When you say runoff, you are referring to discharge OUT of the pond, correct? If you have the desire to drain the pond and start over, then I think a problem with the overflow may be a cosmic sign with the words "begin project now" emblazoned right on it.
All kidding aside, it would seem to be a great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
