Thanks Todd. I'm considering a small berm to block the icky water from entering my pond and to keep it from overflowing. Hoping for cleaner water. The pond overflowing isn't a big deal as it's so temporary but the woods is pretty much wetlands, it stays wet once the rains start in the fall through the spring and dries up during the summer. I put yard waste in the woods and one year after a heavy rain I had pumpkins discarded from the garden floating in the pond! Deer and other wildlife visit "the pile" in the woods.

The water doesn't look bad in the pictures but it gets pretty nasty after the icky water runs in.
