Just a thought.....

As the pond only has a couple feet of water at this point, now would be a great time to add broken concrete, rip rap, etc. in some areas of the shore for baitfish/crawfish habitat once the pond fills. The structure will also hold the soil and help with erosion. I suspect local concrete contractors would be happy to dump a torn out patio at your place instead of paying a landfill!

Good luck!
