There's certainly some wildlife at the treatment site. Harriet, the geochemistry field dog, checks out a wood turtle. No animals were harmed in the making of this photo. Here's a recent overview picture showing the SAPS and Pond 2. Grass and clover have taken hold fairly well.
Some bare spots remain.
Steve Cassaleggio is sampling a monitoring well in the foreground. Here are the inlets to the standpipes which replace the old spillway. BAMR installed standpipes and drains in the second dam. BAMR is also lowering Carbon Run back to its original stream bed by allowing the water from Pond 2 to flow through two culvert smaller than the original. This action will lower Carbon Run by about 2 feet.
