This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in earthworks.

For this BB, you will build a full-sized pond that holds water without a liner (sealed bowl style)!

All Natural Pond Without Liner


Minimum Requirements:
  - ΒΌ acre
  - at least 10 feet deep for half the footprint
  - dam is no taller than 8 feet
  - no pond liner
  - no bentonite clay transported more than 100'

To get certified for this BB, provide proof of the following as pictures of a video (<2 mins):
  - equipment and materials at the build site
  - the site before construction begins
  - partway through the build
  - sealing the pond
  - demonstrate the pond holds water
  - completed build a full size pond that holds water without a liner (sealed bowl style)  that meets the above minimum requirements
