[QUOTE="NC Liz, post: 1071728, member: 20396"] Cross Here in the NE we call the area just before the water goes into the pound (tank ) a silt basin. It’s just a hole in the ground to let the water slow down and is used to catch gravel and silt so it doesn’t go into the pound and fill it up. It can be as large or small and deep as you need it depending on how often you want to clean it out and the water flow and amount of silt in your area. I use my front end loader to clean mine out in dry weather when the water passing through it gets to only about 2 in. deep in wet weather. For me that’s about every 5 years or so. [/QUOTE]
