New 9 Construction Diary.....Page 8
     
 new pond, #6 toward #5  Below the orange excavator is where the barn used to sit. #5 tee is up at the top of the valley. This area is being prepared for a sediment pond. The pond will become a permanent feature after the grass grows in.
     
 installing pump station with crane  Here, we are using a crane to transfer our new pump station from the truck into our pumphouse. This skid is several tons, and then there are 3 motors and 3 pumps to install. The hole in the floor is the wet well.
     
 installing pump shaft  This man is holding the bottom of the pump itself. It drops down into the wet well and draws in the water about 11 feet below the surface. This is why we have to maintain a minimum level of water in our lake. The motor sits on top of this shaft. Motors and pumps have to be replaced periodically, so we will have to leave a hatch in the roof so that we can have a crane lift them out when needed.
     
 new pond #6, from white tee  This is another view of the new sediment pond. This view is more or less from the white tee on number 6, looking toward the fairway. The middle of the fairway is in the slight dip, just to the left of the trees in the upper right.
     
 #9 green drainage  These show where the drain pipes are in #1 green. The trenches are filled with gravel. The next step is a layer of gravel, then a layer of construction mix (which is mostly sand, with some peat). Then irrigation lines and heads are installed, and it is ready to seed. It takes quite a bit more than a day.
