[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 214182, member: 1863"] I have a 4 acre pond on the property that I just bought. According to the neighbor back when the pond was built about 20 years ago it held water fine and was even stocked with fish. A decision was made to build a spill way by installing a culvert at the top of the levee at one end. The spill way was put in and the ground re-packed with a backhoe but a leak sprung at the base of the levee below the spill way. No attempt was made to fix it they just let it drain down to the point where only 2 or 3 feet of water is left standing in the bottom. This shrunk the pond size down to about 3/4 acre and saplings and trees have grown up in the pond bed. Ducks love it but I want to try and fix it so that I will have the 4 acres of water back. Does anyone have any experience fixing pond leaks? Should the leak are be torn back out and repacked with a heavy dozer and the soil mixrd with a commercial packing agent? Any help would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
