Pond Construction
State approval is required for all ponds planned in Maryland. A federal U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 Permit and Water Quality Certification may also be required. Generally, a pond that does not affect Class III natural trout waters may be exempted from state approval and authorized by the local SCD if it has less than 640 acres of drainage area; an embankment that is less that 20' high; and is a low-hazard structure, whose failure is unlikely to cause loss of life or property damage.
