My daughter dug the pond by hand, [
] well, part of it. It was a punishment for her when she was in trouble. She had it dug out to about 8x8 and 3' deep when I finally got the skid steer out and finished it. A back hoe would be much easier.
The pond permit is through F&G. No idea about the county.
I fill it with my garden hoses and it takes most of the day. My well puts out around 17gpm. I also have a sprinkler line running to it that adds water a few times a week. I live west of Blackfoot in the desert. You do have to add water as evaporation can be bad in the hot summer. The soil out here is rock and clay.
It will have to be lined or you will never keep water in it. My liner was about $1000 and truck shipment.
A few plays to look at "parts" and where I ordered most my items are:
unitliner.com
AZponds.com
webbsonline.com
Most parts I bought from AZ Ponds. Liner was from Unit liner.
Here is a pic from the other direction.
