TORIGOE: Well, first of all, let me just say that we have review background report, and with the correction, or the removal, of C with those. And thank you very much to the staff for their usual Just very briefly, the amendment that we are seeking is really a it does is allow for the County and Waste Management to dispose site that is excess to operations. And this is rock that is gene operations; its not stuff that has been quarried for commercial that sense its not changing operations at all; all we are doing permission to remove this rock from on-site. And obviously we do because for one thing that would really, you know, not allow the recoup any of the costs involved. In fact, Waste Management cont Management to get a license and sell rock to defray costs. And, just give the rock away, then that would be problematic in terms coming up today. But certainly we are not looking at running anything like a high quarry; all it is is the excess rock. At this point in time the volumes. The only reason that this has come up at this point is operations, the excess rock has reached about 150,000 to 200,000 justify going into sales. But the actual volume after that is go yards per year that is excess, which really doesnt justify, you looking at really is perhaps having to further stockpile for thr again. So this is not the kind of situation where the County is, become a commercial rock crusher and quarry operation; its just that is generated by operations. And it is necessary to do that there is just not room to move the equipment around and do the w until now a lot of the rock was, and still is, used for on-site etc. But there is always going to be a certain amount of excess, off. Even now, if you go to the site, youll see very large berm actually kind of overbuilt those because, you know, of the exces potentially, could be a permit violation. So that kind of thing, So basically thats it. We just need to be able to move this roc going to be we believe a low volume, that is really a significan are out there. So with that, we have, as I said, the Waste Manag Division Chief, and well be happy to answer any questions. Than GIFFIN: Thank you, Mr. Torigoe. Questions of Ivan?
