154.0. "What gives at the end of the L.T. lot?" by MILPND::EMERSON_P (check last login times) Mon May 08 1989 14:35

    	I see, at the end of the Lower Thompson lot, a fence has
    been erected around a "drain" (big enough to be a boat ramp),
    and wooden posts and beams installed. The most curious part
    being a conveyor-like apparatus lying on the ground. Any
    idea what goes on?

154.2Fresh Fish catcher for Tobin's?ASABET::CUNNIFFThu May 18 1989 19:5214
    It's a canoe launching/loading ramp? :-)
    
    
    
    I'm guessing they're going to dredge the pond, but don't know why
    they'd do that... but if they did, they'd have to remove the stuff
    from a barge with something, and the belt would do the job...
    
    any other guesses? (inquiring minds want to know!)
    
    or can you top our silly guesses?

154.3algae collector?MILPND::EMERSON_Pcheck last login timesWed May 24 1989 20:567
    	Hmmmmm... I see now, there appears to be a small surface
    "boom" (like the kind used to control oil spills) attached
    to the bottom of the thing.. Wonder what they plan to collect
    with it? In about a month, they'll get one heck of a lot of algae!

154.4gettin' 'garbage' out....ASABET::C_AQUILIAThu May 25 1989 16:159
    
    the job is being done by in-house maintainance and the contact/manager
    for this particular job is Gordon Baker.  you can reach him at x9246.
    i spoke to him earlier about this briefly and from what i could
    gather they are cleaning the garbage out of the mill pond.  there
    will be a dumpster there shortly too, fyi.  hope this helps-
