The dam is half built. We removed apx 50 very large stumps (oak, poplar, beech). I'm planning on putting them back in the pond for structrue.
The pond will be about 3 ac. and very deep all around 20+ ft. with steep sides. The dam is in a single hollow and will back water up into two hollows creating a point in the middle. I'll be adding riprap & thought of using the stumps to hold the rocks from sliding all the way to the bottom. Also planning on liming before filling to counter the acid from the stumps.
Is this a workable plan?
