Thats bull****...If its dished and swells out it is not going to cut
any channel. A standpipe is mopre prone to leaks from channeling
along it than a earthen bem type overflow properly planted without
lots of drop to it.
Get a clue Jim..your clueless right now and flying by assumption.

Just a google search of ~ROY~ sure results ina heap of
forums, lies, drival and atrocious other **** yu stir up. Maybe you
need to go get laid or something...
Typical drival form a washed up and wore out homo motor cycle redneck who
can't keep a lover yet alaone learn to get along with much of
anybody but his hipcrime sock puppets......duh!

Al,

When a pond overflows, you run the risk of a channel being cut on the
dam. An overflow standpipe rsolves that quite well.

I have just moved into a property with existing pond. Here in Fort
Wayne,
IN, it has barely been winter. Lots of rain and moderate
temperatures
(30-40). The pond is really filing up, toward over flowing. It is
approximately 1/2 acre in size, maybe larger now... Should there be
an over
flow? I will look in spring, assuming that the water level drops.
This is a
large pond, recommendations on books to learn from?
