Update for November 7, 2008
For the week of November 3rd through November 7th the Contractor’s focus was on the first level sequence of the excavation for Wall 10, drilling, minor blasting, and working on improvements to the waste site.
During the day for the week of November 10th through November 14th the Contractor will continue to work on installing culvert(s), excavation, drilling/grouting temporary shoring anchors at Wall #10, and continued drilling along with small blasting operations to generate rip rap.

For those of you planning on visiting the area to camp, hunt, fish, and/or just to enjoy the area, the Salmon River Road may have changed since your last visit, so please be cautious and patient when traveling through the construction area and abide by the signs placed for your safety, and everyone else’s safety also.
