Was it easy to pile up or was more like soup? The damn is in a floodway so can't pile it there but want to berm it up as high as possible. I've heard it can take a very long time to firm-up.
My muck did not dry out but for 6 months, but was not hard to scoop and drop. One day the excavators had left at quiting time...all looked good piled up on the back side of the dam until the next morning...the muck "lava" had slowly flowed and spread out 6 feet further than they wanted and filled in a catch basin that had to be dug back out. At one point, I tried walking out on the freshly piled muck and would have sunk into the stuff until my eyes were the only thing showing had I taken one more step. It can be decieving and therefore dangerous.
