Thanks, Tim. I read your thread - good info! I didn't realize this was a regular topic here, so I must have missed those posts. :rolleyes:

There are a ton of people with dozers we could call (heck, my uncle owns a local oilfield construction business), but we have a lot of upstream acres where our runoff will come from so we really wanted it designed right. *sigh*

We thought we were doing the right thing contacting NRCS. I think we actually did the right thing - it just hasn't worked out so well. I've told DH in the past that we should go "up the ladder" a notch, but we haven't as yet. Maybe I'll bring it up again if/when it ever quits raining! *grin* Speaking of rain, we have a pond now even though we have no hole... \:\) Luckily, we are high above the site.
