NEW PART-TIMER

• I have hired Xavier D’Ambrosio, from Wentworth Institute of Technology. Xavier started reading the BGwT network on Tuesday May 12, 2009 reading.

CONTOURS

• We now have the ability to generate contours for all areas of our well network. Elliott and I have reviewed them with our technical committee and some minor adjustments need to be made.
• We will continue to receive the contours from BWSC and will be sending them our contours for cross-checking.

ISD RESEARCH

• We continue to look for building permits and any underpinned buildings
• I have completed all of Back Bay and am working with Elliott on the best way post the data on the site.
