Ok I got a call back from stark county soil and water. Good info here.
West side where I want the pond has good soils for making a pond.
As far as watershed, the property is 1441' long and has an elevation at the road (east) of 1128' and on pond side (west) of 1124'. The north runs down to the pond site as well
He said there is a water table high which will make it maybe more difficult to dig. We will have to find a place to send the water during the dig.
Also where to send the water from the overflow is another question.
Another issue is the flood plain. I may have to pull different permits to have the pond there.
His other fear is if I use a tile in that area to fill my pond. It could become a wetland.
He's sending me the elevation and soil composition maps today or tomorrow morning. I will post these as well.
He was super helpful.
