I need some advice and am hoping that some of you experts out there can help.
My wife and I are shopping for properties. We found a small acreage that we both like, my wife for the house and me for the potential pond site. The problem is that a large portion of the site where I envisioned excavating the pond is taken up by the septic tank and drainfield. There are not many other spots to put the pond. I am considering reducing the size of the pond to fit the original site, but the space is tight and excavating a pond below the septic system seems like a very bad idea - talk about "off" flavors! I would greatly appreciate any thoughts regarding how far the pond would need to be set back from the drainfield to make this work.
If it helps, the soils are sandy and the pond would be lined with bentonite. Thanks in advance for any responses.
