I don't recall ever seeing a thread dedicated to assessing soil for suitability in pond construction but there might be one. I do remember reading that you can send samples in (I think to TAMU) and they will provide a report. I also seem to recall there is a test you can run on the soil using a bucket with holes in the bottom but I don't remember all the details. Sorry I can't be of more help. Hopefully, one of the other members will chime in with better info.

Good Luck!
