Thanks for the advice. Here are some pictures of the work in process. The dirt hill is now covered in wild flowers and the 25' tall shoreline is getting cleaned up of all the downed branches. But it still is a crazy steep slope around the pond. That tote idea could work because I could get it near the edge at the top of the hill on the dirt side (in the picture.) I could just use one of the pool pumps we have laying around reduced down to a garden hose size coming out of the tote.
holy crap...my pond is about 11.5 acre feet, so I guess that means I need about 3500lbs of alum and 1750 lb of lime!
I've attached some pictures of the pond (before the clean up started.)
