Activities remain on schedule to meet GPGA's start-up and coal delivery dates as well as the completion of the pipeline. Engineering is essentially on schedule and complete for the Plant. Most of the key engineering goals needed to support the construction phase were completed during the first quarter. A substantial amount of construction progress has been accomplished. Although overall construction is behind schedule, it is currently forecasted that construction will be back on schedule by the end of October, 1983. Start-Up Planning is progressing at a rapid pace. The current emphasis is on consolidating construction planning and completion in accordance with detailed start-up scheduling requirements. Work is also being directed to the development and finalization of plant operating manuals and a materials management system. Mine development activities remain on schedule. Most of the environmental permitting for the construction phase of the project has been completed. Engineering for the pipeline is complete. Construction should commence in early May and should be completed one month prior to the earliest need date.
