Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Soil questions Pond SILT::::::::::Using Silt For Levee Repair?

My dirt guy used a track loader (full bucket on front) and started in one spot and removed muck down to solid clay and keep doing so until the muck was removed. The idea is to always keep the piece of equipment on solid clay bottom. The clay got slippery, but stayed firm. At one point near the center of my pond the muck wall was 8 feet tall. The only trouble we had was when the muck landslided, but it was not a big issue. Rubber tired equipment would of had a hard time however due to the slickness of wet clay. Tracks are the key.
