Fantastic info. It sounds like keeping the water cool with well pumping will be the biggest challenge.

Since construction has not started in the barrow area the following questions pertain to what can be done to help with keeping water cooler.

Elevation of pond is minimal around 1000ft.
Steeper banks to minimize water warming and depths at lest 10-12 feet

Pond Construction
In pond construction I read that you want no more than 25% 3 feet or less to minimize weed growth and at least 25% to be the deeper area say 10-12 feet. That leaves roughly 50% to be from 3 feet to the bottom depth. In this pond would I want a greater % to be at the deepest point say 50% to be 10-12 foot?

Thanks again. I will keep the rusted wheels of my mind slowly turning
