Wow thanks for all the great info and fast replies, this site rocks.
I will try and reply to everyone but first I just want to let you know I am in the very beginning stages of researching the project and I will be lucky to get it started in the next 18 months. Since I just bought the property I want to monitor the creek throughout the year and see how much flow it has.
Brettski,
No Government yet, I want to talk to people in my area first and see what they did.

10-4 on the PVC, I will have have to wait and see what my flow looks like throughout the year.

I’m not sure yet on the equipment, I was hoping to get a backhoe for a couple of days and a medium size dozer for the rest. I was hopping to build a 8-10 foot dam, the creek is about 6-8 feet wide and 2 to 4 feet deep. What is the best way to temporarily dam the creek?
James,
How big is your pond? Do you have a pic of the dam?
Once I’m able to meet my neighbor with the pond up stream I should be able to get a lot of my question about drain size and flow rates answered. I will try and take some pictures of the creek and future pond site this weekend and post them.
