U.S. District Court for the NMI designated Judge David O. Carter has approved the U.S. government\u2019s request for a project with a budget of $600,000 to purchase, ship, and install two horizontal cylindrical tanks for the Commonwealth Utilities Corp.\u2019s Power Plant 4 in Puerto Rico, on Saipan. <\/p>\n
This project will replace the current corroded horizontal cylindrical tanks with new shop-fabricated tanks of 20,000-gallon capacity each.<\/p>\n
Carter said the two newly installed horizontal cylindrical tanks are expected to be fully functional at the completion of the CUC project.<\/p>\n
The project will be funded by Court Registry Account.<\/p>\n
U.S. Department of Justice Environmental Enforcement Section senior trial attorney Bradley R. O\u2019Brien informed the court last Friday that work on the project will be done by the court-appointed Engineering and Environmental Management Company.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Brien said the U.S. government, CUC, and the CNMI government proposed that the project will be funded through the Court Registry Account.<\/p>\n
He said Power Plant 4 bulk fuel storage for diesel oil used in power generation is facilitated by four aboveground storage tanks set within a common secondary containment (tank farm) upslope from Power Plant 4.<\/p>\n
Within the tank farm, he said, there are two vertical cylindrical tanks and two horizontal cylindrical tanks. <\/p>\n
O\u2019Brien said Carter inspected these tanks during the January 2019 status conference. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
