Im down in Texas, all we have is clay down here. I’m assuming this core trench isn’t needed if the whole dam is made of clay? It just needs to be compacted well and call it good?

Good use of local resources. We don't have access to large limestone over most of North America, so we use other natural methods to create shorelines.

I hope that you went to the core engineers, considering I know Gardner, Kansas rules because you were in watershed for Hillsdale Lake, and any ponds that are built or cleaned out in this area have to go to them first otherwise your be filling that pond right back in

It’s interesting to see your input, but, crucial to ensure accuracy before making such statements. It's important to understand that regulatory processes vary from project to project, and assuming a “one-size-fits-all” approach overlooks the intricacies of each situation. As a reputable contractor, we meticulously address all regulatory regulations, permitting, and legal requirements prior to project commencement. While we value your comment, it seems there may be a misunderstanding about the specific requirements in this area. Have you encountered a situation that led you to believe this and feel inspired to comment? We've completed numerous projects in this area and the surrounding area (this is simply 1 video published of many more to come), some projects without involving the Corps of Engineers, as it's in fact certainly not always necessary or required. We're here to address any valid inquiries you may have, but it's essential to differentiate between informed questions and assumptions. We're committed to delivering exceptional results while upholding the highest standards of compliance and professionalism.

Any way to contact you I have some questions about a pond I am looking to build?
Making people's dreams reality. Awesome so wish I could afford 100 acres with a nice home and a 4 or 5 acre pond with about 40 acres cleared to plant a tree orchard that would have about 20 trees of evermore from different apples, oranges, peaches, cherries all kinds of fruit and nut trees and about 20 acres of closed in farming of everything from livestock and vegetables to be a self sufficient farm. In the USA we e used to have so many farms like that with farmers market goods and live stock that could be raised and so much of that is gone these days and self sufficiency along with healthy grown goods are gone these days because it is to hard of a living for people to want to get in to even though there is money to be made everyone wants easy money but people don't realize our even understand how important that kind of life style is to are communities for truly healthy food and healthy living. The old saying used to be many hands make light work. Today most of the new generation haven't even heard that saying because they believe getting rich doing nothing is more is the best way to be, so the youth don't want to get in to that kind of life and don't care about the importance of it. So that leaves the ones that have always done it getting older and having to buy expensive heavy equipment to do the same things they used to hire people to do to get things done. I hope with the fact that you guys can build these huge water reservoirs for drought seasons not to mention a place for fun with family and friends entertainment from get togethers and fishing. Hopefully more people will get back in all the things I've mentioned because what you guys do make it possible. You guys are awesome keep up the great work and hope you be blessed for the great work you guys are doing.

Is this core trench, usually this wide on your dams or was necessary due to the length of the dam?
@bulletproofponds9 ай бұрын
This core trench was this wide mostly because of the equipment that was filling it had to fit inside of the trench. Typically, the width of the core is = to 60% of the dam height.
@brucevogel26939 ай бұрын
@@bulletproofponds Certainly understand the trench width being constructed to accommodate the width of equipment. It appeared twice as wide as a dozer or packer. Not to be argumentative, just looking to understand. Your equation of 60% of the dam height is interesting. Nice finished product and a wider key way (Core Trench) must definitely appears as if it is beneficial and have its advantages. Working my way through your video's and thoroughly enjoying myself. Keep up the great work.
