I have helped build many ponds with my daddy doing the figuring and bidding on the jobs. He passed away recently and now I need to bid on a job without his help. Here is the info I have the dam is 14' feet across top for 500 '. It has a 4:1 back slope, 3:1 front slope. It is backing up 12' off water at center off branch. Clay is a reasonable 6' deep. I know we cannot get exact amount off dirt needed to build this dam without looking and studying site but can someone give me a guild line _ formular to use to help. He could just look at site and put in bid but he had build many, many ponds in southeast ga. Why don't we say the things we should and ask the questions we could have befor its to late?
