To be completely honest with you all I know very little about ponds and dams. I took an aerial picture of the pond from google maps and marked what I do know about the pond to help y'all see what I'm working with. I have found no pipes or culverts anywhere I have looked. What I have done is stack some square hay bales around the affected area to help slow the water/erosion but if we get another flash flood those will be useless. After stacking the hay bales and taking a step back and looking at it, I feel more confident about the dam though. I have very heavy veg all over the front and back of the dam and the area where the water had spilled over doesn't look too bad considering how much water I saw spilling over it.
