It is partly a legal question,11 partly a practical question.12 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Let's leave legalese at13 the moment.14 THE PUBLIC: Thank you.15 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Thank you very much.16 I'm sorry, Mr. Walsh, you had a follow-up17 question? I'm sorry, Mr. Afran, you had a follow-up18 question.19 Mr. Walsh, I believe a witness, Dr. Pannullo I20 Q. believe, asked a question that led you to say that there21 was a later set of figures submitted by the applicant to22 DEP that when you wrote the letter November 15 you had23 not yet seen that. Do you recall that question and24 answer?25 110 Yes, I remember that.1 A. Now, could you clarify to what extent, though2 Q. your November 15 letter did not address that additional3 information, that your testimony tonight has?4 My testimony tonight includes that additional5 A. soil testing. I have updated my findings after I was6 able to review that. What I'm saying now is in7 conclusion with that report.8 Fair to say the November 15 letter did not9 Q. address that because you had not seen it but your10 testimony does?11 Yes.12 A. Thank you.13 Q.
