                       -Laboratory areas were ransacked and laboratory
                       chemicals (acids and other chemicals) were spilled
                       and dumped in the lab areas. The loss of the labs
                       will hinder testimg which must be done to operate
                       the plants effectively.
                       c. Loss of equipment and supplies related to O&M
                       of the sewage. treatment plants and collection
                       system was extensive. Examples aria the theft and
                       -damage   to   vehicles,    spare    parts,     piping,
                       mechanicallelectrical equipment, and various tools.
                       Although, these occurrences will cause delays, they
                       will not prevent the plants' start-up.

                       'd.   There was significant loss of records in
                       administrative and laboratory areas.        These are
                       valuable in measuring and reporting current plant
                       performance.


                       S. Progress to date in sewage collection and treatment
                 system recovery efforts is dif f icult to measure as there is no
                 known accurate and detailed assessment of damage after
                 liberation. A summary of the current status follows:
                       The Ardiya plant is operating now. The Rictaa. and @abra
                 STP's are ready to operate now, with only minimal assessment
                 and Preventive maintenance of mechanical and electrical
                 components.     Inspection of the mechanical and electrical
                 operation and control systpmn for all plants to assure they
                 are without obvious defects or damage will provide adequate
                 basis for starting the plants. Restoration of power and EOD
                 clearing of Jahra STP is critical; efforts at cleaning up the'
ahra plant and preparing for operation began Monday, 1 Jund,
                 but have been delayed because of the.aforementioned problems.
                       OMI has installed numerous temporary pumps, repaired some
                 pump stations, cleared numerous lines and manholes, and is
                 continuing with damage assessment, repair, and procurement of
                 necessary replacement and repair parts.               OMI claims
                 significant improvement in the last 10 days in terms of their
                 staffing and work efforts directed at restoration. Figure 3
                 is a recommended format for measuring progress at all critical
                 sewage collection and treatment system components. ' As of I
                 June,, there are 6 out of 17 main pump stations operational, 27
                 out of 30 minor pump -stations operational, and 19 out of 27
                 screw lift stations operational.

                       6. In regard to the odor resulting form H2S (hydrogen
                 sulfide gas - the rotten egg smell):           The water supply
                 contains about 500 pounds of sulphate (SO4) per million
