L^O^project schedule expenditure forecast. Listed below as Case I is the expenditure forecast for 1977 on a monthly basis based on the schedule transmitted to EPA. This forecast is based on engineering, purchasing, and construction continuing on all items in accordance with the EPA schedule^ assuming funds will be appropriated per the original plan. If approval is obtained to continue per this schedule but only use the Part 1 appropriated funds ($600 M), then funds would be expended by early- September. Case II is the expenditure forecast based on continuing engineering in accor dance with the original schedule, purchasing long delivery items only and delaying all construction until January, 1978. This is contrary to the schedule submitted to the EPA and would require subsequent approval by the EPA. Any construction delay beyond January would probably delay completion of the project past October, 1978 because of the large manpower build-up required which may not be available. Bas d on this revised schedule, the Part 1 appropriated funds ($600 M) would be expended in January, 1978. In both cases, appropriated funds must be approved at the time the Part 1 funds are expended to avoid "shut-down" of engineering, purchasing, and construction in mid-stream of the required items. At the time the $600 M is expended, work could be In progress on a large number of items but only a few would be complete in Case I and none complete in Case II. Because of the uncertainty of this project, we have presently delayed construc tion of all items and are only purchasing long delivery items. Engineering is continuing per the schedule. We need "direction" and approval by the latter part of May if there is to be a change in implementation of the program scope. Also attached is an updated cost projection of each item based on process scopes received to-date. /mbt Attmts. cc: Messrs.
