Page 111 1 from 96 years ago. 2 MR. MALANGA: You said you need -- that is 3 PSE&G needs a more robust fence. Why is that? 4 THE WITNESS: That is because you yourself 5 have probably read in the news that utility substations 6 may or may not be targets. We need the most robust 7 fence we can get. That's why we have updated our 8 standards over the many years. And this I can speak to 9 due to my longevity as a PSE&G employee. In the '80s 10 and '90s it appears we were mostly using chain-link 11 with barbed wire. Then we were mostly using chained 12 link. We have evolved to using this decorative fence. 13 MR. MALANGA: And when did you evolve to 14 using the decorative fence? 15 THE WITNESS: In the 2010s. That is when 16 we started using this fence. And I have projects from 17 that era where we have used this decorative fence. 18 MR. MALANGA: Do you have any information 19 as to incidents of trespassing or vandalism or acts of 20 terrorism at this site? 21 THE WITNESS: I do not but I may not be 22 privy to that information. If you are able to walk 23 along the sidewalk with this fence you perhaps have 24 noticed that there are sections that perhaps don't look 25 the most secure.
