Lagoon #174 Update

8:45AM -Workers arrived to "pull" the plug in the curb inlet. They were told not to pull it until the corner of the lagoon that had eroded was fixed. The PBG Superintendent on site arrived and after much discussion told the workers to pull the plug. He said corporate gave him orders to return all rental "plugs" today.

9:00 AM Update - Todd Doupona arrived after they had started pulling the curb inlet plug. Todd said that they needed the plug elsewhere. He immediately got the landscaping crew on site to start fixing the corner of the lagoon that had eroded due to water coming from the wetlands via the defective lagoon #175 rip-rap overflow.

2:00 PM Update -Seeding the embankment, repaired some of the damaged lawn.

4:30PM Update - The landscaping crew ( many) spent the rest of the day on the project. They used wheelbarrows to bring the soil from streetside to the lagoon so they would not damage the lawn (or at least minimixe any damage). They also filled the large hole that had been dug previously for the large pump.

Lagoon #176 Update

11:30AM- Excavation continues. The two excavators have really made a mess of the Whitney's yard. The excavators are now really close to three lovely pine trees and concern is that the root systems of these three trees made be significantly damaged so that they will eventually die off. There is also concern that the underground viaduct pipe leading from the lagoon to the junction box in the side yard could posssibly be damaged from the weight of the excavators.

Lagoon #175 Update

8:45AM - Preparing to grade the common area next to the Pepper's home.

4:30PM - Common area has been finish graded and ready for sod to be installed.

Lagoon #176 Update

8:50AM-Both excavators continue to dredge the lagoon. Part of the embankment is higher than the rest of it. I assume they will "knock the high spot down" so it is level with the rest of the top of the embankment.
3:45PM Update - Apparently the contractor determined that there was too much gumbo to use on the embankment and decided to remove some of the material via dump trucks. One of the excavators is very close to the wetland and also very close to three large pine trees. Neighbors are concerned that the roots of the pine trees may be damaged. They are also upset that they weren't informed of the change in plans ahead of time.

Lagoon #172 Update

5:20PM-The NW corner embakment had been restored and new sod put down. There is a small area remaining for new sod installation. There is still more resodding, landscaping/replanting, and sidewalk repair remaining.

@5:00PM - Six workers arrived and started removing the soil dropped on the street by the dump trucks.
