Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Building a dam Washout in dam

Thanks for the input. The dam did not wash all the way out. It is washed out to about 3ft from the full stage of the lake. I think the orginal dam was a mixture of sand and clay. The dam already had bermuda grass on it. That was proubly what saved it. Another thing why it washed out was because the lake was already running around then had 16 inches in one night. The water has never been this high in 50 years of owning this lake and proubly will not happen again for awhile.
