Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Building a dam New pond seepage. Is this normal?

You have a point. There is between 20 to 30 ponds without dam leaks within a 5 mile radius of us and none used a sheepsfoot to compact their dams. Seen were two ponds are bring built just west of us and no sheepsfoot roller around the sites. Fellow who built ours didn't use one and our two neighbors didn't have one used on compacting their dams.Landfills around use them. Maybe it's just a regional thing when building a dam.
