I guess you have a stand pipe at each end so the pond is the same
level across the entire surface huh! dumbass! You just had to attend
the same school as Carol Gulley.......

I wonder why after 20+ yeats my soil is not cut into on my initial
apond with a sod spillway...think I need to go tel my spill way its
suppoes to cut through since it is just sod? Yea, right, I need a
stand pipe........and everyone else if they expect their ponds to come
close to being as perfect as Mr. Jim and Missy Physilss or what the
hell her name is, they need a standpipe......duh! CArol Gulley trained
them for sure!

Gary's suggestion makes good sense. Soilk conservation, fish and game
and your local federal farm folk could probably advise you well. Down
here in MS, they are very helpful. On our pond, recently built, we
have an 8" standpipe and overflow areas at both enda of the dam. The
overflow should only be need for the 'century' rain. Sufficient width
and good grass hold the soil well for an occasional overflow. If you
pond overflows regularly, you do stand a chance of cuts in it. I am
sure your local professionals can and will be glad to advise you.

If you don't have a standpipe now and the dam looks good, that is
surely empirical evidence that the situation has been fairly stable.
Do you know how old the pond is?
