LFBFP Construction Update

It has been an outstanding week for us from a weather perspective.  Unlike the previous week when we received two solid days of hard rain right in the middle of week, this week we have only had light sprinkles.  At the site, the crew has been working feverishly with as many as 14 workers attacking different deliverables:  (1) the southern entrance has been cut to its final grade, the catch basins are almost complete and the surface is being covered with stone.  We will allow this surface to remain this way until fall when we will asphalt this part of the road and the parking lot immediately adjacent to the WPIAL Softball Field.  (2) Retention  pond #3 has been fully cleaned out of silt.  (3) The multi-field complex is being brought to final grade and large amounts of earth were moved to this end.  We created a new diversionary trench along its perimeter to route water to Pond #2 and take the pressure off Pond #3.  (4) The county is in the process of finishing its paving of the road on the southern perimeter of the site (Camp Meeting Extension).  The catch basins and storm water pipes across this whole section are new and fully functional.  Many, many thanks to the Allegheny County of Public Works for stepping up to get this done!  The crew has been working 12-hour days all week so they will most likely take the weekend off.  We await the artificial liner for Pond #2 and once that arrives, we will immediately drive to install the clay and artificial liner into that pond.  All is going very, very well.  Huge amounts of progress this week and we look to continue the pace next week.
