Lunker,

Yes gotta love the old shovel cam.

I was thinking the same thing about the section of pipe but am going to leave it disconnected for now, let this storm come through and see how it flows. I do think it's smart to keep the exit as far away from the dam as possible. The whole area at the end of the pipe us just muck, lose your boot kind of muck. Now that the block is gone I do expect this whole area will dry up. I'll look into an anti seep collar (just googled it, keeping the water in the pipe and off my backfill). Thank you for your thoughts.
