What is the "salt water" pond built on/in? Does it have surrounding land
that it is going to harm by overflow? If Captain Burke has this pond
surrounded by cement and the sal****er gets drained into the ocean when it
overflows, then it isn't a problem but if I bought a house only to find out
that my "yard" had been destroyed by salt I would be really ticked off.

that it is going to harm by overflow? If Captain Burke has this pond
surrounded by cement and the sal****er gets drained into the ocean when it
overflows, then it isn't a problem but if I bought a house only to find out
that my "yard" had been destroyed by salt I would be really ticked off.
