8:45AM- The work crew started dewatering this lagoon today. They are pumping water from this lagoon back into lagoon #182 across the street.
9:30AM- We had a pre-construction meeting with residents that live on this lagoon, the Aster Fields Neighborhood Rep (Bill Mitchell), and several members of the Phase 5 Lagoon Committee. Todd Doupona and Allison Tucker explained the work that was going to be done at this lagoon, and also answered residents questions. The plan is to leave pump on over the weekend (daytime only) so that dredging can begin on Monday. Todd explained to residents that because the width at one end of this lagoon is very narrow, the 4:1 embankment slope requirement means that this section of the lagoon will not necessarily be 5 feet deep, but may actually come to a "V" shape at that end. However, he assured residents that the lagoon will be dredged to ensure that the average overall depth of the lagoon will be 5 feet minimum. Todd also explained that the weir in this lagoon was lowered some time ago because it was constructed too high initially and was therefore creating a problem in the wetlands on the other side of Sun City Blvd.
4:00 PM Update- No activity at this time. The lagoon is pretty well dewatered now. Allison was going to notify the Estate Management "fish recovery team" so they could attempt fish recovery sometime today (they usually do this late in the day). I see signs of fish but I can't tell if there are any large ones in this lagoon. The two photos were taken at about 4:00 PM today.
