We have one of the mini-dams almost done. Should finish it yet tonight.

I am still cleaning out some of the topsoil from valleys and etc. Have topsoil about six feet deep in many spots... Which leads me to a dilemna... In cleaning some topsoil out of a ditch, I noticed water coming out. Overnight it filled up some and I'm thinking springs...

I am enthused about the potential upside of having springs, but I am concerned about the possibility of having a large siphon (spring) near the bottom of my lake.

I could probably fill the area back in with clay and pack it. It would have about 25' of water above it so lots of pressure. Should I fill the area with Clay and forget the topsoil or dig out the rest of the topsoil?
