Cranked pumps up at 4:45. Pumped storm water till 7:30 to get low enough to start forming to pour today. Had to reset all sand bats in box and MH because yesterdays rain washed everything out. Poured box culvert collars and tie ins from 3-4:45. Today we got load of concrete hauled off. Left big 6" pump running tonight! Maybe water will be lower in the morning where we can tie 48" ADS pipe into box. Will crank up pumps early in the morning.


Set up pumps and removed 2" of rain that flooded structure #s-100, formed and poured connection collars. Mudded new box culverts to #s-100 and sealed off all lifting locations. Installed change order tree barriers and began clearing and stacking contaminated wood from pond excavation.
concrete contractor completed collars. Excavating contractor continued pond excavation.

Met with excavation contractor to discuss problems with pond. Told him all slopes and pond bottoms will have to be grade before ground water can be pumped to holding area for excavation can be completed. Called Beau to let him know the situation and what I told the contractor would have to be done before anymore excavating and exporting of fill. Beau said if we have to set up pump for dewatering to go ahead. I told him we can't pump until they complete a section large enough to hold the water. It is to turbid to pump off site and he agreed.

Problems: pond slopes are not correct and have to be resolved before transfer of water from existing pond.
