Proving a pond remains one although it has a 10 foot pipe going through the midlle of it??

Question

I am building a subdivision and the minimume size pond must be half acre.I want my entry road to go through the middleof the pond with a huge 10 foot colvert pipe style bridge.The problem is that a person says i have to ponds under half acre.I say i have one pond covered with a bridge.how do i prove that ??Plus is that still one ecosystem??

Answer 1

A 10-foot pipe is some mother of a pipe, much bigger than a tall person can walk through standing up. The pond is so small to begin with that a 10-foot pipe provides plenty of flow between the two parts of the pond. You have one pond.

Answer 2

!) Calqulate 1/2 acr.into a circel------say ,rope -on ground, hook two ten ft. poles-to rope.move straight sections almost together, bridge whatever gap you wish ! dont chang the length of the rope, the shape may chang but the water coverage will still be a 1/2 acer! !
