Then either a helicoptor or the crane goes down the beach and gathers them for removal. The longer pilings must be cut to 6 foot sections or less to fit into the containers.</div> <div> <I><IMG SRC="1c7264e0.jpg" border=0 width="550" height="334" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="11" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="7"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="7" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> These photos were taken during a big storm in January 2002.

Repair crews came to salvage them and repair the dolphins. One was tied to the shore to keep it from floating away. The other was floating freely as loose pilings. Heavy wave action pounded them on the jagged rocks, ripping into the grain of the wood and further exposing the creosote. The smell of creosote at this site was overwhelming.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0f3a6df0.jpg" border=0 width="422" height="223" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> The light coloring in the center of this photo and the one below is from creosote being released into the water from the pilings in the first photo. </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="095b6260.jpg" border=0 width="438" height="294" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
