In <br />particular, there were a few questions we had which we didn't get <br />to ask. I assume these will be asked at the next Board meeting. <br />I thought I would set down on paper for you a few of the <br />questions I had so that you might be able to think about them <br />before the next meeting. <br />1. Could we have at least an outline of the emergency <br />response plan? Can we in fact have the plan itself by the time <br />of the next Board meeting? <br />fL~ <br />W,y~~ ,~~r~: What is the material that is going to be used as the <br />I, ~~~ ~oerm on the large disposal area near the heap? <br />'(~ ry <br />3.
