Aerial views from the south (left) and west (right) taken 2/21/02.
The eastern-most portion of the containment area (adjacent to the
existing soccer field) has been covered with the geosynthetic engineered
barrier and then topped with 18 inches of clean, sandy-looking soil.
Soil continues to be added to the remaining portion of the containment
area (the darker brown rectangle in the middle of each photo). Construction
has begun on the pedestrian boardwalk across the southern wetlands
(the tan line through the darker wetlands -- in lower portion of
south photo and to the right in the west photo).
