Q. And there are six levels on your chart? A. Correct. And the blue is saturated forest soils, so that would not be productive but it would be swamp type forest you see there. So you can see the wetlands really pop out on the site. Doesn't mean it can't be forested, but it's a different nature of forest. Q. So when you said it was second tier you only meant that in relation to the first level, this is actually second highest out of six categories? A. Correct. And I, you know, if I were to tell you what my grade would be, this would be a B. This is not an A, it's a B, but you can see other areas that are green, they would be A. As far as forest productivity, the quality of it. And so, yes, it doesn't mean that it's -- the wording literally is slightly less productive than 1A. Q. I just want to clarify, so second tier is second out of the six? A. Correct. Q. It's not just second out of two?
