Ponds & Lakes

Ponds and Lakes Delaware County New York

Did you know that you can impound only three million gallons of water before needing a Department of Environmental Conservation permit? There are many technicalities that must be addressed when considering building a pond, but one of the most overlooked questions is “Will it hold water after construction?” Many don’t!

A properly constructed dam-style pond will have a core trench and a natural virgin-ground spillway. Soil analysis needs to be done before construction begins, and then there is the most obvious…..the water sources to keep your pond full.
