its so sticky it takes a machine to drag it out of the dump truck. I asked him how hard it would be to spread in my 1/2 acre site. He said it could be done with a big dozer which they have.
I need to get serious about an over flow tube. Right now I have nothing in place other than some concrete "rip rap" on the back side of my dam for my spill way. In the 4 years the dam has been in place, it has overflowed one time during the spring melt. I have about a 15 acre area the would provide me runoff. However, I only collect runoff on the very hard and sustained rainfalls. Plenty of well drained soils and vegetation to collect it before I do. Any recommendations for an over flow tube size? I've provided a picture of my watershed area. The light blue area is approx. 15 acre. The dark blue area is actual pond surface area. about 1/4 acre.
