Clay,

 

Thanks for the update, I guess I don’t need to tell you that they’ll probably be requesting a construction inspection in a few weeks when the certification report is finished.

 

Have they made any progress in reducing the leachate head over the lined areas?

Thought I’d update you on LNI’s new cell, which is visited this morning.  Rognes Bros, Lake Mills, is doing the contract work.  Pumps were being installed in the manholes.  There is no electrical hookup yet, although electric lines have been run to the site.  The under-drainage system appears to be functioning ok.  The pad for leachate loading and the leachate tank have been installed.  The sand layer is being put in place.  The sand is coming from Fertile, Iowa.  I’d say about 2/3 of the sand has been installed.  Terry with Earth Tech was on site for quality control.  All in all new cell construction looks good.
