We actually have a soil test for the hay fields surrounding the pond turned in as we speak. "we are about to fertilize for hay ) That should give us a ball park of what the soil is like in this area. You think that will be enough or take directly from pond. One of the test spots for the soil was only 20 yrds off the pond, in the middle of the watershed to fill it.
Oh,and about the exhisting pond, no no real drainage except when it is over filled by rain it would usually go around damn and pool up in drainage ditch for a parallel right of way driveway. It never did dry up, as small as it is it only dropped about a foot and maintained the level from then on. The large pond that I fish across the street dropped a good 4 ft or so.
