So six months later something is finally happening. What I failed to say earlier is that my county road department was going to be the ones to dig the pond out. Well after lots of stroys about being there next week they finally showed up. The first pond is just over 1-1/2 acre. And where the excavator sits it is 3-1/2' deep at full pool. They are taking out 8' of dirt as far as the excavator can reach.and will be going 700 linear feet along the bank. I am so excited that I can hardly stand it. Here's a pic. I will keep everyone updated.
