The pre-separator-area blocks were replaced today by Bevan and Travis, with Grant present for photos and observation.

Photos are attached of each block replacement.

Some difficulty was encountered in replacing the "Layer #3" blocks (photo 9 attached).  An interference occurred between the outside of the west "Layer #3" block and an aluminum channel directly beside the rubber pad that supports the block.  The block was initially resting on this channel but slipped off, breaking off some concrete at the edge.   See photo 12 attached and notice crumbled concrete inside this channel around the area where the interference occurred. Photo 14 shows the damaged block edge.

It should be noted that when these two blocks are resting flat, there should be a gap between them (i.e. they should NOT be touching as shown in photo 9).
