APPENDIX III-1-B: RECOMMENDATIONS AND STATUS OF DEVEL-
OPMENT WORK AND EQUIPMENT MODIFICATIONS FOR EAGLE
RIVER FLATS REMEDIATION PROJECT
Continual refinement of the equipment and procedures at Eagle River Flats is
one of the dividends of having so many talented people involved. Over the last
couple of years, the major impediments to efficient and reliable operation of the
pump systems have been addressed and resolved. We are at the point where low-
cost refinements to the equipment and optimization of the operational logistics
will improve the overall system the greatest. Following the completion of the 2000
season operations, a meeting was held at CRREL to discuss possible improvements
for the upcoming year. The following table describes these proposals and their
current status.
