I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I thought I'd give it a shot. I was checking one of our ponds yesterday (NE Texas) and noticed it was low. We recently got 4.5 of rain so it should be full. I walked the dam and there's a wash out about 3' deep in the dam, maybe 2-3' wide. There are a lot of trees around the dam so I can't get my tractor in there and don't have a loader on it anyway. What is the best way to fix it? I was thinking throwing down a few bags of cement to keep it from getting worse then when it gets lower in the summer I could dig a footing and dig both right and left behind the bags of cement and build a small retaining wall. Our renter said he can get his tractor with a loader in there to fill in behind it once I get it built up.
Is there a better way to do it? I'm attaching a picture looking at it from the back where it's a little wider. Will the way I described be a legitimate fix? It's going to take a lot of manual labor so I don't want to do it more than once!
Thanks,
