Mr. Moffitt, Yes Mr. LaPoint, Yes Mr. Haggarty, Yes Mr. Theobald, Yes Mr. Brennan, Yes Mr. Firmstone, Yes Solicitor s Report 1. 1. Dutchland We have received a response from Dutchland regarding tank preparation work. Dutchland seeks compensation as a subcontractor to the Coating Contractor selected by Central Wayne Regional Authority.
