Also, I am well aware I have very little freeboard but I am also planning on using a lot of the dirt coming out of digging the emer overflow to build up the dam another foot or so if possible... I will probably need to did down around 2-1/2 - 3 ft for the emer spillway as it goes up at quite an angle heading toward the ravine. I know none of these may be the best solution but I am just trying to get somewhat of a solution in place until I can maybe do something more extensive. We had an unusually large amount of rain for our area the month of Feb, or normally it handles the watershed fine 90-95% of the time.... Plus during the time I will be working on this I am going to use my 300GPM semi-trash pump to pump the pond as dry as possible. I had it down about 3-4 ft last week and it took about 6 days to fill back up with no more rain.
