The NCRS came out today and met with me about the pond. Virtually the best possible case. The only problem is the soil (slightly). It is ok for a pond, not great. I will hold but during summer will drop a bit. So I asked about trucking in some clay she said that might help as the clay content is not a high as it should be. The drainage area is fine, the water shed is good and everything else is in line. Luckily I don't have to get a state permit based on where the pond is, but I have to check with the town to make sure no permit is needed. This drops the permit fee from $500 to $20-$30. So now the next phase begins. I have to plan the exact size and parameters and then start digging.
