To answer some of the above questions. They are doing samples now with the soil. It is actually done thru the state dept of transportation but they subcontract with contractors who will be digging the pond in exchange for the dirt.

It will only be one pond. They are testing different areas to make sure the land is suitable as to not cause slips etc. It will be a watershed pond but there is an old well close to where I am hoping to have it built.
