There are a couple of ways to go about this. First when you create your slope construction have it end a tenth of a foot from your "closing" point. it should not hurt the triangulation. Another thing you can do is to not use a civil geometry object for the bottom of the pond. You can draw closed MicroStation element in the 3D model at the proper elevation and use the 3D tools to build your slopes from there. An added benefit to doing it this way is that you can then use the "Move" tool to move the pond bottom element. All of the slopes and berms you have constructed from this element will move with it, including your "tie-down" slopes. This makes fitting a pond in a tight spot a breeze. However, it will be next to impossible to change the shape of the pond without reconstructing the entire pond.
