That is our primary objective and it has been since this incident occurred.

That creates a 28-month process for what the federal government said should be a 24-month process.

The Black River is normally exceptionally clear; it's great for swimming and floating. Now, beyond the east fork, below the lower reservoir, it is very muddy. It has what we call a lot of turbidity. This is a concern not only for swimmers, but also for a lot of aquatic species.

The winds have died down substantially and that's going to be a big advantage for us in getting control. With the weather changing, we should start to see the containment numbers go up.

I think it's logical. Most of the federally-regulated dams tend to be fairly large dams that pose significant risk if there is a failure.
