Please don't use the dredgings from the pond to repair the dam (levee). It's best if you have room, to push them to the back slope of the dam and spread them out to dry for a few months, then smooth and seed. If used in the dam, the silt could cause further leaks if it lacks the proper clay content. We renovated and cleaned the silt out of our pond about 23 months ago. The silt took nearly a year to dry sufficiently to spread and shape.
