Pond was built in 95 or 97. There are 3 pipes currently- one iron, one courragated plastic and one pvc. They are flowing. I did go take some pics today I will try to post them. If we take out the small pines on dam, they are all on back side, we need to remove all roots too correct. Are there any resources anyone know of in NC of someone to contact? Forestry service? Thanks for the quick replies earlier.
