We are almost done.
View from the upper end. We need to take out about a foot of dirt on the left and right bank near the upper end. The extra dirt will be placed on the dam to give us more freeboard.
This is a picture near the middle of the watershed. On the left you can see the pipe that goes under the road and drains away from the pond and on the right you can see a puddle that drains towards the pond. During light runoff events most of the water runs through the pipe and not into the pond but during heavy runoff the water runs across the road and into the pond.Our plan is to put a pipe under the road uphill of the current pipe so that most of the water will drain to the pond. We will cap the current pipe until the pond is full and then remove it so the water will drain away from the pond.
