I am sooo glad to have found this forum, my compliments to you all this is great!! I am in south central Missouri, getting ready to build a 1 1/2 acre lake, clearing brush, trees and debris now, i know I need to remove top soil and save it for the dam, but my question is (one of many ) do i need to remove all dirt, gravely dirt and rock from basin till i hit clay (which is about 5 to 6 ft deep)? (In our area what I see most call a pond they call a lake here, I dont know why but correct me on the term).
