I just ran across this forum while I was researching for information on rebuilding my pond's dam. I recently bought a 2 acre piece of property that had been neglected for about 20 to 30 years. I have a 1/8 acre pond in the property that is fed by a large drainage ditch. There is about 20 or so acres that feeds the pond through storm runoff. During a good rain, the drainage ditch can turn into a pretty fast whitewater.
My problem is that the dam washed out during hurricane Isabel two years ago and needs to be rebuilt. The pond is around 6 feet deep max, and was dug out adjacent to the drainage ditch I described earlier. The dam must span about 8 feet.
I am looking for advice on where to get information, or help, or experience. Any ideas?
