Early Implementation of the Conversion Plan • Foremost purpose was to preserve Homestake for DUSEL • Taking advantage of State funded laboratory: 2007 - 2012 • 300 L, 4850 L, and other levels, e.g. 2000 L, 3800 L • Ross and Yates Shafts refurbished, safe and operating cages • Basic operations including Safety, Utilities, & Services • Upgrades and enhancements as budget permits • International Call for Letters of Interest • Active Program Advisory Committee Homestake DUSEL
