I'm in the process of constructing my own dam. I'm renting a 30k excavator,a d6 and a compactor. Just measured my dam to be 25ft tall and about 100ft long. I'm damming up a ravine. What's your guy's thoughts on a 2:1 slope on water side and 3:1 on the back side. I have great clay material and plenty of it.
He's done with my pond. It took him couple hours to dig mine with just a D6 because due to trash, I can only have a tiny 1/8 or 1/10 acre pond. He said with great clay like mine it didn't need compaction. He was right. No leaks and it's full.
