<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We recently received notification that the community in Kuujjuarapik, QC Canada will be performing a residential expansion in the location of our GNSS monument and station KUUJ (40154M001). Construction will be starting in the next few
weeks. We expect KUUJ to be fully decommissioned by ~June 15th.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are planning on creating a new GNSS monument and station ~1.2km NNE of KUUJ on the same rock formation. This new station will be called KUJ2 (40154M002). It will be an aluminum pillar anchored to exposed bedrock.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We apologize for the abrupt notification but this has come as a surprise to us. We hope the new KUJ2 station will be adopted by the IGS.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">More details regarding the decommissioning of KUUJ and the new KUJ2 station will follow.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
