Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Building a dam Overflow Pipe or Not

I second what Bill said. But, pay attention to the "A wide high water spillway could be used for your pond if the pond is not large and it doesn't have a huge watershed." part. If the velocity of the water is relatively fast, it will erode the spillway, causing you to spend lots more $$ to fix the problem.

What sise pipe did the NRCS recommend? Tell us what they said in regards to sizes of freeboard, etc., etc.
