Thanks for the input so far.
Was hoping the hard pan would reach a saturation point and just not take anymore.
We hit gray clay at the bottom but am not sure I can find enough available in the area to line all the sides at 100' x 100' and 10' deep.
Will a product like ESS-13 be the way to go? Keeping in mind the sides have many small rocks in it that you can never remove all of.
Also will dig some test holes and perk test and send some soil samples in.
Called Spring Creek a few years ago before starting to build and they gave me a list of things I would need to for the pond. One was clay but they mentioned a couple of other things. Maybe I can find that. Once I sent them a picture of my old place they seemed to lose interest in going much further. Think they want more high scale customers. It cost me about 20k to landscape the area, since I did it twice! The first time it was just too big and last summer we took the dam down 3 to 4', removed the island on the natural dide and it now blends in much better to my place and my neighbors place behind me. He has a seasonal pond below mine and I want to make it a year round one. It is not too big and testing ESS-13 on it might be an idea.
