Don't know yet, waiting for it to fill up and dry out so I can take some firm measurements. That way I can lime and fertilize in correct amount. Close to acre if I had to guess
Did not use piping just a earthin spillway like on page 13 of Missouri Pond Handbook. Very good booklet if you don't have on get one. Yes about a 1000 in my case.
Top of dam is about 11' foot on top and 18' tall. Put brush at far end of one of the ravine to help filter water.
No all fill came from onsite Soil Scientist said it would be ok soil to use..
