and I will get a chance to read it after this meeting, I hope that they have considered this, cause its of major, major importance. And its going to take on a greater importance in the future in where we handle native burials and the archaeology, because we dont want to destroy the value of area. Part of the value of the area is that theres something really intact, theres something really good. And I dont think that the people that have been moving here really have a concept of what theyre living into or what they see. People who have been living here their whole lives, they have a long history, clearly have an idea of whats there and have a great deal of respect for it. But I think people moving in need to raise their conscientiousness so we know what they have before we lose it. And I just do appreciate your time. Has there been a TIAR done on this at all? And Sidney can answer that later, I dont need answers from you right away. YUEN:No.Buttheresanestimatethereofaboutfivetrucksadaythat use the site. JACOBSON:So its not substantial. And if theres current archaeological work on the area, thatd be good, too. I think thats about all I have for now. I have to put something in writing, but I appreciate your time. Thank you all. SPRINGER:Thank you. Commissioners, are there any questions for Mr. Jacobson? Mr. Smith? SMITH:Yes, I have a question. In your statement you said the concrete plant, sorry, cement plant or aggregates. Is that correct, using what is out there -? JACOBSON:It says cement plants and rock-crushing. Things that handle these types of rock tend to generate asbestos-like particles. So asbestos can come, its not asbestos per se but just tiny little particles are like asbestos. It can come from rock- crushing and handling in the cement preparation. SMITH:I dont understand your statement. That study that you said, is it a cement plant or concrete batching plant, crushing? I think concrete batching and a cement plant, I think, is two different animals. Thats why Im trying to understand -. JACOBSON:Well, a lot of these things are happening in all the same locations, thats why some of the studies show that -. SMITH:I dont think so. Concrete, cement is made in a different way. I dont think they make cement there. JACOBSON:Well, see, rock-crushing does produce this, same things as does cement batching and cement mixing plants. All those things will produce these fibers. SMITH:Perhaps if we have a hard copy of the study -. 13
