In the center of the fat section of the bottom of the triangle there is a small island. Looking at the elevation of the pond, it gets surface runoff from around the house to the South and a bit from the woods to the East. The top of the triangle is to the left and that rounded top is about 91' across.

Recently the woods have been clear cut, so those organics aren't a problem any more but there are a few trees around the pond that contribute to the organic load.

esshup, is this a description of the original OPs pond? Or another that you are familiar with?
