Both HMRI and the Division look far•we,rcl <br />to the conclusion of all abatement program issues in tr.lru <br />very near future. As BMRI has an approved monitorinri <br />program in place, revising the decision date for 'PR-1~, t.c, <br />January 14, 1994 is acceptable. <br /> TR-16 was submitted at the request of the Irivisiotr a>: :, <br /> mechanism to incorporate an approved technical specif.i.c;rtiotr <br /> field change of the embankment construction material .int.o <br /> our permit (Division's November 2, 1992 letter); the: <br /> Div.i:rion received information about the constructi.oll <br /> material field change in October (October 1 inspection raid <br /> Interim Construction Report, October ]5).
