159 <br />1 remediation would have to take place there? I'm <br />2 just trying to get my arms around that. Have you <br />3 heard any estimates on the cost to dewater the mine <br />4 pool? <br />5 MR. BIRD: We've heard the operator <br />6 say that it would be 5 million a year. We've heard <br />7 them say millions per year, and that's just pumping <br />8 and treating. There would be -- we recognize <br />9 there's refurbishing of the mine, making it <br />10 accessible, and installation of ventilation, that's <br />11 another cost. <br />12 MS. KRAEGER-ROVEY: Okay. Is that <br />13 all the questions? Yes. <br />14 MS. ALLISON: Just a quick one. Is <br />15 hydraulic conductivity to a layman the same as <br />16 permeability? <br />17 MR. BIRD: Well, closely related. <br />18 Closely related, yeah. <br />19 MS. KRAEGER-ROVEY: Hydraulic <br />__..20 concduc-tivity has__to. do with the .pe..3?n_e_ab li.t_y <br />21 specific to water. Permeability is intrinsic to the <br />22 rock. Hydraulic conductivity takes into account the <br />23 viscosity and density of the water. <br />24 MS. ALLISON: Okay. <br />25 MS. KRAEGER-ROVEY: Other questions?
