Notes:
Lastly, I would like to touch on changes in suspended sediment during construction. In this case, what we are looking at is the worst case. There are two dredges over by the existing airfield, and four dredges out here in the Bay, two of which are actually dredging material up, and two of which are actually placing material. Now what we are going to see here is an instantaneous movie [movie not available], instantaneous meaning what would be seen at that time somewhere in the water column, not necessarily seen at the surface. And what we are looking at here is change, as it is in suspended sediment, in milligrams per liter ranging from this kind of yellow/brown color at 10 mg per liter up to red which is about 45. I should point out that given this range -- while you watch this -- that the range in the Bay varies from about 10 to 300 mg per liter, depending on the wind conditions during the day. So here we are seeing the changes.
And with that, I would like to turn it over to Terry Cooke to talk about water quality.
