EPA Milltown Update: Silt Fences Up, Flood Berms Next
-from http://www.cfrtac.org/?p=122

The EPA’s weekly Milltown update (Feb. 13) finds things on track on with the cleanup. Highlights from the last week include:

• Installation of the silt fencing along the Clark Fork River was completed last week. Silt fencing will help keep soils from eroding into the river from storm water run-off.
• Clark Fork River flood berm construction began last week. Upon its completion, construction of the flood berm on the Blackfoot River will begin. All flood berms will be finished by April 2007—before high flow.
• Work will continue on construction of on-site haul road at the base of I-90.
• Soils gradation work will also continue. This work is needed to ensure that riprap and soils used on site are appropriate for construction of the by-pass channel berms, haul roads, flood berms, etc.
