If all the elements in both the path and the pond are in the same object then they should triangulate between themselves and not slope down unless the are sloping to an element between the pond and the road...
If you want you can send me the dgn and gsf to have a look.

Josh,
there's a couple of things that could help.
1) Set the Project Max Triangle length to something larger... that should force the Object triangles between the elements that are adjacent. Measure the max distance between the elements (where u want to see a straight grade between them) and make the max triangle length a little longer than that.
2) Add some elements at the ends between the Berm and Path and drape them onto the Object by vertices. That will foce triangulation between the two elements. This is probably the better method to sove this issue as the Max Triangle Length effects more than just this one Object and may cause undesirable results else where.

Michael B,
Here are my files. Thanks for taking a look.
the attached data has the triangulation of the Pond Object as you want (at least, as I think you want it) :-)
No way could I get that Pond Object to behave as expected, so I deleted the Object (not the elements), created a New Pond Object, went to Object Edit>Elements and selected all the elements and added them into that new Object.
Then it behaved itself...
Sorry Josh, just saw your post... Your better off with Michael anyway... Hes the guy that taught me what I know. :-)
