The Construction Progress
pictures taken June 25, 1999

A shot of the site from the front of the building looking toward the lagoon area at the far left near the trees.
There are hundreds of cracks like these in the concrete floor of the building. These cracks were likely caused by the concrete drying too quickly and without sufficient water to cure properly.
The culvert in the centre of this shot runs under the McNairn Road. The water from the diverted spring once ran under the road and is Fork "A" of Mill Creek on the map. The damp ground on the right is another spring.
The diverted spring now runs toward the site instead of toward the road (in the background of this picture). Also, the lumps in the foreground are baked mud not gravel.
Looking from the road toward the site, the spring which once flowed through the culvert into the Mill Creek now flows toward the site.
A shot from the lagoon area toward the building site. The green clumps are a brook. On the dirthill, behind the brook, is a stake for the edge of the lagoon. The stake is approximately 5 feet from brook.
The brook at the south side of the lagoon area is Fork "B" of the Mill Creek on the map.
These bulldozer tracks indicate that equipment has been driven through the running water of the brook. The Clean Water Act strictly fobids this.
This shot of the soil in the lagoon area shows dark patches which are still damp after 6 weeks of very dry weather.
This footprint indicates the type of soil in the brook which is approximately five feet from the south side of the lagoon.
