cliffbrook, thanks for the comments. I will provide more details and will upload photos later today. I have owned the pond for about 15 years and have done no work/fixes to it other than to have the trees on the back of the dam which roots were pushing thru the dam, removed about 4 years ago. The pond is about 14 feet deep at its deepest (closest to the dam) but has lost at least 7 feet of water, much more than the normal evaporation i see each summer. Goal is to return the pond to its full measure by fixing the leaks. No issue with budget to fix the problems. Dirt contractors (2) gave me the advice on what to do next so since I perceive them to have a vested interest in the advice they gave me - i turned to other owners for a less biased response. Thanks.
