Thanks so much for the help. As to the springs, that was a total guess. There are several springs all carving their own small channel. I used a 24” culvert because that’s all I had. It is only a trickle, but it’s worth mentioning I already dug a trench from the main spring head to dry out the pond area. In all reality with the amount of springs I have found so far and the number I have not, it could be a much higher flow. I know for certain based on talking to locals, the pond has always been full and was established more than 70 years ago. I saw a neighbors survey noting my pond over 100 years ago. Whatever was feeding it all those years still wants to feed it. I could certainly make it larger. The red area on the drawing is all available, although I wanted to leave some land for a barn or other future use. I have been on this property for 5 years and there are springs everywhere. The entire bank on the road side is riddled with springs. The road sits approx 20’ above the pond, so it also picks up some watershed. Also noted on the survey is a culvert running under the road picking up run off coming down the mountain, so I am certain I am underestimating. I want this pond to be more beautiful than it was. If you dm me an email I can send you videos so you have a better frame of reference.
