We've addressed them. We've <br />talked openly with those people. We've tried to <br />share with them all the information that wee have. <br />We've discussed it with MLRD staff. We think we have <br />addressed all of those 100 percent. <br />We are confident in our design and our <br />plan as Steve described it there, and we kr.~ow that <br />it's going to be a safe operation. <br />It's about a seven- to ten-year <br />project. The heap leach and those waste dump <br />facilities are not expanded out. That's the worst <br />case scenario there. That's 560 acres of disturbed <br />land. It only grows as time goes. <br />The heap leach area is expanded each <br />and every year as opposed to us going in there and <br />creating this large area from moisture up front, but <br />we've designed for the hundred-year/24-hour event for <br />the worst case. <br />~ But actually the pad area only <br />reaches its largest area of precipitation catchment <br />during the last six and seven and eight years. <br />
