I've talked to two separate people, whose name's i can't recall, over the last week told me they were putting a pond in on their land. One already had, and the other was in the process.
I then asked if they would tell me about the permitting process, how that went with site selection, any environmental considerations they had to take into account, soil tests, etc, etc... Both smirked and said, nope - didnt do any of that, just digging a hole and hope it holds water.
What kind of risks are these guys taking in doing this? I get the risks that the dam may not hold water, but more so curious about legal risk/fines/remediation, etc.
