Site rejection - 05/12/13 03:25 PM
Hi guys!
My brother and I wanted to start a catfish pond on my dad's farmland. Not having enough technical know-how about getting started, we hired consultants to make a site survey. The report that came back to us was that our site was not good enough to do that
It's in a swamp, about 3acres. Their reasons were that the site was smack dab in the flood plain of a stream and would thus be prone to seasonal flooding.
What was dissapointing to me was that we weren't given any alternatives, the report just said, "Find another plot and we can assess that, don't use this one." Like swamp land is just waiting to be bought up!
Any advice on how to make this particular site work?
I've been giving raised pond beds some thought.
PS: How can I safely upload the report so you can guys can take a look at it?
I've attached some info that may be useful that was in the report
