Hey, thebar, not sure about the answer to your question right offhand, but here's a bump to get your question back to the top of the list.

If you haven't done so yet, do a little research into the forum on this topic as I know it's been discussed before. Obviously, you don't want trees or shrubs that are going to root into the dam and potentially lead to problems. I would have to think almost any sort of groundcover would work, though - myrtle is really pretty and grows pretty heartily, crown vetch (I think that's the stuff that grows along a lot of highways - really takes off and you may need to control it to prevent a complete takeover, but it'll cover fast), etc.

Hang tight and let's see if you can't get some more useful feedback.
