I've got a client that needs to renovate his leaky pond, and is waiting for the NRCS to come back to work before proceeding, so I feel your pain.

It might all depend on soil composition (clay or sand) amount of vegetation in the runoff area, how fast the rain comes (1" over 24 hrs or 10 minutes) and probably some other variables.
