At Smallwood, auxiliary spillway construction and site preparation advanced. Most of the submittals for the auxiliary spillway materials and methods got approved for both sites. The construction of these spillways is a critical path for both projects and the trajectory for the summer construction looks bright. 

​Fun fact: 198 people have gone through Fisher Contracting's safety orientation.
