Central IL
Just start hogging dirt out of basin area pushing to the dam area. Be sure to pack as you go. Don't add more than 6" at a time to get it packed good. Just doze next to the riser it isn't hard to avoid it. How long has the tile been installed? If recent and trench isn't settled you need to settle it with water. Farmable dry dams get pretty wide in order to farm so hopefully you can dig a big enough basin to get enough dirt. Depends on the lay of the land where you are working. Should be able to just eyeball basin area when done and make sure it all drains to the riser.
