On the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project I have
a few more recent figures than those which were
presented in our statement. As of June 30,
1966, the prime contractor for Ruedi Dam had
completed approximately 36 percent of the con-
tract with 54 percent of the contract time

Excavation for the county road relocation
and spillway excavations were continued.
Stripping operations in borrow areas were
initiated. Specifications were issued June
13, 1966, for clearing at Ruedi Reservoir.

On June 30, 1966, the prime contractor for
the construction of the Divide, South Fork, and
Chapman Tunnels, Diversion Dams, and Appurte-

System had accomplished approximately 21 per-

the contract time elapsed. On June 13, 1966,
excavation of the tunnels had progressed as
follows: Divide, 4,344 feet; South Fork,
4,136 feet; Chapman, 6,641 feet. Average
daily advancement for the tunnels during the
month of May was as follows: Divide, II linear
feet per day; South Fork, 20 linear feet per
day; and Chapman, 33 linear feet per day. I

the heading is decreasing and improvements are
being made in the mucking operations. Work
continued on County Road 104 and the Divide
Tunnel access road.
