Coach, why don't you siphon the pond to nothing, and get a bomag vibratory roller from NationsRent. Something like $300-$400 per day will do it. You will only need it one day. Run it over and over the floors and side of the lake.
Thanks for the suggestion.
At the rate its dropping I may not have to siphon it at all. We were really hoping the inflow from the spring would offset the questionable soil content. It did not. Luckily, the builder is a reputable family friend who will do all he can to fix it. At this point the plan is to drain it til we can stockpile enough suitable clay then spread and compact the snot out of it.
