In other words, the most confident rock subsurface conditions in all their cross sections. There was a -- some of their borings they got, for example, very low RQDs, if you can remember that. The rock quality designation. The lower -- it's from zero to 100 percent and the lower the quality, in other words, the lower the percentage, the worse the rock quality was in. And we're using the higher rock quality data that they had and assuming they're very high, what's called a geological strength index, which is also reflective of, you can use that during the RQDs you get in the field. So for cross section C and D -- cross section C is the section that is the most northeast of the property. It's actually the section that goes through and then it goes down Howell Avenue. It's where the closest houses are -- excuse me, on Howell Drive, are located. And we also looked at Section D, which is just next to that, just a little bit more south of that in the same vicinity of that slope. So we ended up using their information to develop our slope stability analysis. So we obtained topographic data from the town that's available, the township wide topographic data because I did not have access to the applicants
