I have a new pond and I have a 10 inch culvert draining it. The pond filled this fall and my drain was working fine. The pond recently froze and pushed my culvert up and now (you guessed It) the water is running underneath the culvert. The question is there a good fix besides bringing it up with a back hoe? I have been shoving clay underneath it a slowing it but this is just temporary till summer. My culvert sticks out about 1 1/2 feet from the bank this is wht it got shoved up. I take it this is the wrong wat to do it. Should I cut it off? If so how far back onto the bank. I thought it would be better to leave it out but that was a mistake. The red clay is so horrendous nothing will be able to be done till june. All help is appreciated. I am afraid I may lose it all with the spring rains.
