Settling basins at Jordan River NFH

In late April, maintenance mechanic Bob Petersen and animal caretaker Ray Puroll worked on “One of the Dirtiest Jobs in America”.  Jordan River’s discharge permit requires an annual cleaning of the water treatment basin.  Petersen finds it easier to do three times a year.  The basin works most efficiently when clean, when a small quantity of its capacity is in use.  It certainly looks like the guys are not having fun, but we know deep down inside their reminiscing about playing in the “mud” as a little kid.  It is odiferous and messy, but it is sorely needed after a long winter of fish propagation. Thanks to Petersen and Puroll for another job well done!
