2019 Project List is up!

The 2019 Project List is posted below.  This will be the list that is used to fill the R-8 modules as well as other out-of -region project work for the winter/spring of 2019.  As a reminder, the first R-8 modules are scheduled to begin driving down around the 15th of January.  If you would like to be available for the early modules you need to make sure you will be in pay status by Pay Period 1 and have your new Government Travel Card.  We will likely begin making calls to fill the first module shortly after the first of the year.  Call Sam Pfahler (406-546-6752) or the Ops phone with any questions.  Have a good Christmas and get ready to get back in the woods!
