Construction of the new Pallid Sturgeon Building continues to make progress.  A start to work order was given to Brill Construction to begin the plumbing portion of the Pallid Building Project.  The electrical portion is still under negogiation. 

The rearing tanks for the building are being constructed in Greenville, Alabama, and two tanks were brought in recently for inspection.  The tanks passed the inspection and the remainder of the tanks will be shipped after the plumbing is completed. 

Brill Construction will take the plumbing to the building and hatchery staff will install plumbing to the rearing tanks.  The Pallid Sturgeon Building Project is scheduled for completion by the end of January 2007.
