We did a little better then $1000.00 per drum as to the cost. I guess every pond situation is different, i know this new pond is way different the the other one we had in NC. Here, the soil / clay quality is poor. When I bought this place, I rebuilt the old dam as it had washed out in the center with the previous owner and regraded and sloped the complete bottom. About $13,000 worth of work. Now the guy who did the work isn't exactly stepping up to the plate as to fixing the dam problem. I don't know, the dam seeped through in the repaired area, saturated the backside which then slide down hill. He tells me "well all dams require maintenance".

Oh well, I'm just glad ESS-13 stopped the dam seepage and really slowed down the daily water loss. Now I've got something to work with.
