HAB spent the first day of the project preparing equipment for the application. This included assembly of the barge’s application boom, programming the barge’s computerized dosing system, launching the barge into the lake, setting up on-shore storage tanks and confirming the delivery plan for the alum. The application of the alum then began immediately after the equipment was ready for use and HAB applied nearly 20,000 gallons of alum to Fish Lake by the end of the day.
