Page 48 1 One of the questions was, you know, the 2 tree removal within the vicinity of the switchgear. 3 Not all trees that are being removed are associated 4 with the switchgear installation. It was kind of -- 5 it seemed like Mr. Malanga's question was kind of in 6 general just about the switchgear. 7 There are other trees being removed due to 8 other portions of the projects that are being built, 9 including the access drive, the -- you know, the bus 10 run, and the five bioretention basins that are being 11 installed. 12 And then one of the other questions is the 13 distance of the detention basin from each of -- from 14 the trees. It's kind of -- the distance varies. We 15 did make an effort to minimize the basin as much as 16 possible within the constraints that we had. 17 You can see there's various gaps between 18 the miscellaneous bioretentions because of 19 underground utilities that currently go through 20 there that are not super deep. So we weren't able 21 to go over the top of them. And the media that is 22 put into the bioretention basin, you wouldn't be 23 able to get the full effect of the BMP. So the 24 actual distance from the basin to the trees, like I 25 said, varies.
