in the old strat conan rating the highest intensity we found was 35, so a fairly intense rating and the lowest was 12 in west mount and that fits with the trends of what's happening in those neighborhoods. so taggers is a very important part of the graffiti audit. when we first started the audit mark went on his observe and he was new to graffiti so him and his assistant did their best to log the tags. what we wanted to do was try and see if we could increase the percentage of tags that were identified. so two bylaw officers accompanied them throughout the audit and they assist with identification of taggers. our rate for identifying taggers has gone up to 70 percent through the audit so the information we are able to gather in terms of intell is critical in terms of enforcement efforts. last year's audit, 2011, ome and iran were two of the taggers arrested and focused on by the edmonton police service based on what's going on through an every day basis, brute and chrome, which are two of the most prolific taggers we have right now, that is the focus the edmonton are going after and the

want to work with you to see that we finally and fully resolve this fairly for the citizens of king conan i have a number of questions to ask. we have votes that will interact, but i hope that we will have a chance to have further discussion about some of the things that i find really timely for us right now. one that i want to bring up is the situation that we have with our legacy wells up in the national petroleum reserve. my statement has been that i think the department is presiding over an environmental disaster within the national petroleum reserve and that this has to be addressed, it has to be remedied. we have more than a hundred wells drilled by the federal government and then they walked away. they abandoned them. are full of wells contaminants, that pollute the environment. the federal government has abandoned responsibly to clean up after itself. el --'s funding if we keep it up at this pace, it is going to be more than 100 years to clean up the mess that the federal government participated in. as i have told you, madam secretary, in person and in recent hearings, it is categ
