I have been going out and having a look at what is going on about every month or so. Although I only have a basic understanding of the project, it is not hard to appreciate the huge amount of work that has been done.
I could not ask too many questions last week because the wet weather had made the site unsafe for work, and most of the persons were absent including the site manager. I was fortunate to find two employees engaged on work relating to the actual treatment plan who allowed me to take several photos of the progress.
The two large storage ponds have been almost completed with the Westernmost one having been scraped down to it's full depth. here you can see the state of the earthworks which were very slippery and treacherous, I had visions of me slipping on my rump and going home with a "wet bum and no fish" so to speak. I guarantee that I was three inches taller by the time I had walked back out to my vehicle, such was the buildup of clay on my boots.
and the one to the East of it having had the lining installed and is now partially filled with water.
This photo is taken from the far side of the ponds standing on the southern embankment looking towards the town.
