Went back out to the site yesterday afternoon to take some pictures. It was in the low 40s and the snow was melting a little and it rained over the weekend, so there was frozen water on the low areas, so you could actually see where the low areas are. OH boy am I excited. I really do not have any place that is going to require much if any dam. My big project will really only require me to remove topsoil and add bentonite to help seal the mish mash soil we have here.

It will be a Y shaped pond with steep banks on one side and gentle slope on the other. Need to play with the sat photos but I would guess it is going to be about 6 acres. Going to get lakeshore management out to the site and see if they are going to give me any grief given parts of it will be within 1000ft of the natural "lake". But, I am not be affecting the lake watershed at all. Only worry that I may not have enough watershed for 6 acres, but I can always steal some water from the big lake, to at least help get it filled in the spring of 08.
