Talk about sticker shock, I get that every month when I get my fuel bill. these machines seem to consume a lot of the stuff.

That does seem a bit high tho for a pond that size, I am sure they had figured the hauling off of the spoils over run, it depends on how far they had to haul it to find a place that will accept it, and not have to pay to dump it too. usually around here you are able to find somebody with a small property that wants to fill in a draw or something to make their yard flatter.
