Pond Excavation in Wayne County: FAQ

Often. Work within 500 feet of a lake or stream, or disturbing one acre or more, generally needs a soil erosion permit, and ponds near water or wetlands may need state approval. Check with the county and EGLE first.
It depends on the purpose. Ponds for fish often include a deeper area so fish survive winter, while retention basins are designed to engineering standards.
Test holes tell you. Clay soils usually hold water well; sandy soils may need a liner or a steady groundwater source.
