h. Backlog of Classified Trash: The Classified Disposal
Unit has a ac log o about pounds of "burn only"
classified trash. This figure includes the 7S bags that were
shipped from the National Photographic Interpretation Center
this week. Due to its size, the incinerator can burn only
about 250 to 275 pounds per hour.
i. Street Lighting. The contractor was contacted on
24 August 1 and asked to schedule the bushing repair work on
the Circuit #4 transformer within two weeks. The work on the
transformer will not interfere with construction by George
Hyman Construction Company.
j. Headquarters Compound Domestic Water Test: A test of
the domestic water system on the Headquarters Compound was
completed as scheduled on 22 August 1984 by representatives
from Smith, Hinchmann, and Grylls Associates, Inc. (SH$G),
Safety Staff, and EF,CB. The majority of the system was tested
as scheduled. However, an inaccessible valve precluded testing
of those sections running behind the cafeteria and around the
north end of the Headquarters Building. The test of these
sections will be completed by Safety Staff and E&CB upon
completion of corrective action on the valve by General
Services Administration (GSA).
SHjG indicated that preliminary test results
confirmed their earlier conclusions that the site domestic
water lines are restricted. Upon receipt of the final SH$G
report and conclusions, any corrective actions required will be
taken.
No site domestic water problems resulting from the
test were reported.

27 August 1984. Representatives from E$CB, Security, and OC
were present. Under the current 120 calendar day construction
time from this area work is scheduled to be completed circa
12 December 1984. Once work in the area has been completed,
the new world map installation in this same area can begin.
The contractor is scheduled to begin demolition work on
Tuesday, 5 September 1984.
1. Northside Utilit Lines: GSA indicated that the
contractor responded to GSA's "slow cause" for terminaton of
the contract letter by claiming that the leakage problems being
experienced with the new underground chilled water lines were
not his fault and that further corrective actions would be
completed "under protest." However, according to GSA, the
contractor has begun excavation of the remaining underground
chilled water line joints to test for leads on an expedited
basis and, at this point, plans to uncover all remaining joints
if necessary. Additional leaks had been discovered the week of
20 August 1984.
m. Minor Work Orders: Cobb and del Castillo, Ltd., was
selected to survey 120 offices and design electrical
modifications for the Headquarters Building. The A-E support
was necessary to reduce the backlog of small work orders that
had reached 120 requests. Survey effort by Cobb and del
Castillo has been hampered by the unavailability of escort
services when needed.
An additonal 114 work order requests reached this
office after the A-E was tasked with the original 120.
n. Message Handling Facilities: Contract documents to
install a new electrical feeder in support of the Message

is scheduled to be completed by 28 September 1984.
p. A-E for Design Support: The contract with Dicon has
been awarded and three engineers are on board to initiate work
toward the development of the facilities design specifications.
q. Replacement of VEPCO #4 Transformer: Work continues
to progress satisfactorily on the relacement of VEPCO #4 trans-
former, rated 84 MVA-230/34.5 kV. As per schedule, the failed
unit has been removed from the substation, and the replacement
/ transformer of the same rating is on the foundation and in the
process of assembly. As of this date, under favorable weather
conditions, most of the major components have been installed,
and barring catastrophic weather interference, the planned
service date of 7 September should be met.
r. Relocation of #1 Transformer: The work of moving and
reconnecting the #1 transformer, rate 3,750 kVA-13.s/4.16 kV
continues to go well. The transformer is on its new
\, foundation, and the present activity includes demolition of the
old foundation and tying new cable ducts into the remains of
the old ducts in preparation for recabling. Meeting the
13 September 1984 completion date is somewhat in doubt, but is
not impossible.
