thank you to all that commented...Bill Cody has been such a help for me so far....I may have jumped 15-100 steps ahead bc of how excited Iam but he has still indulged my questions and I appreciate it.
As far as the soil and water folks, I have contacted them but they have yet to get back to me ... thanks for the reminder...I will call them again...
I will post some auditor site photos of the property...the total field is 20.74 acres and I am buying 10 of it for now with the possibility and locked in price to buy the rest in the future.. the back of the property (west side) is low and where I want to put my house in on the east side or higher area. Supposedly there is a spring in the property and the back area where I want to put the pond, based on auditors site, is a flood plain A....this has since been tiled off and is dry now as they sod farm it.
I was told there is a steady slow grade from the road (east) to the back of the property (west) where I would like to build the pond
the farms to the west of the hopeful pond site are "muck" fields. I was told below the muck is clay. this area was at one point part of congress lake a long time ago. now they are fertile farming grounds, with black gold muck fields.
google map it if you would like but I will also post photos in a bit.
14249 Tope Rd NE
Hartville, OH 44632
as far as how big I want the pond, I want as big as my pocket book can afford and my watershed/property can handle...really hopefully between 3-5 acres.
thanks for all the help
