12 inches generally, however the thickness can be a product of the clay (how impermeable is it to water), the water depth plan above the clay.
Make sure you water and compact the clay layer with a sheep's foot vibratory roller.............remember a dozer is designed to be light on their feet, their tracks spread their weight out over a large surface (theirs tracks) giving you lower psi at the soil surface.

Thanks for the pics. I always like to see a project underway. However, I will say that the comment above is important to remember. You need to make sure the clay is compacted, otherwise, it will not hold water. Many DIY builders think the dozer is heavy enough, when in reality, it is not close. What type of excavators have you been using so far? I always like to know what kind people are using!
