Burg, I have met the "Iceman" and see him quite frequently around town. However, I try to keep a much lower profile than he and his entourage. The town sure does get excited when he fights though.
DBR, good point with the lateral dispersion. Indeed there is a considerable application process including culturing the bacteria and stirring the much a bit to seed it. We do this by dragging a long chain behind a boat to disturb the top couple of inches of sludge while pouring the activated and diluted
bacteria solution into a funnel behind the boat. We do this over the entire surface area of the pond to ensure full coverage. In fact, here is a video link of an application done by our sister company Air Diffusion Systems (ADS). It also shows the "sludge judge". The movie is a bit slow and cheesy but it is a good demonstration of the testing protocol and application.
