    I searched and searched a few years ago for info and never could find anything


    The Corps of Engineers will assert jurisdiction over any named features from the USGS topographic maps. That’s not to say it isn’t done frequently. But if they were ever called out they would have a problem with it if it was not permitted.

      Not sure all the regulations but I’ll ask my cousin as well. I personally think it had something to do with selling water for fracking. Since it was a natural creek he was only allowed to sell a certain amount of barrels a year. We had the little TCEQ tucks all over when they one was being built. The other one if filled all by natural runoff and no problem.

          Checked with my cousin. It was because we were selling water to the oil companies. They only allow a certain number of barrels a year from certain waterways which I guess a "named" creek is.

            Am I the only one that still calls it a tank? A pond must have a jogging trail and a park bench. Lol.

            Its mind numbing how many people in Texas these days call a tank a pond. Must be yankees or Californians.

              Whomever is working a natural drainage into a pond or tank better keep a lid on it in today's world environmental regulations

                I figured you would've weighed in before now with this take. As soon as I read the title, I was counting down until you said it was a tank

                    It's only a tank if you are using it for livestock. Then it is a stock tank.

                    Clips go in your hair though, not guns

                        lol. Its a tank where I come from as well. If its built for the cattle to drink out of, fish or swim, its still a tank.
