Here are some pictures on my new project. It will be about 0.5 acres. It is so dry this year, it was a perfect time to start. I bought a used Deere 550G dozer and got started. I have designed many ponds as a civil engineer, but this is the first one I am building. It is in northern PA, (Bradford County). I am there most every weekend so progress may be a bit slow. I spent about 20 hours on the dozer to clear the stumps, strip the top soil and start to stock pile the clay on the back edge on the berm. It started raining on Saturday so I did not want to start the key trench. The forcast for Saturday is good so I will put the key trench this weekend.
