Lagoon #174

9:00AM - Pre-construction meeting with Todd Doupona and Allison Tucker, Lagoon Abutters, and Phase 5 Lagoon Committee members. The plans were reviewed with the group. Dewatering is planned to start today and run 24/7 over the weekend. Water wil lbe pumped into lagoon #171 across the street. Whatever water can't be pumped into L-171 will be pumped through a large filter bag into the wetlands. Allison will provide her contact info in case the pump needs servicing over the weekend. Allison will also contact Estate Management Services regarding fish recovery so they can coordinate with Warren. Todd will have the dead tree along the embankment removed as long as it is not within the wetland area. The embankment along abutters' properties is not expected to require any work and should remain untouched.
The large excavator had been mistakenly dropped off early this AM at the wrong location, damaging some sod and a tree. There was also concern that the underground water supply pipe to #26 Star Flower may have been damaged. Todd immediately had a crew dig up the area to verify the water pipe was not damaged. He then initiated getting both the damaged area and the tree replaced. They will not use this entry path when the work is completed but will, instead, bring the excavator out through the common land access on Orchid Lane.

1:00pM Update- They are working on getting the pump/dewatering process setup so they can operate over the weekend.

6:00PM Update - The first pump wouldn't start so PBG brought in a replacement pump. dewatering actually started at about 5:30PM today.
