Does this 5 chain-link fence encircle the existing equipment at the 6 site? 7 THE WITNESS: To my knowledge it encircles 8 the 230kV yard. 9 MR. MALANGA: Would it not be possible to 10 use a similar approach and use a chain-link fence on 11 the interior of this site to encircle the proposed 12 equipment? 13 CHAIRMAN NEUER: I don't understand the 14 question. 15 MR. MALANGA: I'll try to rephrase that, 16 Mr. Chairman. Would it not be possible to encircle the 17 proposed equipment by a chain-link fence so the 18 fence -- the new chain-link fence would be on the 19 interior of the site, not on the perimeter of the site, 20 and maintain a lower fence on the perimeter? 21 THE WITNESS: I apologize that I cannot 22 answer as I am not a security expert. 23 MR. PORTER: And objection. That would 24 call for a specific design and engineering information, 25 to which this witness does not have personal knowledge Page 115 1 would measurable alter the character of the 2 neighborhood. 3 MR. MALANGA: So cutting down trees and 4 other vegetation along the perimeter of the site, and 5 having it take ten years for it to regrow will not 6 alter the character of the site, is that what you -- 7 MS. PORTER: I object. 8 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Mr. Malanga, asked and 9 answered. Let's go on to something else, please. 10 MR. MALANGA: I have no other questions. 11 Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you Ms. Merainer. 12 CHAIRMAN NEUER: You have 10 seconds left. 13 MR. MALANGA: I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman. I'm 14 going to have to yield that to someone else. 15 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Okay. Good clock 16 management, Kevin. 17 Mr. Fagan, any other hands going up? 18 MR. FAGAN: Yes, Mr. Chairperson. Micaela 19 Bennett welcome back to the meeting. Please state your 20 name and address for the record. 21 MS. BENNETT: Thank you, Mr. Fagan. My 22 name is Micaela Bennett and I live at 35 Old Indian 23 Road. 24 I just -- is it possible to share your 25 exhibits again? Is it possible to share the Page 114 1 or expertise. 2 MR. MALANGA: You indicate that the 3 proposed use and the construction necessary for the 4 proposed use would not alter the character of the 5 neighborhood; is that right? 6 THE WITNESS: It will not alter the 7 character

icate that the 3 proposed use and the construction necessary for the 4 proposed use would not alter the character of the 5 neighborhood; is that right? 6 THE WITNESS: It will not alter the 7 character of the neighborhood in terms of the 8 longstanding public utility use. We are endeavoring to 9 provide you with a fence that is a modern equivalent of 10 the existing fence and we are providing trees in 11 accordance with a landscape ordinance. 12 MR. MALANGA: Did you hear the testimony of 13 Mr. Futey? 14 THE WITNESS: I did. 15 MR. MALANGA: Did you hear him say it would 16 take at least 10 years before the plantings develop any 17 semblance of maturity? 18 THE WITNESS: I did. 19 MR. MALANGA: You did? 20 THE WITNESS: I did. 21 MR. MALANGA: So for a period of 10 years 22 will it alter the character of the site? 23 THE WITNESS: I believe the compelling 24 reason is electric reliability and we are doing our 25 best to mitigate this. So I do not believe that it Page 116 1 photographs? 2 THE WITNESS: I will endeavor to do so. 3 I'm just going to pull down my screen a little bit so I 4 can press the share button. 5 MR. FAGAN: Mr. Chairperson, would it be 6 possible for you to keep the clock being I do not have 7 it on screen? 8 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Yes, I have one going. 9 Thank you, Mr. Fagan. 10 MS. BENNETT: Thank you. 11 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Okay. Ms. Bennett, 12 there's the first picture. 13 MS. BENNETT: Yes, the first. Would you 14 mind just slowly sharing each of them? 15 THE WITNESS: Yes. I'll go back to the 16 beginning. 17 MS. BENNETT: Thank you. 18 THE WITNESS: Okay. This one I had meant 19 to show. This is perhaps a -- this might be A-13. I 20 had meant to show this first. This is our East 21 Rutherford substation. Is there a specific thing 22 you're looking for? 23 MS. BENNETT: Actually, if you leave that 24 one that's actually perfect. I don't know that that 25 was shared previously so I'm not sure if it's a part of
