Watch the aquatic weeds in the pond if there are any for a few days after the storm. If they start dying, there was possibly some damaging chemical runoff into the pond during the t-storm runoff. Two inch in 15 minutes is probably going to cause more runoff than percolation down in the soil profile. The triazine family of chemical like atrazine combination products are highly water soluble. The existing grass buffer regardless who owns them are are going to help absorb the detrimental effect of atrazine related product. Buffers are good conservation. They may have caught any soil particles with chemical attached to them before they got into the pond water. But some of the chemical that was dissolved in storm runoff probably went into the pond. Depends how water soluble the chemical used was. Triazine family used to be widely applied on planted corn but don't know if it still is. Like Jerry said the only way to know for sure is pull a water sample out of the pond and have a water testing lab run an analysis.(expensive). Also watch your fish population, if they start to croak & float something could have washed into the water to cause that. A lot of environmental factors are active in ponds this time of year so it is hard to have cause and effect without a water sample analysis.
