dewatering. Dewatering will occur through an ovenrlow pipe leading to an existing drainage swale

which re-enters the river. The secondary site consists of an existing concrete containment area

with a capacity of 1,600 cy. This site has an eisting drainage pipe into the river. Neither ofthe

containment sites involve the placement of fill into any waterway or wetland. The purpose of

the project is to restore adequate water flow to the cooling intake for the power plant.
