Our guys have been busy this clearing the site for the diversion dam at 'Back Valley' on the river that we will be diverting part of the water from to supplement the flow at the intake dam for the penstock.  They also cleared the path from the intake dam down to the site of the turbine house.  That's two km so a lot of work to do with a cutlass.  Fortunately, we had a good number working on the clearing and they finished today.  Attached are some pictures of the sites.
