Hey Mark welcome to the forum and congrats on the pond. You could be looking at a full rehab considering the small size and low water volume it's probably your best bet as there's no substitute for a high plasticity clay liner to impound water. I've worked on several rehabs on my farm and also for clients throughout the Midwest - happy to share my experiences if you want to chat sometime. Too many of my mistakes to relate here.

Just as an FYI - cleaning up trees, excavating silt and installing/compacting a 12-24" clay liner on a 10k sq ft pond here would run around $2,500-$5,500 depending on whether you've got clay on site or not and whether you recore your dam. Your costs may vary significantly, just trying to provide an idea. Feel free to reach out anytime: tj@hudlandmgmt.com
