160628 - planned at the meeting last week.  He noted that production figures
160629 - indicate a larger bucket could help the project make up lost time.
160630 -
160631 - Bob Johnston advised that Dutra will notify the Corps on the schedule
160632 - for making the change to a larger bucket.  He indicated some issues
