But if we do see the nature of the 2 work, the proposed plan based on engineering 3 requirements that as I mentioned if there's an 4 improvement, there's grading in relation to that 5 improvement that might detrimentally impact the health 6 of that tree within a short span or even a long span we 7 will recommend that it does get taken down. 8 We also should mention that as part of our 9 process, our design process we work hand-in-hand with 10 PSE&G vegetation management within their internal team. 11 They are beholden to additional authorities that have 12 jurisdiction over these sites.
