[QUOTE="dun, post: 1300234, member: 34"] Some years a go one of the ponds always seemed to lose just a tiny bit more water then it should have. One day I went to it and it was down about 12 feet and had a huge hole in the dam. Got to looking in the hole, about a foot in diameter and all the way through the dam. It had rotten bark lining the hole. Dug out the bark, made a square hole a foot or so deep twice the size of the leak hole. Packed the hole with bentonite and filled the square hole with the same then covered it with clay. Hasn;t leaked a bit since, and that's with a head of about 16 feet when it's in the spill way.
