thx for the quick followup ...
I'm fairly certain of the soil ... it's loam (4"-8") followed by sandy gravel for as deep as I could expect to ever go. In fact about 4' down I found what could be considered beach sand (at the top of this ridge). I also have coal deposits! Nice eh?
It's small enuf area that using a liner won't be too big a deal. Does this make the "design" easier? For example, will a well installed liner negate many of the worries of seep through failure?
Even talking to any gov agency in my county about *any* use of _my_ property is probably going to get me to some supreme court ... I'd prefer to sidestep that.
