I started work on the banks today.

I'm cutting down into the clay as far out as I can reach with my CAT 225. Then shape the banks with my D6C. I will then layer ~2' of clay down from where I hit the clay digging, all the way up to the rim of the basin.

I don't have a sheepsfoot roller, so hopefully driving on the clay with my dozer will pack it in place enough to avoid serious erosion if we get down pours.

I have lake laid clay, swells up a great deal when it gets wet, almost acts like betonite, so when it gets wet initially, it should hold to the banks pretty well I hope.

Here are some pics:
