When ours was put in back in the late 50's, we removed any top soil (with a Dozer and Pan), then cut a "Key-Way" deeper into the Clay bottom, to build the Dam on.. Ours is about 1 1/3 ac, in a creek bed.. Cleaned it out about 15 years ago..had about 6' of silt in it..used a siphon made of plain 4" non-perforated tile to drain it (worked great).. Ended up using a Sludge Pup to suck out the wet muck as the Dozer shoved it to the pump. Then used a Back-Hoe with an "extend-a-Boom" as far straight down as it would reach to dip the solids..Dozed what we could out into the field but that is like shoving Soup.! Cut your Banks as steep as you can get away with..they will taper in time anyway.. Then, you will need to be watch-full for Muskrats..(always).. Minimum depth should be 6' or more, so Moss and Algae do not take over.. Amora algae eaters do help and are impressive in size.!!
