North Central Kansas | The pond may not be a cored dam. If it's really old, it was probably just pushed up and they don't hold as well. I should add this disclaimer, In my area, NC KS, we have limestone bedrock that's in layers. The water finds it's way through those layers on a pushed up dam. The best way to fix it is to core the dam. You must dig a trench through the bedrock where the dam will go. Then fill it back in with dirt. You can mix a little rock back in with it, especially at the top.
The soil?? There is something that goes on with that from being submersed in water all that time. Need a soil expert to comment, because I have a pond that is silted in from too many years of the offset disk. | |
