I have a small (about 30 ft across), low lying area on the landscaped
portion of my property that serves to collect mel****er runoff from
about 1 - 1.5 ac. Over the past few years, at maximum melt, the depth
of this depression approached about 3 ft with the potential if not
drained to stay that way for two or three weeks.


Did you ever consider installing a drain pipe?

Sounds like your home has drainage issues, how about regrading, run
downspouts etc well away from home.

This is way better than pumping water and can be a permanent solution
requiring no maintence.

Hard work and disruptive but fixes it forever, espically at home
resale ime when you will HAVE to disclose it, and scare away buyers or
HAVE to fix it then, or worse sell for a low price:(
