PLOCKER: What's is the geology of the ground under the proposed Building D in the footprint? THE WITNESS: It is -- it's basically volcanic intrusion. It's basalt. MR. PLOCKER: Bedrock? THE WITNESS: I'm sorry? MR. PLOCKER: Any bedrock. THE WITNESS: Yes. Yeah, that's the definition of bedrock. MR. PLOCKER: Okay. I just wanted to make that clear. THE WITNESS: Not competent bedrock. Thank you. MR. PLOCKER: Just give me one moment, please. CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Sure. MR.
