Gumby,
One solution would be to have your standpipe actually buried in the face of the dam. In South Dakota we hae to deal with ice as you will. Place a small extra berm on the face of the dam where the stand pipe will be located. Then bury the standpipe in well packed clay, leaving only 6 inches or so of the pipe sticking out above the clay berm. Then place riprap or large field stone around the pipe inlet, so the water flow doesn't erode any of the soil. You will also want to place a trash guard of some type over the tube inlet to prevent it from getting plugged.
