Hey everyone, great and very informative web forum, I've been reading through this site for literally hours. I'm getting the mag on my next paycheck, this is too good.

My problem is you can call it that is that we have 2 ponds a 1/2 acre about 300 feet from my septic tank which isn't a issue, and our 50x50 rectangular shinner/goldfish/crawfish/grasshrimp, raising pond. Now the raising pond has been there for 4 years but believe it or not the problem of it having a chance to be too close to our septic has just dawned on me, really because, it's causing no problems at all. But to make it quick it's about 30 feet from the septic. I know different states different rules/laws but this is just a small hole that has been tested by a freind who knows about water resources and i myself am going through school to become a marine biologist and wildlife management conservation. so we know the pond couldn't cause problems to the septic. The water is prefect no problems. But what do you guys think? I know a good bit about small pond management can't wait to share, but i'll delve into that later.
