Flow through filter fence installed on the downstream side of the culvert at the crash site to halt the migration of the tar-like crude oil. Installed on 4/5. Close up of the Crash Site filter fence showing trapped tar balls. Filter fence below the crash site culvert as of the morning of 4/6 Control Point 1 as of the morning of 4/6. Filter fence below Control Point 1 on the morning of 4/6. 3rd filter fence installed at control point 2 (lower road). Filter fence below upper culvert, notice crude chunks that collected overnight (was clean prior to leaving the day before). Filter fence below control point 1. Lower filter fence above lower culvert, water is slowing and backing up. Bottom control point prior to Strawberry Reservoir, minor amount of crude, mostly organic matter building up. Filter fence below control point 1, higher stream flow with a little more crude trapped. Filter fence below upper culvert, notice muddy water from increase flow resulting from all-day rain event on 4/7. Filter fence above the lower culvert, water spreading out as flows have increased. More crude is trapped this afternoon compared to the amount present in the am. April 9 photo of 1st filter fence location after contractor cleaned the area and removed several bags of crude. Contractor also fixed the fence to allow more water flow but still trap any crude particles. Water levels were dropping. April 9 photo of containment point 1. Contractor removed several bags of crude that had backed up at this point. April 9 afternoon photo of the 2nd filter fence after contractor cleaned several bags of crude particles and fixed the fence to be more efficient. April 9 morning photo of lower filter fence. Containment at this fence appears to be working correctly as nothing is trapped in the containment booms at the lake. Cleanup contractor setting up to start washing stream banks. First filter fence at the end of the day after the hay had been replaced with fresh hay. Picture of the new or 3rd filter fence. Very little crude is making it to this point and what there is small particles about 1cm in diameter. Occasionally a bigger piece will make it to this point but no crude has been observed moving past this point.
