Construction continues on the surface potable water pipelines to the office building <br />and to the warehouse level. An as-built of the surface pipeline water distribution system will be <br />provided upon completion of this portion of the project to verify that sufficient bond for <br />reclamation is in place. <br />A small slump developed late this spring in the southwest area of the materials storage bench cut <br />slope. To repair the area, MCC will grade the slump material so that any surface water will drain. <br />A notch will be cut through the slump area to aid in draining the material. A four-inch drain pipe <br />will be set at the bottom of the notch to direct any flows to ditch D2-6A at the base of the cut <br />slope. <br />Please contact me should you have questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~u~~ <br />Kathleen G.
