Drainage Progress Update
The crews resumed work on 1/3. They are expected to complete WP # 7 this week (weather permitting). That will leave a handful of sites in WP #10 and the Section 10 sites to wrap things up. We have not received a permit from the USACE for the Section 10 work. Therefore, that work may not happen before LGS wraps up the rest of the project.
