I just found this site a couple of days ago. If I found this site sooner, I'm sure I wouldn't need your expertice.

Well, I finished building my house so I thought I would build a pond. The pond is about an acre in size with a depth of seven to eight ft. Everything went well, except I wasn't aware that I needed an antiseep collar and now have a good leak around the pipe.

I tried a 1/2 ton of bentonite with no luck and am on my way home to drain the pond. Just as an FYI, I have two six inch pipes about 2 inches apart that drop about 6.5 ft straight down and T near the bottom of the pond then shoots about 20 ft through the bank

What do you guys think would be my best option?

1. Try to pull one pipe out and put an antiseep collar on the other?
2. Make my own concrete collar around both pipes?
3. Try to pull both pipes out and put a pipe at the top of the bank?
4. Or something else?

I am trying to avoid digging up the whole bank where the pipe is at because it has been down for a couple of years, is well packed, and is holding back the water very good except for around the pipe.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
