The project is on schedule for tank farm start-up 7/1/68 and the flakerpackaging area 10/1/68. Field work will begin in January. Tank Farm; The layout of the tank farm and loading docks is firm. Details of the blend tanks and accessories are now under design, with most plant comments recon ciled. Pumps, tanks, filters, heaters, aluminum pipe and valves are on order.

The style of flake-breaker and need for an elevator must be resolved before firm layout and conveyor design can be made Our target for firm layout of this area is 2/1/68 including plant agreement. Coordination With Warehouse CEA 1452: The layout, accounting, fire protection details of coordination between CEA 1452 and CEA 1430 have been agreed to. Coordination between and joint exe cution of these two projects is estimated to save $40,000; we are determined to save it.
