Obert, grab some dirt from where your pond is, enough to make a softball sized clod of dirt. Pack it down so it's good and hard. Place that ball in a bucket of water. Observe the clod, the longer it stays a ball, the better, if it begins breaking down quickly, the pond needs some dirt work that includes clay or some other substance to seal it.

I wish I had the issue of Pond Boss that I read this out of to get you the exact timeframe to observe and analyze.

Omaha, that looks like a very fun project! I've spent many hours playing in the dirt with a bobcat!!! Keep up the reports.
