9 <br /> - Additional time has been budgeted to allow for more on-site time <br /> by the project managers and project engineers due to the high <br /> visibility and scrutiny this project receives. <br /> - Three additional boreholes were added to the OC-2 <br /> investigations to help define the location of the <br /> groundwater divide between Cane Creek Reservoir <br /> and the potential active landfill area. <br /> - Estimated costs for grouting all boreholes in accordance with NC <br /> well abandonment regulations have been included in this estimate. <br /> - Procuring bulk samples of subsurface materials for <br /> laboratory analyses with drill rigs is significantly <br /> more expensive than procuring suitable samples with <br /> backhoes as originally proposed. <br /> Schedule <br /> Once we have received authorization, we will commence initiating the project immediately. <br /> The first step will include obtaining permits and notifying the land owners for permission to access <br /> their lands. This step may require between four and six weeks to complete in order to allow <br /> sufficient time for the land owners to respond. Once access is granted, the site reconnaissance and <br /> drilling operations can be begun. The field work will require between 6 and 10 weeks to complete. <br /> While the field work is underway, the soil laboratory work will be begun. This will require an <br /> additional two to four weeks after the completion of the field work. And finally, once all field and <br /> laboratory work are completed, the report will be developed. This will require another two to four <br /> weeks. The entire project from authorization to proceed to delivery of the final report will require <br /> between four to five months. This assumes no significant delays due to access to the sites or <br /> security issues. <br /> 5 ■41111Mt/sa <br /> INOMEMEMEMEINE <br /> 0 Printed on recycled paper <br />
