The pond has never achieved full pool since it was dry last August after the 2nd major rebuild/application. It has fluctuated 8-12 inches all summer and has been low 4 1/2 to 5 feet since March of 2022. This last and more significant construction effort did nothing to slow down the seep/ leak.
The silver lining I suppose is that we have a much wider dam that will do a better job holding back the last 4-5 feet of fill, assuming it fills over winter. It will also be a lot easier to the backside of the dam since was graded less steep with more material.
