I never really thought about putting any spacing in between the pipes. Actually it never occurred to me that putting them against each other could cause the Dirt to wash out quick. But it does make sense, now that you mentioned it Packing dirt in between and them compacting the dirt as you go is better. Sixty two years old and still learning something new.

Not sure what the slope of the drain pipe is over that 30 foot run, so I just guessed it as 6" over the 30 feet. _IF_ my guess is accurate, each one of those pipes could (in theory) move almost 26,000 gallons per minute. As long as they remain unblocked, I don't think that pond is going to need an emergency spillway, the overflow pipes should handle everything with EASE!
