If you have to dig a hole 270 feet wide by 470 feet long to a depth of 15 feet, you've got a lot of digging to do. The volume is a simple product, so 270 x 470 x 15 = 1,903,500 cubic feet. Since there are 27 cubic feet to the cubic yard, you've got 70,500 cubic yards of dirt to move! If your trucks carry 12 yards, that's 5,875 loads. That's a lotta fill!,
