"The PASS would be dozed into the pits from the prepared truck tipping areas. Trucks would not be allowed to tip directly into the pits for safety reasons. A floating dredge would be used to pump the PASS from the sides of the pits to enable an even distribution of the PASS across the pits under water.
The water in the pits is naturally alkaline with regular pH readings over the last eight years varying between 7.4 (7.0 is neutral) and 9.2. The range is thought to result from variations in rainfall. pH measurements would be regularly taken during PASS storage and agricultural lime would be added to the water if required to ensure the water remained alkaline.
The water in the pits is also saline and neither potable (drinkable) or usable for farming purposes. Salt content in the pits, as measured by electrical conductivity (EC), over the last eight years has varied between 9,500 ECs and 19,000 ECs. Greater than 2,000 ECs is usually unsuitable for irrigation while good drinking water is less than 800 ECs."
Apparently there are massive carp currently calling these pits home
