A: THIS WILL VARY AMONG TANKS. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT TANKS WILL NEED 4-12’ OF SEDIMENT

REMOVED FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TANKS. YOUR ESTIMATE OF 435 CU YDS MAY BE

APPROPRIATE, BUT POTENTIALLY HIGH OR LOW DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH SEDIMENT NEEDS

TO BE REMOVED. IT IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED AS THE

DEPTHS OF THE TANKS ARE UNKNOWN.
