While excavating usable fill east of the Honda shop, many rock formations were uncovered so today was the day to break up some rocks!

 

 

Before and After and the same for a couple of closeups of the larger rocks...

Learned after the video that there will be at least one more shot along the high wall, then some smaller ones east of Honda to reach up toward the top.

 

 

Before and After on the left and right sides of the shot.

I wasn't there the day of the last shot on the high wall and this may be nearly the last shot east of Honda. It depends on what they encounter as the material is removed after this shot.

So, after the shot yesterday it's time to start working off the loosened material...first video is with my Canon Power Shot S3 and the second is my first attempt uploading a video from my Moto X to YouTube. (Wish I'd tried some voice over comments.)

 

 

 

Three still pics...

No further Austin Powder activity since 7/16 and as material was being removed from the top, two rock seams have now been drilled for a shot next week.

On Monday the Austin Powder folks came in to set charges up on the hard ridges on top but dunno if they'll also include the pattern of holes by the Honda shop today.

Austin Powder was ready a little early today and the shot went of at 10:45, the video was taken from across the site.

 

 

The right end had the most charges but the hard ridges were loosened as well. Before and After:

The retention pond berms for stormwater runoff have been built up with clean clay fill and are now being covered with topsoil that had been stockpiled back in the beginning of site prep.
