When building a pond designed to best hold water, why would compacting the soil too much be a bad thing?. IMO the extra cost of using a proper equipment or the best soil compactor is similar to pond insurance. Not always necessary, but great to have when it is needed plus it adds an extra amount of soil sealing ability/'structure' especially in a small marginal area of unnoticed, inconspicuous, poor soil composition is present that could easily be the main source of a leak.
