Location: south tyler county
Digging a pond that is 70 x 35 x 12Deep.
Less than 1000 yards of dirt due to slopping
Soil: Silt/Sand i believe maybe some clay
Open area that stays really went during wet season and holds water after a good rain.
terrain around pond: steady slope towards pond
Will dig pond beginning of june when drier.
Using a Cat D3G dozer only.... i know they re are better ways, but this is the way im having to do it.
How long would that take me?
Is 12 foot deep enough to keep water year around?
How long would it take me to spread 600 yards of dirt?
Could it be done in 2 to 3 full days?
I live on 13 acres of land.....will my 13 acres support an additional pond of similar size 7 acres away?
Will come back later when money permits with backhoe to dig deeper if need be.
Thanks
