  2. SUGGESTED STEPS FOR AGRICULTURAL POND EVALUATION & APPROVAL TO BUILD Note: This preliminary assessment does NOT constitute a formal soil or geologic investigation or a pond design, and should not be used for construction. The information on this form represents a preliminary site assessment to evaluate the feasibility of a potential pond site, and assist in determining the priority for engaging engineering services for a more thorough site investigation and design.

  3. SUGGESTED STEPS FOR AGRICULTURAL POND EVALUATION & APPROVAL TO BUILD • Contact NRCS/SWCD to complete Preliminary Site Assessment for New Ponds • Review potential alternatives for agricultural water needs • Review potential regulatory requirements • Determine availability of technical and/or financial assistance • Secure preliminary pond layout (DLR Dam permit requirements) • USDA-FSA Farm Serial Number - initiate AD-1026 for Wetland Conservation (WC) certification; Confidentiality Agreement • No USDA-FSA Farm Serial Number, take Preliminary Site Assessment for New Ponds to Corps, DLR & DWQ for a preliminary assessment of regulatory requirements • Construct pond only after securing required permits and/or exemptions

PRELIMINARY SITE ASSESSMENT FOR NEW PONDS • SITE CHARACTERISTICS • Estimated drainage area: 150 acres • Estimated pool area: 10 acres • Estimated depth of water: 8 feet • Estimated embankment height: 14 feet • Estimated length of dam: 150 feet • Hazard classification (if known): low • List soil map units in the area that are suitable for: • core trench offsite • embankment offsite

  9. PRELIMINARY SITE ASSESSMENT FOR NEW PONDS Is site’s topography generally suitable for an embankment or excavated pond, including an emergency spillway? __Y__ (Y/N) If No, explain in Notes Section. Do the physical characteristics of the site appear suited for development of a pond that can address the purpose indicated above and satisfy the program requirements? __Y__ (Y/N) If No, explain in Notes Section. Are there any known geologic or soil features that may restrict ability of pond to hold water, or require special design or construction? __Y__ (Y/N) If Yes, explain in Notes Section.
