This quarterly report covers the activities for the first three months of the Phase II Program. The major activities at Logan Wash and on Phase II during the months of June, July, and August were: driving the access and ventilation drifts towards the underground locations for Retorts 7 and 8; beginning construction for surface facilities; mining the rooms for the mini retorts; and developing an instrumentation program for DOE funding.
