Mike and Dave;

Depth is very possible, it all depends on how deep the clay liner is that is holding the water table in place?. In my case, a drag line couldn't be used....only a large escavator...therefore my lake depth is from 4' to 12' or so but mostly 6'-7' or less but my water table is approx. 2' higher in the spring than the heat of the summer period..Think of a clay liner as a saucer holding in the water.......once you dig into the water table and remove the aggregate the by-product is open water....the only determining factor is how far down before the water table and the clay meet...and the clay moves up and down throughout the areas. Once a pit operator hits clay he stops digging and moves forward whether its 2' below water or 10' or more. The only real think is that the pit operator pays me to dig my lake.......thus I have approx 20 acres of surface water at this point without paying one cent, although I'm forced into receiving monthly aggregate cheques if sold by the pit operator.
