CJ, the pond is not perennial flow. (that's the key verbiage we are dealing with in regards to the Resource Protection Area under the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act...a whole different issue in getting the electrical permits for the aeration system). It has very little outflow. The watershed is strictly from local runoff, not stream fed.So the turnover rate is very small. This AM, by using the 'how long does it take to fill a 5 gallon bucket' measuring method, I have about 3GPM of flow.That's after last night's rain.
I guess my much bigger question, and will broach with LSU, if the liming recommendation is based on soil that is not submerged in water, how much lime is it going to take and at what intervals, for a 10 million gallon watershed to get the pH to where it needs to be?
