Just had a look at the lunar charts, next full moon is in 15 days, so don't think it's a "high tide". I'd be happy with evapouration.Stayt`ie wrote:Cookey wrote:He had another quick look at midday yesterday (Sunday 29th) on the way out and there was moisture rising up from under the salt surface!!

Cookie must have had too many wines ! He got it around the wrong way. Midday the lake was dry, I returned around 6pm & the surface was wet. It was just the hot weather drawing moisture up to the surface.

Good point Pete he has a habit of doing that so we will blame it on the WineOLDtimer wrote:Cookie must have had too many wines ! He got it around the wrong way. Midday the lake was dry, I returned around 6pm & the surface was wet. It was just the hot weather drawing moisture up to the surface.

Re: Lake condition and forecast
Just keep working towards being there. We might not have the solution we were hoping for but we're not going to let that stop us. (What are you like at pissing into old coke bottles?)

With the Inspectors from Health S.A. who allegedly will be in attendance, I am sure that there will be some form of "work method statement" or "standard operating procedure" that will need to be followed.
As stated in the last DLRA committee meeting minutes, the new effluent treatment plant that will be installed will not be able to handle waste from chemical toilets such as those used by on site campers who stay at the lakeside camping area and bother to comply with the new regulations.
From what I have been able to find out, the new system that has already been purchased and as yet not installed, will only handle the toilet waste from the portable Loos as are positioned in the pit area & start line, timing van etc.
Please correct me if I am wrong and in doing so also allay concerns from other DLRA members?

Re: Lake condition and forecast
Hot off the phone to Kenny, & Kenny 2, they will not be available this year (not able to attend Speedweek) , nor will most of Team Silverton, and the two members who can attend, do not have a vehicle suitable for the dunny duties.
As a matter of urgency, I appeal to any DLRA members who would consider stepping up to the plate here,(job description in the volunteer register ) do so as a matter of urgency.

Re: Lake condition and forecast
Porta-potties was never in the scope of this project. Because of the chemicals and gelling agents used in these porta-potties they can not be emptied into a wastewater treatment plant (or a septic system for that matter) nor could they be dumped in an open pit as we had done with waste in previous years.Cookey wrote:With the Inspectors from Health S.A. who allegedly will be in attendance, I am sure that there will be some form of "work method statement" or "standard operating procedure" that will need to be followed.

These camper supplied porta-potties are only used at the Salt Bush camp which is managed by Mt. Ive. for the convenience of campers due to the lack of other facilities at this site. The agreement has always been, same as everything else, what you bring in, you take out.
If the DLRA is now being asked to provide a facility for campers to dump this chemical waste at a collection point and dispose of it, we can do that, but there would be a fee associated with that and it would be a full cost recovery model (User pays).
Also it is my understanding that the Dept of Health inspectors are more interested in illegal dumping from porta-potties than the DLRA collection and removal activities. So we all need to be vigilant and do the right thing.
Here is a link to porta-pottie dump points in South Australia - http://www.gps-data-team.info/poi/austr ... _Australia
I can confirm that no waste treatment plant has not been purchased by the DLRA.
When I notified our contact at the SA Dept of Health about our change of plans and why, there was no mention of a procedure that we would be required to follow. The requirements of a collect and cart option was fully detailed in previous discussions when we first contacted Dept of Health and we have permission to do what we are now trying to put into place. We are very fortunate to have a contact at the Dept of Health who is giving us great support. I will be asking the question today of the Dept of Health as to how the inspection process for the collect and cart will work as I have had no detail on this to date.

Re: Lake condition and forecast
Cookey I stand corrected.
I've just been informed that we did have to end up paying for the Waste Water Treatment Plant.
It is currently being stored by the supplier.

Re: Lake condition and forecast
Are we there yet?
I'm bringing a couple of newbies, so I hope the stinking heat and lousy rain stay away.
I checked with the satellite mob, but there's no new photos as yet.

Re: Lake condition and forecast
Someone was asking for a Lake Condition report.
At the working bee the lake was found to be in very good condition.
Members did not drive onto the lake as they did not have permission to do so, but walked out for some distance.
Rainfall for January 1.2mm, average temp 31 degrees.
Mt Ive Daily Rainfall data nearest weather station to Lake Gairdner that records rainfall
Kimba Daily Temperature This is the nearest weather station that records temperatures
Climate Statistics for Nonning Nearest weather station to Lake Gairdner that records climate statistics
