That's funny that is what I was thinking.

I did notice those could be heafty fines for not making the deadline.

I thought they had everything out in time. I guess the side scan sonar must have picked up a bunch more debris. Whatever happened to the days when they dragged a 6X6 suspended by 2 chains over the site to ensure you met the limits of removal? ;)

Looks like they have failed twice on the removal of the debris. We knew it was going to be tough.

I had to drive a moving van over that bridge before they opened the new one up. It was pretty sketchy. The bridge was definately on it's last legs.

It's all the more impressive because the debris is under water so the operators pretty much have to operate "blind".

Talk about a tight schedule for Testa on the removal of the debris.
