From the transcript
So our intent would be to excavate the gravel underneath the water table. This site, where the water table is, it's 10 to 12 feet, so a majority of the gravel is actually below the water. So typically what we would do is we would remove the overburden, take the gravel down above the water table first, and then we would dig down to whatever the either the bottom of the gravel or what the equipment can reach, and that's what creates the pond at the end of the day.
