Verbal Progress Report From Vernal Project
Project manager C. KF. Amick said the Vernal project is making very good progress. Excavation by Knudsen aims to reach a solid dam foundation upstream, with spoil used for filling. A four by six foot plow aerates soil to speed drying as mud delays continue. Excavation should finish in about 60 days, then backfilling. Dynamiting will open the spillway area. A highway realignment near the reservoir by Vernal Sand and Gravel and L. C. Breyenson of Roosevelt has a short south-end section oiled and ready for July traffic.
