There's a pile of garbage under there. I figured if the next door neighbour could pile his old tires where they were out of sight, out of mind, I could do the same with my yard waste. Not the most environmentally friendly option, I know. But it's about the level of interaction I can handle with the neighbours...or just paying to have the garbage taken to the dump.
Moab, Utah
The scope of the Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project is to relocate mill tailings and other contaminated materials from a former uranium-ore processing facility (millsite) and from off-site properties known as vicinity properties in Moab, Utah, to an engineered disposal cell constructed near Crescent Junction, Utah. The scope also includes active remediation of groundwater at the millsite (Moab site). The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management in Grand Junction, Colorado, has primary responsibility for managing the Moab Project.
Uranium Reduction Company constructed the Moab mill in 1956 and operated it until 1962 when the assets were sold to Atlas Minerals Corporation (Atlas). Uranium concentrate (known as “yellowcake”), the milling product, was sold to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission through December 1970 for use in national defense programs. After 1970, production was primarily for commercial sales to nuclear power plants. During its years of operation, the mill processed an average of about 1,400 tons of ore a day.
The milling operations created process-related wastes and tailings, a radioactive, sand-like material. The tailings were pumped to an unlined impoundment in the western portion of the property that accumulated over time, forming a pile more than 80 feet thick. Although more than 90 percent of the uranium was removed during processing, radium and other decay products remained in the tailings, which have an average radioactivity of about 660 picocuries per gram of radium-226. The tailings, especially in the center of the pile, have a high water content. In the past, excess water in the pile drained through underlying soils, contaminating the groundwater. Atlas operated the site until 1984 under a license and regulatory authority provided by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Atlas demolished the processing buildings and buried them in the southwestern corner of the tailings pile and placed an interim cover over the pile as part of decommissioning activities conducted between 1988 and 1995. There was an estimated 12 million cubic yards (16 million tons) of mill tailings and other contaminated materials present in the pile. Atlas proposed to stabilize the tailings pile at Moab by permanently capping it in place; however, Atlas declared bankruptcy in 1998 and, in doing so, relinquished its license. Because NRC could not legally possess a site it regulated, NRC appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers as the trustee of the Moab Mill Reclamation Trust and licensee for the site. The trustee initiated site reclamation, conducted groundwater studies, and performed site maintenance activities.
In 2008 and 2009, DOE performed extensive infrastructure construction at the Moab and Crescent Junction sites in preparation for moving the mill tailings. In April 2009, DOE began relocating the tailings to the disposal cell. Tailings are excavated and conditioned in drying beds to reach the optimal moisture content for disposal. The tailings are then placed in steel containers with locking lids for transport to Crescent Junction. A gantry crane is used to transfer containers to and from the train at Moab. The Moab Project is currently shipping four trains a week, each carrying up to 156 containers. The Project is currently estimated to be completed in 2029.
At the Crescent Junction site, the containers carrying tailings are unloaded from the train onto trucks that take them to the disposal cell dumping area. The tailings are dumped through end gates in the containers and placed in the cell to meet compaction specifications. The empty containers are reloaded onto railcars and returned to the Moab site.
"Relocation" is a piece composed of two photographs of the same size side by side. In both photos, I am seen wearing a white dress shirt and black jeans. In the left photo, I am smiling, wearing red lipstick and on the left sleeve of my shirt, there are red pieces of fabric and 5 pieces of red yarn sewn on. There is also red and crimson food dye dripping on the sleeve. My hands are in a prayer position in front of the center of my torso. In the right photo, the dress shirt is plain, but my hair is messy and my eyes are dark with makeup. My face is distressed and my arms are by my side. Both photos are edited to have low saturation and to appear very dark and moody. The photos are also slightly grainy and have high sharpness. The concept behind this piece is self-harm and how people use it to try to turn their emotional pain into physical pain, but it's not an effective method. The mood of this piece is very dark and gory as it shows one bleeding out. It also shows irony, as in the middle photo, I am seen smiling while I'm 'bleeding out.' This piece is a self-reflective piece as it discusses my personal experience and struggle with depression and self-harm and how I've grown to learn that it is not effective and just causes more harm than one started with. This is portrayed as I tell a story through these pieces: the first photo shows me, clean, but in extreme mental distress. The second photo shows me bleeding and feeling at ease and experiencing a break from feeling miserable. The last photo shows me bleeding and in distress, tying in the message that self-harm is not a suitable coping mechanism to get rid of mental distress and just causes more harm that the beginning.

