Cleaning the pond <br />bottom would allow for better percolation of surface water into the <br />ground. Enlarging the pond would provide for more capacity and more <br />surface area for evaporation. <br /> <br />Prior to enlarging the pond easements over the ponding area must be <br />acquired. Also, soil borings in the area should be completed to <br />determine ground water levels and the permeability rates of the <br />existing soils. <br /> <br />Enlarging and cleaning may not be the ultimate solution; however, it <br />should minimize the problem provided the ground isn't completely <br />saturated and the existing soils are permeable. The ultimate solution <br />is to provide a drainage outlet to the Mississippi River. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />civil · municipal · planning · soils · la~;d surveying <br /> <br /> <br />
