<br />permit, under Technical Revision No. 61
<br />(TR -61) on November 21, 2011. Sampling
<br />of the soils was conducted on November
<br />22, and December 12 - 14, 2011. Certain
<br />modifications to the approved SAP were
<br />made in the field; the application for
<br />Technical Revision No. 62 (TR -62) has
<br />been submitted to provide formal docu-
<br />mentation of the changes that were made.
