Reconstruction of Skimmer Wall Complete
The final pours of three caisson caps for the Skimmer Wall are complete which finishes the reconstruction of the original Skimmer Wall that was destroyed by the ash spill.

Contractors Demobilize
The work of two contractors at the recovery project is finished and both are in the process of demobilizing.  MACTEC, the contractor responsible for ash loading, has a target date of December 17 to complete demoblization.    Aquarius Marine, LLC, the contractor hired by TVA to reconstruct the Skimmer Wall is scheduled to be demobilized by the end of December.

Utility Installation
Work to install utilities along Swan Pond Circle Bridge continues requiring one lane of the bridge to be closed intermittently.   We appreciate the patience of drivers who cross the bridge and hope to have the work complete within the next couple of weeks.

If you have any questions, please call Katie Kline or me on my cell phone at 806-7688.

Units Return to Service

As we told the CAG in the update we provided on November 30, and at the meeting Thursday night, Kingston Fossil Plant units 1-5 will begin an outage for maintenance tomorrow,  December 8 that will continue until December 18, 2010.  Due to decreased power demand, the units have been in “NID”, Not in Demand, status over the last few weeks.   KIF returned units to service this past weekend due to cold weather.

If you have any questions, please give Katie Kline or me at call at 806-7688.
