I was running the bird dogs out at "the farm" yesterday, admiring my watershed and the little white flags that delineate "Lake Susan" (futile attempt at butt kissing). I was really impressed by the distance between flags on proposed dam (Susan calls it Dam Pedro).

Dam is going to be 450' long (4 x 1 back / 3 x 1 front), contractor calculates moving 24,770 cu yds of dirt at $1.60 per cu yd.

Also will install a 36" x 140' overflow tube w/ 48" seep collar for $5000.

I know dirt moving costs vary by geography... Would like input concerning cost
