I don't have the final tally on cost, but the
dozer people get $85/hr for each machine.
They usually charge by the cubic yard ($1.00) and
use NRCS's total yardage estimates, but since
we could not get NRCS cooperation, the hour
rate was used. The dam pipe cost $1000 plus
installation. I have not even estimated lake size, but it will not be very large. The dam
area should have 3 to 4 acres of water and the
creek body may contain another 4 or so acres.
The size could easily have been tripled had the
county road constraint not been an issue.
