6.2.1 Completed Projects

Some inadequacies in the Northwest Zone that were identified in the 2007 Biennial Report were alleviated through the construction and completion of specific projects over the last two years. Information about each of the completed projects is summarized briefly in the table below, and those matters will be removed from the list of inadequacies that are discussed in the 2009 Report. More information about these projects and inadequacies can be found in the 2007 Report. Also, additional information is available by contacting the designated person for the utility that was responsible for constructing the project.
