The area that the waste discharged to is currently being dammed by beavers and the water has risen to areas not usually under standing water. Mr. Bailey is working on getting a back hoe to help dig a hole, to pump from, in order to collect as much discharged waste as possible. IT. Bailey has acquired additional hose and pumps to pump waste back to lagoon. Mr. Bailey estimates that about 2 inches of waste from the lagoon were lost to the grassed drainage way and wetlands located behind rm. Mr. Bailey is working on getting aluminum pipe laid fromjust up from the beaver dam in the low area to pump waste and surface ater back to his lagoon with his irrigation pump.
