The pond is higher, or the structure is higher? If the pond is higher, why
do you have to haul any? ;<))))))

The pond is the legal 75 feet away from the new structure although its also
20-25 feet higher... Still more hauling than I'd want to do.
The road needed work anyway. First day of construction the contractor hauls
in a backhoe, they drop some trees and rough out the area. Then its starts
raining. Then it starts POURING. They get something like 4" of rain in an
hour. The contractor has to call for somebody to come pick him up at the
paved road. They leave all their equipment at the farm because they're
scared of getting it stuck now that the road has turned into soup. Its 2
weeks before the area dries out enough they can work more. He hauls in some
gravel for under the slab, gets it framed up and the rebar in. Then we
proceed to have the wettest summer/fall/winter/spring in a decade. We don't
pour concrete for 1 full year after they started earthwork. The garage
sprang up in seconds compared to how long it took for the earthwork.

That's a lot of buckets of water to fetch from the crick a quarter mile

When we had the garage built at our camp we had a slab poured. The
camp sits ~1/2 mile back from the road so we had to reinforce our
access "road" (more like a trail really) for the truck.
Interestingly the roadwork wasn't to get the truck in it was to get it
OUT.
You couldn't just refill it with water and watch it leave?
