       Finally, the Tioga Crew has reached the Brockport Village
       Limits, which is Zone 37 from Sunflower Landing to Main St
       Bridge. Each Zone will be completed to the "pre-grass" prep
       portion BEFORE moving on to the next Zone. Zone 36 is West past
       Main St Bridge to the next Double Orange Marker on the ECT.
       Here's what a typical Embankment Dam Repair looks like folks...
       Just in Pictures. Keep in mind these steps are all going on
       simultaneously throughout the work zone. One end is at an
       earlier step while the tail end is clearing the the remnants of
       the final steps done there. All Outboard Slope re-contouring
       including adding lots more dirt, will happen after March 21.
       Grass planting will be Mayish from all indicators.
       And one LAST NOTE.. this Tioga Constrution crew is doing all
       this WHILE people who ought to know better are still trying to
       use the Erie Canal Trail. Folks, if you want to watch fine.. but
       PLEASE stay out of an active construction zone, you wouldn't
       take a walk on Rt 390 when works crews are there..  show some
       respect..please.

       For those interested in the Quality Control part of these
       repairs... EACH Root Ball Extraction repair has to meet a Soil
       Compression Test Standard which is measured by an Independent
       Third Party,  CME. That company's Geologist, uses a measuring
       tool similar to the one shown and tests each spot 3 times if
       needed. Then they compress one spot very hard and grap a maximum
       compression value as a fourth baseline value. Very scientific
       methods being followed here and the repair show it.
