Your topography looks great for a pond. The big question might be wheter your soil has enough good clay to build a dam and hold water. I've had six ponds built, some with less than 4 acres of water shed, and all of them have filled up. And, finding someone that knows how to build a proper dam is important too. The costly permit process and feasability studies that you might have are a real bummer. I had none of that here. Anyway, government bureaucratic agencies in my area are to lazy and lackadaisical to follow up on much of anything. NRCS is one of the worst. My experience with them has been dismal. They told me that the first pond I built was not feasible and they would not assist in any way. That was about 7 years ago, and now the pond is over 4 acres and doing fine. I'm sure some of the NRCS offices are competent though.