Wildlife biologists relocate a nuisance bear in Westernport
Relocated here from across the street. This is a new building built for Arbor Credit Union 1 or 2 years ago (can't remember).
Road Sign on New Road "HEDON - Historic Market Town" has been relocated from the other side of the road.
New arrivals to the relocation settlement are under considerable pressure to get their houses built, especially during typhoon season. Each family is given $1,000 and a plot of land. Some build for themselves, others hire contractors, but being new to the area, many lack a social network and are vulnerable to exploitation.
Demolition stopped briefly as this Raccoon relocated. Kudos to the amazing demolition crew.

Bear and Bison
by AUTUMN JOHNSON
They were there for years and then one day ... they were gone. Anyone who has been to Pleasanton can tell you that it was tough to miss the almost-life-sized bison and bear statues that stood guard for years on the corner of Bernal and Pleasanton avenues.
So where did they go? According to employees at the Amador Dental & Orthodontics, the bear and bison were removed in July 2014 at the request of the new property owners after the building was sold several months ago.
Dr. Craig Sjorberg, owner of both the dental office and the unique statues, told Patch that he built the building in 1999 and recently sold it.
“An investor from France bought the building and expressed safety concerns over the statues,” Sjorberg said.
According to Sjorberg, the new owner asked him to remove not only the statues but the American flag from atop of the building as well.
Sjorberg, who calls himself a “staunch American,” says he has looked after the flags for 15 years and offered to continue to do so but the new owner declined.
Of the statues, Sjorberg said, “The bear and bison represent our American heritage as they roamed the land. We would see people taking pictures outside with them on a regular basis over the years.”
The duo was relocated to Idaho where they are presumably continuing to proudly represent all American fauna in their new home of the “Gem State.” Amador Dental & Orthodontics will remain open, despite the sale of the building.

Stream relocation project in Germantown, Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) is relocating an existing stream, which currently runs in a straight
roadside channel along Donges Bay Road just east of Fond Du Lac Avenue (STH 145). Latitude, longitude is 43.2062, -88.082. The road is being widened as part of an
intersection reconstruction. The DOT is shifting the channel away from the road and reconstructing it into a meandering channel with rock/riffle material and native
plantings in the riparian zone.
Photo from October 17, 2015. The channel was constructed in summer 2015. Currently, the new channel is "dry" and disconnected from the existing stream at its upstream end;
the existing stream will be rerouted into the new channel in 2016.
Plans and specs for this project are available online from the Wisconsin DOT bidding website. It is State project 2475-00-72. It was Project 16 from the March 10, 2015 bid
letting. I've included a couple snapshots from the plan set.

Historic Mulberry Creek Bridge in Schulenburg, Texas. The bridge is a wrought iron, single-span Pratt bedstead pony truss. It was built in 1888 by the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron Works and its sub-contractor, A. J. Tullock and Company. It was originally located on Schulenburg-Flatonia Road over the West Navidad River, before being moved in the early 1920s to County Road 291 (Hermis Road) over Mulberry Creek. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 (NRHP No. 75001976). It was also designated as a State Antiquities Landmark in 1981 and as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1990.
The bridge was moved to its current location in Wolters Park in Schulenburg in 2001 where it serves as a pedestrian bridge over Schulenburg Creek. It was relisted on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013 (NRHP No. 13000888 as the Bedstead Truss Bridge).
We moved the loader into place with the fork touching the end of a tie to hold it in place. Set a plate where it would belong in oder to center the entire set on the ties and drove a spike in far enough to hold the plate. We moved the rail to where it belonged and then with two of us holding onto the rail the third person drove two spikes home. We affixed one end and then moved to the other end. By then we had worked out some tools to use. First we established a center line to follow. That was done by nailing a string in place down the center of the ties. Next I built two jigs or templates that would fit inside the rails at exactly the proper width. We also marked a center line on each jig so when it was in place the entire rig could be moved left or right for centering pruposes. Finally, we used a come a long attached under the rails to hold them against the jig while spikes were driven in to hold them at the proper guage.
