How far did they possibly go down until they hit solid that they could, you know, put beams in and put a foundation for a building? THE WITNESS: Well, it wasn't an extensive set of borings done below the building. There were a few test pits, the poorer quality was more downhill from the building. All though -- yeah, it's on the downhill slope of the building, so it's not under the foundation. THE PUBLIC: Were you surprised about the quality of the cores? THE WITNESS: I mean, not when you review in accordance with the geologic mapping of the area, it makes sense and the topography. So obviously whenever you have an area that has exposed outcrops and rocks it's -- and this is geological time, it's an active, you know, when you have exposed rock it's, they're actively moving over. It might not be over years or decades or 100 years or something like that, but that just shows that it is, you know, it is an active movement over time.
