I plan to build a 2.5 acre pond in an area that will very likely need to have a plastic liner. The site is in a relatively low lying area on my property near San Angelo Tx. It has a theoretical 460 acre watershed, but area has very subtle slope.

Will I still need a core trench, and clay for the dam, or can it be built up from the abundance of caliche that we will very likely find just beneath the soil? NRCS folks are coming out next week to survey the site, and tell me if it will be considered a pit or dam pond. It will actually be a combination due to the topography, but needs to be classified as one or the other according to NRCS.
