8:45AM- They are trucking the "gumbo" away. Both large excavators are being used to facilitate the removal. The 1st excavator positions itself to easily load the truck with out having to move position, while the 2nd excavator is used to "feed" material to the 1st excavator. The hole that was dug yesterday and filled with "gumbo" was just a temporary storage hole for some of the gumbo. It is NOT being permanently filled with "gumbo". Also, the excavator operators explained that while they were excavating near the rear of the lagoon (near the weir), the excavator sunk so far into the "gumbo" that the material was about to enter the operators cab. So they went as far back into the lagoon as they could without endangering the excavator. Hopefully, all of the material will be trucked out today and they can start putting the lagoon embankment back to it's original condition.
4:00PM Update-Dredging is completed and all equipment has been removedfrom the site. The tilted curb inlet pipe to the lagoon has been removed, and the lagoon has been refilled. Next step is to rebuild the lagoon embankment and complete the landscaping.
