- Fixed pipe frame
- Fixed launders
- Working on making the walls of the inlet chimneys the same thickness as the inlet channel walls. This will allow for much easier construction.
- Worked on our teach in
- Developed a new protocol for testing and committing files to the source forge, as well as a new protocol for committing new files to the Design Tool
- Worked on developing a protocol for users to submit any bugs they find with the Design Tool
- Moved the floc tank edits to the most recent design file so that they took effect
Issues
- Need to better develop bug report on source forge
- Need to clean up the source forge

Floc Hopper Group
Accomplishments
- A summary of major work completed since last meeting based on last meeting's identified outcomes/issues
Issues
- Difficult and unresolved issues
- Plans for action
- Determined the most effective parameters for the floc hopper (such as height, width, length) that should allow the floc hopper to fit various geometries of different plants.
- Revised the MathCad code defining the parameters of the floc hopper.
- Developed a first draft of the MtoA code for the floc hopper.
- Added the wedge command to the MtoA translators
Issues
- Need to add a few variables to the Variable Naming Guide.
- Must determine the best placement of the floc hopper in various plants.
- Will test our code with various plant sizes until we determine the best placement for the floc hopper.
Goals for upcoming week
- Finish the MtoA code for the floc hopper, so that the floc hopper can be drawn in with the rest of the plant.
- Document the floc hopper on the wiki, which may include creating a new "floc hopper design program" on the Automated Design Algorithms page.

Materials List Group
Accomplishments
- Completed volume and materials calculations for exit channel, inlet channel and , sludge drain. Began working on flocculator and entrance tank calculations and dimensions. Also calculated volume of sedimentation tank manifold entrance.
Issues
- , floc tank and baffles
- Also worked on calculations and dimensions for entrance tank and sedimentation tank (tank, inlet slopes, lamella)
- Began work on piping components
- Met with Monroe to learn about more intricate components of the plant
Issues
- Need to determine best way to count up lengths of different size pipes needed
- Determine the best dimensions to give for different materials (volume vs. surface area, etc.)
- Difficult and unresolved issues
- Plans for action
Goals for upcoming week
- Complete piping calculations
- Compile all calculations to determine total materials
- Update Variable Naming Guide
Exit Channel Group
Accomplishments
...
- Finish documentation
- Begin work on another Design Team Goal

Floc Tank Group
Accomplishments
- A summary of major work completed since last meeting based on last meeting's identified outcomes/issues
Issues
- Difficult and unresolved issues
- Plans for action
- Began working on the exit port for the flocculator.
Issues
- This port must also be coordinated with the baffle spacing and location, and is connected to the sed tanks.
Goals for upcoming week
- Understanding how the floc tank and sed tank codes describe this port that they share; writing the design and MtoA code to draw in this port.
