This is the response I got from the association about the ponds:

Dear PJ,

Your plans sound very interesting and ambitious. The problem I see is that the Maryland National Capital Parks and Planning Commission (MNCPPC), which owns the park and ponds, would likely be reluctant to let you proceed with what you propose. There are all kinds of regulations and agencies that control how stormwater management is handled, given that the pond and creek drain into the Pautuxent watershed. This is part of our problem with the Duck Pond engineering. All I can suggest is that you write up a brief proposal, which I can pass along to the MNCPPC administration. They would have to give official approval before you could even think of applying for a grant.
