tile outlet

I have field tile that was outleted to a small creek, but a new Kohl"s warehouse has changed that. They installed a new retention pond and our field tile was plugged during construction, but has been reopened with the outlet now dumping into retention pond, now field drainage has slowed until pond drains down. Is this legal according to Illinois drainage laws?

Is the overflow of the pond higher than the outlet of your tile.

If so it may be illegal.

Thorny issue, you need to visit your county offices & talk to their Soil & Water, FSA, and county atterny, then likely hire your own....

It shouldn't be, but of late ponds are so cool, it doesn't matter how they hurt other people, they will just love that you have a pond on your farm too now, it is so wonderful to have ponds, you can have some wetlands CRP money and we all will be happy.......

Blech.
