Hi Mike! Are you making any progress on the compressors? I was wondering if you were getting close to getting the first teams of divers in the waters. Will the sign-up calendar be posted in this thread or elsewhere on the site?

Thanks! Julia

Our low pressure compressor for powering the lifts threw a rod during our testing on Saturday. I have a HP system loaded on my truck now. A new or repaired LP system shoul dbe on site by Saturday.

Any updates on scheduling?

Hello All,

Everything is in place for the project except a permit from Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Since we are removing a lot of overburden we were concerned this may be looked at as a dredging operation. It is not but we are on the border with the definitions - so we met with DEP and decided to go through permiting to prevent potential issues down the road. It was just the right way to proceed.

We do not anticipate this restoration permit process to be extremely long and we are involving DEP out of the box in our development which should further expedite the process. We will keep you all posted and hopefully get you wet soon.

Safe Diving,
Mike A
