No issues with me - just wanted to avoid any problems (head them off at the pass). Tracy most pond owners agree with you. Theo is right the Clean Water act is very important - it just often causes big problems when Uncle Sam wants to tell private owners what to do with their land. The problem is its discussion has caused the biggest problems we have had on the Forum - thus Bob's rule - no politics.

FYI - I have seen COE/EPA make million dollar lakes/ponds/developments be undone in addition to fines.
