Swiss, thanks for the reply. Yea I probably should have included more info in the original post. I contacted zoning and planning and they have stated I do not need a permit for a pond under an acre which is the plan. NRCS has stated the same and there would not need to be a site visit conducted unless I requested one. I did request them to come out, but they kinda blew me off and gave an excuse about being behind on their USDA stuff. Told me it would be after June before they would come out.
I have a couple of test holes which are holding water, but I suspect irregular soil in the area. Some extra might be warranted. From reading it looks like I need to also do a bucket test. As for the Sheeps foot. I will have one delivered now due to the responses I have received. I am hoping to avoid lining with clay since there is a clay content a couple of feet below grade.
