I have a pond nearing excavation completion.
Size is approximately 0.4 acres, 10' deep at the bottom, primarily spring fed, about 5 gpm. Watershed is probably less than 20 acres and I rarely see much runoff.
6" SDR 35 pipe is placed through the bottom of the dam/embankment.
Guess it could have been higher, but that's where it's at.
Ready to place elbow and standpipe on.
Do I need to anchor the standpipe? Was thinking of auggering a telephone pole at attach to.
Also have a length of 15" smooth lined corrugated plastic pipe that I was thinking of placing over top of the 6" to act as a trash guard and pull water from a lower depth.
Any suggestions on what depth to pull the water from? Was thinking of maybe just placing on the pond bottom and drilling some 4" holes through this to allow for water to flow in.
Noticed someone else here just ran 2 pieces of all-thread perpendicular through the sleeve and standpipe and held the sleeve off the bottom.
Ideas? Suggestions?
