My neighbor bought a tract contracted two months of dirt work, dug a $15k well and it wont hold water and I hate it because now it's going to turn into the next subdivision.

Because the Corps doesn't have AI scanning satellite images 24/7...

They sure as shit look at docks via satellite.

I had an uncle who was doing work for extended family on a bulkhead. They tried to sneak one past USACE and were met by a pocket protector type with a binder full of before and after timestamped satellite images. He says the images looked as if the guy was on site in a tree.

Docks and sea walls....

The smart thing to do before spending significant money on grading is spend a little with a geotechnical engineer. Once you know you have the proper soils, you can go to work.

It will definitely hold water I won’t be planting anything going to be moist soil plants a lot smart weed panican grass millets etc. just curious mainly about permits etc.

then why waste your time?

Bennonite will seal a pond bottom. Should be disc in prior to water.

Bentonite (Fuller's Earth) usually works. It is why we have a toxic waste pit, GSX, right on the shore of Sparkleberry...

Build it yourself, quietly and don’t let army Corp get involved.

No offense but this is not good advice. Some violations can be $10,000 a day until remediation is complete. I highly recommend talking to your county planning office and figuring out what permits you need and if they usually see USACE permits for that type of work.

Could you get it dry enough to plant Milo, corn, or chufa?

You will always have some art weed around the edges.

I own a Carolina bay. Over the years It has held water for years then dry up and stay dry for couple of years. In 1996 I contacted the COE to get permission to dig a canal in it to save the fish. COE said I could dig all I wanted to. BUT no spoil(dug dirt) could be placed anywhere that water has stood. I got on the edge and dug a 700 ft x 25 ft x 8 ft deep canal. placing the spoil on the hill side of the canal. I also planted Cypress trees in the bay. This was 1996. Digging the canal. Once down about 2 ft of pond soil we hit red clay all the way to the bottom of the dig. Rain filled up bay. Stocked with fish. when the bay would go down the canal saved the fish. Then in 2020 we went into a mega drought and the canal dried up and I lost the fish.
2021 the bay/canal filled back up and I restocked it. I then sunk a 4 in well next to the canal with a hi-volume low pressure pump. It will pump a little more than 50 gal. a minute. 2022 the bay again dried up but I'm keeping my fish wet and happy in the canal. Wife and I ride down on the golf cart and fish. We throw back all the bream and shell crackers and keep the bass to eat.......Yes. Running the pump cost some money. But the pleasure we get form it out weighs that. we usually have wood ducks. I have duck boxes installed.

No way man. Just dig. federal Court can't be that bad (sarcasm fed dicks)...

My bay has been dry for awhile I have a tower stand in with 5 lanes cut through the bay from it. The lanes are nice and green with oats now. Place produces a buck every year when it's not underwater.

[bitesize]

FAFO, the USACOE can flat fuck your world and your check book if you get out of your lane. And yes, geotech will pay for itself in this case.

[Southernduck]

I wonder if this Supreme Court case being heard right now about the SEC and their BS judges and courts can get applied to the COE.
