Review Board. As stated previously, we plan to utilize
internationally renowned consul tants to lend direction and
review to our efforts. The utilization of these individuals
does not add appreciably to the project cost but will add
immeasurable credence to the results. The two consultants we

propose to use, Mr. Leps and Mr. Cedergren, are presently

collaborating on projects and have worked together in the past.

general review to the project. Mr. Leps has 41 years of

Wide-ranging experience in soil mechanics, foundations and

dam design. Mr. Leps has published over 25 technical papers

and contributed to one texthook on the subject of earth dam

design. Most recently, Mr. Leps was a member of the Teton

Dam Independent Review Panel. Hr. Leps has been contacted

and has agreed to participate on this project with Dames & Hoore.
