John, when you formed the dam, did you notice the amount of sand, clay, and rocks/gravel ratio during the development of the dam? #1 to #4 all plays a critical role in defining what happened to the water, but NRCS forgot to mention that the voids also increased when you have rocks/gravels within that dam, generating higher seepage volume through the soil medium.
All the clay around here has a few small rocks in it. It's totally unavoidable. There are ponds around here with more rock in the clay than mine has, and most do not leak as much as mine does. I think I have rotting roots in the dam causing the majority of the leakage, but again, I may be wrong. "It's a strange pond."
