A couple of considerations.

First, a road crew may not have GOOD pond building experience. There is a lot of difference in construction dozer work and building a home for fish.

Second, their objective, it sounds like, is to get free dirt to build a road. If the hole they make in the ground doesn't hold water they will be down the road and you will have a mess.

Ask them where they intend to get the clay for the core. If they don't understand the importance of that, I would back away from the idea.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
