Lagoon #182 Update

8:30 AM- The clock has started on this lagoon. The pre-construction meeting with Pulte Reps., Todd Doupona and Allison Tucker was held on-site this morning. Dewatering will begin today and probably take 2 days before the dredging operation can begin. The water will be pumped into L-172 across the street. L-172 flows into L-171, which then flows into L-174, so neighbors on L-171 and L-174 might see a temproary rise in water levels, even though it doesn't rain. Dredging will focus mainly on the eastern-most half of this lagoon. The western-most half of the lagoon is deep enough. The soil dredged from from the lagoon will be used to build up the embankment and provide the 4:1 slope required by DHEC. Estate management services is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon to do fish recovery. Todd stated they will work on L-182 every day until it is completed (estimated at about two weeks).
When they complete L-182, they will move on to L-208 in the Phase 6 area. When L-208 is completed, the team will return to our Phase 5 Aster Fields Neighborhood and remain there until they complete the reconstruction on the remaining six lagoons - #172, #173, #174, #175, #176, and #183 in that order.

4:00PM - Two pumps were on site but only one was connected. However, it was not "on". The 2nd pump had its intake hose in the lagoon but its outlet hose was not connected. It looks like they may be planning to use both pumps to drain this lagoon. Hopefully, pumping will start tomorrow.
