The Lake Tomahawk dam in June

 

Hopefully soon the orange fencing will come down.

This natural pump may be to a deeper well than just the water in the lake. I wasn't aware that it was there before the renovation of the dam. (Though previous photos do include it!)

The grass has taken root on most of the dam, which now has concrete reinforcement under it all!

 People are not being encouraged to walk up or down the dam on this slope.

Here are some shots of the iron reinforcement being placed back in April. It looks like they scraped the ground then gave it a gravel bed with this blue screen over it.

I thought I'd published photos from May of the concrete being poured into concrete blocks laid on the dam with reinforcing iron holding them in place. So here are some of those photos...

The amazing red crane is actually an arm of a power hose which delivers wet concrete wherever the crew indicates.

At the top is a trough of concrete, and going down the slope you can see the various concrete blocks.

Later, more dirt put on top, then grass cloth to start grass growing (I wonder if that cloth disolves over time.
