Glad you made it out, Scott. Perhaps I have an overactive pituitary, but your pics raise several nagging questions for me about the pond. Anyone is welcome to chime in, if you have knowledge (or just a wise ***** remark
)
1. Does the presence of filamentous algae in the outlet indicate anything significant for the pond itself?
2. How major of a goose roost does it take before goose waste becomes a problem after ice out in terms of adding too much nutrients?
3. Can you see the 4x4 post directly above the outlet pipe? There's an electrical box on that post. Does someone knowledgeable about dam design know if that is some kind of pump/drain?
