Any one hear anything new on this project?

Here's a fresh article on this disaster.
Unfortunately, the pattern for these problems is that the people who know the technical details aren't talking. Just like the Gatlinburg, Tennessee wall failure, I'd sure like to look a the design drawings. They blamed that on a corrosion affect at the tie in walls, which I still don't completely believe.

Found this online after reading some of the initial news reports of the lawsuits. It appears that a post construction audit was done on the facility due to the magnitude of deficiencies noted during construction. I haven't read the audit so I am not sure if it contains any valuable information but thought that someone my like to look at it.

Has this issue ever come to a conclusion? Has the tank been reconstructed?

I'm sorry JC. Is there supposed to be a link to a story in your OP? I can't see the story you guys are talking about.
