Mr. O'Dell's Engineer from Black and Veatch was also present to answer any questions. Mr. O'Dell said that from the information he got from FEMA that the City of Riverside would have to approve the business and get proof from Holiday Sand and Gravel that they would build and work in accordance with what FEMA required.

He said that he probably would have about ten barges a day at the beginning of the business.
