Another update:
We have been having horrid internet issues, so I apologize for the delay.
Our equipment operator we contracted with had appendicitis on October 4th, and surgery on the 5th. We have
rescheduled the project for November 1st.
Have a great weekend!

> As per our previous conversations, we will be replacing the open spillway which drains Settling Pond #2 with a metal
standpipe. We have contracted with Sheffield Excavating for this project. This project is scheduled for October 5‐6,
2017. At the conclusion of business on October 4th, we will cut off water to the flume and allow the settling ponds to
drain to their lowest level. Both settling ponds will be cleaned, which will lower the water level sufficiently in Pond #2
to allow the work to be performed "in the dry", without the necessity for pumping.
