Building several wing dikes in the feeder creek may be less expensive than a catch pond and will control silt well. I'd request a quote both ways before committing. Wing dikes are easier to dredge every few years than a catch pond is, just make the dikes wide enough for a backhoe or excavator to sit upon.
