TJ,
I've been to Scot's pond and along with seepage issues he gets a good amount of water in the spring through a culvert pipe that he wants to hang on to. Trouble is it goes back out the same pipe when water levels drop on the other side with nothing to stop it. He was considering a gate valve but not only are they very expensive for a pipe that size (10 inch), I believe a check valve or flapgate would what he is looking for. (Cheaper too). It would allow water to flow in when the water is coming in, and when there is no longer any flow coming in, it would close keeping water from flowing out of the pond side.
