Bob,

The pond embankment was construction in a natural swale so existing grade on 3 sides is higher than the pond. The embankment is about 13 feet high. I still need to construction the emergency spillway in the SE corner.

I hope you're right about the spring not going "up" the slope.

I have a hard time believing the spring would continue to push water into the pond when it's 5 feet under water though. Hoping finished depth is +/- 10 feet, seepage point appears to be at about the 5 foot elevation mark.
