Some really good advise so far, especially checking local, state and federal regs.

I have what is locally referred to as a "Tobacco Pond" on my farm, which at one time was a tobacco farm.

The pond is fairly large...they used the ponds to irrigate tobacco crops during dry years. The pond does have a central drain plus a designed in overflown on the right side of the pond during periods of heavy rain when the drain is overwhelmed.

There are plenty of good, practical web sites on dams and pond maintenance. Maintaining my pond is a pain in the buttox, btw.
