After meeting with the Natural Resource guys, my biggest concern now is that the NRCS provided a watershed report for my location is showing a 665 acre watershed with a 712 cu ft/sec peak flow in a 1% (100yr) storm event. According to their numbers, even a 5 year storm will have 245 cfs peak discharge rate.
I'm thinking now to create a diversion dam and an auxillary water course to mostly bypass the pond in the case of anything more than a 5 year storm. Has anyone else needed to do something like that? I just don't think there is a way to handle that kind of flow THROUGH the pond.
