40 <br />1 approximately where Ralston Reservoir is relative to <br />2 the mine site right now, and that provides a level <br />3 of certainty that doesn't exist -- that wouldn't <br />4 exist otherwise if we didn't have the cone of <br />5 depression down at that level. But you're right. <br />6 There would be a gradient established at less than <br />7 500. <br />8 MS. KRAEGER-ROVEY: But it would just <br />9 be local. So what 500 does is try and reverse the <br />10 gradient all the way to the reservoir. <br />11 MR. BIRD: Well, I don't know if that <br />12 was our intent. It was just providing certainty <br />13 that there would not be -- it would minimize the <br />14 migration of water from the mine pool area to the <br />15 Reservoir, and that would certainly assure a very <br />16 steep gradient that would reverse whatever was going <br />17 toward the creek-back the other direction. <br />18 MS. GREEN: I remember my other <br />19 question. Before the staff report ends, could you <br />20 just -- there's a lot of background and paper here <br />21 that we've been plowing through. Would you mind <br />22 summarizing the key issues in dispute, because <br />23 there's things that aren't in disagreement, and <br />24 there are things where you do have a disagreement. <br />25 But could you just summarize from
