65b96228-b9ab-4f72-9291-fa4a14ff04c8 32 (Pages 125 to 128) Page 125 1 not knowing what all PSE&G has looked at, I can't 2 tell you if that can be done, but I would hope that 3 that was something that had been considered by them. 4 Q. What are the impacts -- you know, 5 you're saying, well, we could move potentially the 6 new equipment that is on what I believe would be the 7 southeastern part of the property. You said they 8 could move it north. 9 What would be entailed in moving it 10 north and are there any restrictions either with 11 respect to the way they operate or physically that 12 they could not be moved, in your knowledge? 13 A. In my knowledge, again, if I -- if we 14 move this switch gear up here to this northerly side, 15 instead of running bus work from this transformer 16 down and this transformer down, we come from this 17 transformer here on the south side and go up to it 18 and this goes up and this goes over, it may be 19 shorter routes for their bus work to be installed, 20 which would then entail less cost to PSE&G. 21 Q. Now, in terms of moving it to that 22 location with other uses that may be there, does it 23 have any potential impact on that portion of the 24 property or the things near that as opposed to where 25 it is being planned for today? Page 127 1 transformer. That's got to be removed for all this 2 to be installed on the south side. 3 Q. Now, with respect to maintaining power 4 and being -- service during a move to any such area, 5 would that plan that you were just discussing be able 6 to support -- be able to support the continuation of 7 service during the time that you move it in that 8 area? 9 A. They should be -- you should be able to 10 continue supporting service as this is being 11 installed, whether it is installed in the present 12 location or if you shift it, you know, just slightly 13 north and west or whether it gets -- 14 (Connection lost.) 15 MR. TURTELTAUB: I think we have a 16 freeze here. 17 CHAIRMAN NEUER: We lost him. 18 MR. TURTELTAUB: I think we lost him. 19 Mr. Blanton, can you hear us? 20 CHAIRMAN NEUER: The screen is blank. 21 MR. TURTELTAUB: I'm seeing his 22 picture, but it's frozen right now. 23 CHAIRMAN NEUER: I'm seeing a blank 24 screen with his name on it. 25 MS. PORTER: Yes, I see him frozen. Page 126 1 A. There is nothing that I have seen in 2 the report that has any details on what is up

AIRMAN NEUER: I'm seeing a blank 24 screen with his name on it. 25 MS. PORTER: Yes, I see him frozen. Page 126 1 A. There is nothing that I have seen in 2 the report that has any details on what is up in that 3 area besides the trees, or if they have any future 4 use for that property. 5 So I have not seen anything to say what 6 that's going to be used for, or if it's just going to 7 remain as trees for the long term. 8 Q. With respect to the elevations of the 9 site in the northeastern part of the property where 10 you're looking at or even just moving it north, does 11 the elevation of where that equipment would be have 12 any impact on the ability to locate it there? 13 A. As long as we can obtain a flat site to 14 put the switch gear on, elevation doesn't matter. 15 And then the bus work, you know, the elevation of the 16 bus work is based upon how short or how tall the 17 supporting structures are. 18 Q. And the fact that there's equipment in 19 there today is the likelihood that that's already 20 graded to -- at this point in time to support such 21 equipment? 22 A. It should be a fairly flat site here 23 where this existing equipment will be removed. 24 Because, at the same time, you can just see the top 25 edge of the existing equipment for this south Page 128 1 MR. TURTELTAUB: I will reach out to 2 him and see if I can let him know that. 3 Hold on one second. 4 MR. SCOTT: Time for the Jeopardy 5 music. 6 CHAIRMAN NEUER: I really do have to 7 put that in my phone. 8 BOARD SECRETARY: I guess he got kicked 9 off now. 10 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Tell him to log back 11 in, Jim. 12 MR. TURTELTAUB: That is what I am 13 trying to do, yes. I am trying to get that done. 14 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Tell him to warm up 15 first so he's not frozen. 16 MR. SCOTT: Mr. Chair, it is 10:52, 17 so... 18 CHAIRMAN NEUER: I am there with you. 19 I am going to try to get through his direct and, 20 hopefully, Mr. Turteltaub can get him through 21 quickly; otherwise, we will adjourn. 22 You may want to start looking at your 23 calendar. 24 Diana, you as well. 25 While we're waiting, Diana, what's -- I
