Bill Cody, would you skim off the top nutrient layer and deposit it out of the watershed and then deepen an area closer to the dam as far out as you wanted while placing the spoils in the shallowest areas furthest from the dam? If you didn't skim the nutrient rich muck and deposit it outside the watershed, would you run into problems with the nutrients going back into the renovated pond? If a person were to do something like that, what is a good depth to shoot for, and do you recommend a 3 to 1 slope on the edge of the pond. This is an idea we had not considered, but I can see where it would be much less costly than trying to dig out the entire BOW and transport the spoils elsewhere.
