a note to the Phase 5 Lagoon Committee

.
I went by 164 yesterday. The tree is gone from the embankment and, ON THE SURFACE, it looks OK. The surface even looks like it’s been compacted.

A few weeks ago when I looked at 164 I saw this:

Uncompacted embankment.

Soil in embankments should be placed in LIFTS of no more that 12 inches and compacted.

Was this done? I doubt it. In order to compact it properly, they would have had to remove it all from the embankment and then put it back, IN 12-inch LIFTS, compacting it properly as they go.

Can I prove that they didn’t compact it properly? No. Why? Because I wasn’t there, and because there are no photographs or eyewitness reports. Advantage Pulte.

Has the Lagoon Committee alerted residents of the need to watch the reconstruction, take photographs, and report anything that looks amiss? Has the Lagoon Committee alerted residents of the compaction issue at 164? It would have been easy to do with a Phase 5 Lagoon Committee FREE blogsite.

Does the Phase 5 Lagoon Committee want Phase 5 lagoons fixed COMPLETELY and CORRECTLY, or not?





PS Pulte's "action plan" fails to address 11 of the 20 lagoons with bottoms higher than that called for on the approved construction plans. It also fails to address clearing underground pipes that connect lagoons and are vital to the operation of the system.
