@ P.Hooton. Since none of the "experts" answered your question. I will give you my opinion. (which is what you asked for,"So any ideas on what an undertaking like this would cost, or anyone in Eastern NC that does this work?

I think a budget of $50,000 would be a good figure to work with. I have built 2 ponds on my property and have had quotes to build additional ponds and this is about what it runs in my part of the country to build a quality pond of that size. This is just an "idea" of what something like this might cost.

Good luck with your pond building!!!

Just as a side note... My main frustration with this forum is trying to get a straight answer when you ask a question or for an opinion. You asked for ideas on what it would cost, A idea!! Not a quote, not a guaranty, not a written estimate! For crying out loud people just give the lady an "idea of what an undertaking like this would cost" She is not going to file suit against you if your "idea" isnt +/- 3% of what it ends up actually costing her!!!!
