PACHECO: So, therefore, I'll <br />leave that, but historically they did drop cyanide <br />into our Rito Seco, causing damage to the native <br />cutthroats in our -- so the potential and the risk <br />is there. <br />And I do not like the existing <br />condition that they left. Battle Mountain assured us <br />that they would reclaim all that and bring it back to <br />its natural state. Good. <br />
