200402 -
200403 - Followed up work at ref SDS 14 line 212.
200404 -
200405 - We reviewed the different versions of the Luster organization in
200406 - relation to COE and the Richmond organization charts, ref SDS 14 line
200407 - 258. We considered the prospects of using version 1 for discussions
200408 - with Luster, and using 2 for discussions with DE on developing CBD
200409 - procurement for Communication Metrics.

200413 - Communication Metrics Initially Provided Under Richmond AE
200414 -
200415 - When I later reviewed this chart with Max, he asked where the Welch
200416 - work is covered in Luster's organization chart.  I showed him the
200417 - nodes for Communication Manager, Communicaton Agent under CSB, and the
200418 - Communication Administrator under the Project Engineer on Richmond.

200422 - Environmental Reporting Increased for Ocean Disposal
200423 -
200424 - Max advised that the local EPA manager for the area covered by the
200425 - Oakland and Richmond projects has expressed an intent to add new
200426 - reporting requirements for discharge operations into the ocean.
200427 -
200428 - There is a concern that sea swells cause barges to loose portions of
200429 - the load during transport to the disposal site.
200430 -
200431 - Max said the EPA manager intends to issue fines.
200432 -
200433 - There seems to be recognition that some loss of material cannot be
200434 - avoided.  The concern is to set a reasonable limit and so they want a
200435 - new report for each barge load taken to sea.  Max explained a new form
200436 - being developed for this added reporting.  Seems like it could be part
200437 - of the existng QC report.
200438 -
200439 - I showed Max the Envorionmental Protection position in the Richmond
200440 - project organization chart.
200441 -
200442 - Max liked the connections from the node for Luster's Inspectors to the
200443 - Contractor's Dredging and Disposal operations, developed at ref SDS 14
200444 - line 187.  We discussed the information path from the Contractor's
200445 - Quality Control postion to the COE Inspector's position, reflects COE
200446 - processing of both QC reports and the AE's Quality Assurance reports
200447 - into a body of information for review, approval and release to the
