Today was a unique and exciting experience for a HAB. We have certainly not ever had paratroopers landing in the lake during any of our previous alum application projects! It was a privilege to share the lake with these specialized and highly-trained troops on an exercise from nearby Fort Bragg. They launched their rescue boats from our worksite and watching their efficiency was impressive.
Our application continued uninterrupted as we enjoyed some more beautiful North Carolina weather. Well over 18,000 gallons of alum and buffer were applied to more than 80-acres of White Lake. Daily lake monitoring continues to demonstrate that the project is progressing as expected. We remain on schedule and we look forward to full and productive days of work over the weekend!
