However, if there were any changes to the permitting it had to be redocumented and resubmitted for approval. Mr. Mizusawa stated it was his understanding the vendor was moving forward with installing galvanized steel hardware for the bolts and hangers as opposed to stainless steel, and nothing had been shown to the Board and no requests for approval from the vendor to change out those items.
