Under the CEQA findings here, we have some significant impacts that could be mitigated to less than significant impact. So let's talk about geology and soils, first of all, in regards to hazards and hazardous materials. It's my understanding that there's asbestos that was discovered or anticipated.

“Okay, my other question is, we're coming up with a number of 3,800 units before this can reach a profitable margin. Is that, any of that based on the fact that there's a $300 million cost to remediate this stuff?”
