The District is here to help landowners work together to solve drainage problems. Often times, a problem that exists on one property may exist in a similar fashion or be causing problems on other properties. When problems like this are identified, the District attempts to work with all the landowners that lie within the local watershed to find a solution to the problem. Contact Milt Link, Scott Stephens or Mark Moseley for more information. |

Thinking of building a pond? The District has Resource Conservationists on staff that are available to evaluate your potential pond site. Many things can influence the success or failure of a pond site including soil types, deep geology, watershed size, etc. Our staff is educated and trained in determining whether a potential site would be good for a pond or if it has noticeable limitations. Contact Scott Stephens or Mark Moseley for more information or to schedule an appointment.
For more pond management information, see the submenu under "Pond Management" on the left side of your screen. |

The guide includes checklists for use during construction and routine maintenance of ponds/wetlands, and also includes a home owner pond inspection checklist.
