the community. we have been working with oliver de silva discussing this project. last time you heard from us was a number of years ago where we actually spent time opposing the quarry. this time we are glad to be part that we have excellent working working relationship and found oliver de silva to be sensitive to the community and supportive of the community in proposing for a community improvement fund which will allow the community to focus on specific needs within their boundaries, and also they have agreed to provide funding for our cert program, our emergency response program. we are somewhat isolated and concerned about what kind of response we can get in terms of a serious emergency. they have agreed to give us at this time this permit is approved a $20,000 grant to continue our cert efforts which will provide equipment and emergency
