First we had a timber company log the hardwoods off the site and a few weeks later (last week) the contractor showed up with a D8, D6 and a track hoe. The site is extremely dry from mild drought, but today we had over 2 inches of rain which should help them compact the soil. The dam width will be roughly 75 yards and is going to be a long lake filling up a ravine to roughly a 3 acre lake. Good clay was under 4 feet of sand. core is 4-6 feet wide. The contractor pushed all the sand back behind the dam. We are putting in two 8 inch syphon drains.
