Dear Mr. Leighto~:

The contractor•s progress has been hampered due to the inclement weather and the Memorial Day holiday. His primary operation still involves obtaining clay material from the Mutrie pit in New Hampshire. About 50% of the site has been covered with at least two layers of clay to an overall thickness between 6 and 8 inches. About 4500 cubic yardsof clay has been delivered to the site or about 33% of the total contract quantity. The clay cap and roadway work will probably not be completeduntil sometime in July.

During the compaction operation the contractor inadvertently damagedfour fence posts and the attached screen. As a result, entry onto the site is more readily available then before. We recommend that the contractor should repair this situation as soon as possible.

The State of Massachusetts requested the return of their trailer,
