If I understand the code correctly, the minimum value obtained using the 6 formulas should be what is...

    Pond excavating

    Contact your local USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and check if they have soils maps of your area. This will give you hint as to what type of soils are in the area. They also have a Pond brochure that has some good information. As Bill suggested, dig some test pits but don't get in...
