This week brought back the warm temperatures and sunshine! Along with those comes the runoff from the snow melt and the muddy mess left in the wake of the rock trucks that drive through the parking lot every ten minutes. The parking lot currently resembles an extremely oversized mud puddle that only exists in the dreams of kids everywhere. The main gate entrance remains closed as the contractor finishes the last of the three ponds and continues to haul north across the parking lot and along the east edge of the driving range. Visitors are reminded to use the maintenance gate and follow the road through the parking lot, outlined by the barricades and caution tape, and to observe the posted traffic signs. Please keep in mind the haul trucks are very large and when loaded can weigh in excess of 30 tons. The operators use extremem caution travelling through the parking lot but the weight of these trucks make them difficult to stop quickly.
The end of February always signals a change in staffing levels. Ed and Paul have both started and are working on some shop organization projects. Ed is also completing some tree removal. Julie is on holidays and has charged me with watering and tending the greenhouse in her absence. Hopefully all will be well with the remainder of her plants when she returns. The end of this month also marks the end of Mike’s position as Assistant Superintendent. He has made the decision to stay at home with his son and will definitely be missed in the maintenance department.
Questions concerning any of the information here can be directed to the EPGCC Maintenance Department through our Twitter account, our Facebook page, or contact us directly at the shop.
