Thanks Mark. I'll let the site know that a small amount of lithium
chloride can be used for balancing the flows from the ash basin.

Robert,
This sounds good Robert. I recommend you go ahead and proceed but
maintain exhaustive records. On the pilot study issue, I had a
chance to
talk with Dave today about it. He and I agree that really don't
have a
mechanism for approving such a thing in the short-term and doing it
via
telephone tag isn't the best way to approach it. We probably need
something from you guys in writing with maps attached. However, he
did
indicate that in principle he didn't like the idea of basically just
diluting the sluice water with the CCW stream. So, it sounds to me
like
the best approach right now is to send us something (or bring it up

here) with a proposal and we'll try to sort it out. Unfortunately
I've
got lots of fires burning at the moment, so time is a premium.
Thanks,
Mark

Mark,
As we discussed, at Plant Allen we need to conduct some flow
balance
measurements of the water treated with Ferric Sulfate with the
other water
>from the ash basin. An approach that will be quick and useful is
to add
very small amounts of lithium chloride for a short duration. The
tests
should only occur for minutes at a time and only a few grams of
lithium
chloride will be used.
Please advise if this is okay.
Thanks,
Robert
