The professional staff and associates currently umber approximately 30 people with over 150-man years of arctic nd subarctic experience. Three Nortec has six people presently assigned to the Project. re conducting field hydrographic surveys and three are preparing ata analysis and input for river crossing design support. Responsibilities on the project include surface water runoff nalyses and groundwater analyses in support of the buried, chilled as pipeline design. To date a two volume document entitled "River nd Floodplain Design Considerations and Processes" has been preared. This document details the work planned in support of the iver crossing design effort. In addition, weather and runoff records have been updated and the results incorporated into the nalysis of nine selected streams between Delta Junction and the laskan/Canadian Border. The Basic Stream Analysis report for these line streams is nearing completion. EXHIBIT D |
