L & D #3 Lower Embankment Project on hold

Quote:

---

Hoffman Construction Senior Management has reviewed all aspects of starting work on the Lower Embankment in winter conditions and has decided to suspend our work activities until next season. Environmental concerns, economic consideration, and worker safety are the governing factors of our discussion. As we discussed earlier this week HCC and EKS should plan on meeting after the first of the year to discuss schedule and operations for next season.

Please contact me with any questions, thank you.

Thanks for the update BK.

Was not the original plan to do the project during the winter months

I don’t like the thought of them starting work in the spring.

Jesse, the original plan for the lower embankment was to start in August.

I couldn’t find out why there was a delay…then the rains came which started a longer delay.

Once the water returned to a relatively normal level they did start work. Pilings have been put in on the WI side of the Y.

Now this email was sent out.

I’m going to see if my contact at Hoffman has anything to add to the above, but generally I don’t hear back from him for a few days.

Stuart, one of the questions I’ll be asking is WHEN they will be starting in the spring. Last year the work wasn’t to start until after the spawn.

I don’t know if this was for the fish or a matter logistics.
