How did you calculate the volume of sewage and sediment that entered Mill Creek as a result of the December 17, 2005 spill?
The volume of the sediment and soil from the sinkhole was estimated using field observations and from photographs of the initial sinkhole. Bayland estimated the volume of the sinkhole to be 1,700 cubic yards. The estimated volume of sewage that was deposited into Mill Creek is summarized and described below.
