Dear Larry:
We are currently completing the improved modeling to include the effect of flow regimes, which I am sure that you recall that in our meeting the last time, we agreed that this will be a major influence on both the quantity of solvent and time required to clean it up. It is probably the most important modification to the model. It has been a major efforts. We hope to complete this part by June 20th. Then we will perform the rigorous model testing. With the continuous testing we have done on every module independently, I do not expect us to run into any major difficulty, hence I expect that to be done in one week to 10 days. We will then begin to conduct parametric runs for the TW system. We will analyze the results and come up with a summary of what it means and how that will affect economics, etc. So, with all these, I will be able to prepare a comprehensive progress report by July 15th. I hope that this schedule meets your approval. The flow regime & time-of-contact work is something that we did not anticipate originally but which came up in the course of the review that you, John and Tiny had with us at Penn State. I believe that it is really important as some of the initial results are showing. So, I am grateful for your input. It has taken a little more time (perhaps more than little) to do it but we are very very close to completing this part. I believe that it would be worth the effort. I have been told by the Office of Research that our current contract expires at the end of the month unless you sign the "no-cost" extension. This document should have reached your desk according to them. I am not sure that you'd recall; we have been able to conserve funds on the project because I have 2 of the students (they are from Venezuela) working on the project being sponsored by their own Govt. and hence we have not paid them from the project. I would appreciate your prompt approval of the no-cost extension of the contract so that the University would not stop us from continuing. When I submit my comprehensive progress report in mid-July, I suggest that we meet thereafter to discuss the results and direction and at that point, it would be necessary to discuss the finance as well. I appreciate the support that I have received from all of you. I look forward to hearing from you.

When will your progress report be ready for review? It might be a good idea to let us review your report and then we can make comments and recommendations based upon your findings. Im glad that things are going well with your data and that we may be able to apply something positive towards our situation. Thanks for getting back with me.

I have just got back from an overseas trip yesterday. I am in the process of preparing a progress report for you. We have obtained some additional interesting results. I was also waiting for input from your group. You may recall that at the end of our Houston meeting, John told me that he would be getting back to me on some specific directions from the group. I believe that we would be done with the major aspects of PCB work soon, then we would be focusing on arsenic. Please let me know of any thoughts and ideas. Thanks Larry. We are finally seeing the Spring here and maybe a short one for that matter. Summer is just around the corner.

I would appreciate a summary from you identifying recent discoveries and a general update on the project. Have you thawed out from the Pennsylvania winter?
