Friday August 10, 2007 –Installation of the temporary sheet piling turbidity barrier continued in the river along with the removal and disposal of historic sheet metal piling (flume piling) from within the contained portion of the turbidity barrier. Air monitoring throughout the project area continued. Dow’s contractor continued collecting background turbidity data from turbidity monitors located upstream and downstream of the project area. Work activities at the containment site included; the off loading of equipment and materials, electrical, pumping storm water to plant sewers, delivery of additional pump and set-up, geo-bag deployment and header pipe assembly, PVC odor control piping, HDPE fusion welding, and dust and track-out control.
Saturday August 11, 2007 - Dow Contractors began the installation of a new permanent sheet piling wall along the eastern bank within the enclosed portion of the temporary turbidity barrier and transported/staged sheet pilings at Reach D Project Area. Air monitoring and turbidity monitoring continued. Work activities at the containment site included; the off loading of equipment and materials, electrical, PVC odor control piping, HDPE fusion welding, storm water controls, survey and as-build work, and dust and track-out control.
Monday August 13, 2007 – Installation of new permanent sheet piling and the setting/driving of temporary sheet pilings between Dows upstream and downstream bridges. Air monitoring throughout the project area continued as well as turbidity data collection. Work activities at the containment site included; the off loading of equipment and materials electrical, HDPE fusion welding, storm water controls, construct service road near Sump A, work on 3” water service, top soil and restoration work, and dust and track-out control.
