Hello B Relan.
As you probably know, there are many factors to consider in building a pond or small lake. I don't know what type of help you have received from NRCS or from a civil engineer, but hopefully they explained most of the basics to you. It sounds as if you may have a good site, soil-wise. What about drainage area, spillway feasibility, impact on adjoining property, utility easement considerations, and other critical factors which must be evaluated? Has someone looked at your site and discussed these specific factors with you?
