Thanks Coupe. I had a long discussion with Rex today and learned a lot. He will be out at my pond tomorrow and he and I will build a siphon so that I can get the water level down. Ground is too saturated right now to do much with the dam plus more rain is coming later tonight. I have the eroded area covered with a tarp right now and my overflow pipe is clean and ready for the increased amount of water tonight.
If the dam will hold until tomorrow when we can get some of the water drained away then I will feel much more comfortable going forward.
Thanks for the advice/comments from all and I'll provide an update in a day or so.
