That's exactly what I want to do. I can do all of that myself.

Problem is, the state says that my pond is a class III and that I need to hire a Professional Engineer to design and stamp everything, then I have to pay the state to review and monitor the installation....it's way overkill for a pond this small.

The ONLY reason I am a Class III is because my dam height is "26.5 ft" so they say. Anything over 25 makes it a class III. The height is from the base of the outlet to the top of the dam.

So you could have a 10 ft deep pond and a 26.5ft tall dam, and still be a class III...that is essentially what I have...
