Hi All,

Thanks in advance for your help.
I have a 1 acre pond that I want to cut in half with a dam to make it easier to seal, fill from my well and maintain.
The pond is dry now, making construction easier.
The dam would be about 55 feet long and about 6 feet high.
I live on a very rocky site, so don't have any extra soil to build the dam.
Should I build the dam from:
1. concrete blocks?
2. Concrete pumped into forms?
3. Concrete bags wetted down?
4. DIrt and clay that I truck in?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Use the "free" clay that you posted about in your other post, line it with the liner from BTL liners and you are done.
