9:00AM - There is still a small amount of water in the lagoon from the recent rain, so the pump is "on" this morning. The excavator operator was getting ready to start dredging. His 1st order of business today is to uncover the inlet pipe that extends from the curb drain. The excavator is mired in the lagoon muck but, although you can't see it in the two photos above, there actually is a large wooden mat constructed of railroad size timbers submerged in the muck that makes it easier for the excavator to move around.
1:45PM Update-Rather than trucking all of the "gumbo" out, Pulte has decided to spread most of it along the NW corner of the embankment. Any remaining "gumbo" will be trucked away. Once the "gumbo" has dried on the embankment, it will be graded and resodded. If the "gumbo" doesn't dry out sufficiently, they will install the Enkamat stabilization material before resodding the embankment. This process has been used successfully on several other Phase 5 lagoons. The top photo, taken at about 1:45PM today shows the dredged soil being spread on the embankment. The middle and bottom photos were taken at around 9:00AM
