I have a 9 acre pond that was constructed about 3 years ago. I have a limited amount of drainage, only 75 to 80 acres.
I had a small amount of seepage but treated with benonite, which seemed to help.

Now I notice that I have wet areas that are from 10' to 40' away from the base of the dam on the dry side. These areas are in undisturbed soil. I do not believe that these existed before building the dam. I do have some springs in the area. Could the dam core have blocked the natural course of a spring causing the spring to surface or could this be a leak ?

Any ideas, should I treat with bentonite again?
