MR. HAVLIK: Thank you, Mr. Anders. That's spelled N-E-I-L, H-A-V, like in Victor, L-I-K, and I am speaking to you tonight in my capacity as president of the Board of Directors of the Coastal San Luis Resource Conservation District. We are one of nearly 100 such agencies throughout the State of California. Our
district covers the area of San Luis Obispo County from Highway 41 in the north to the Santa Barbara County line on the south and from the coastline of the Pacific Ocean inland to the Los Padres National Forest, which, of course, includes the Diablo Canyon 12,000 acres. We offer engineering and natural resource advisory and management services to our interested publics. This includes civil engineering, not nuclear engineering, which we've been hearing about tonight, but civil engineering such as dealing with roads, water and stormwater conveyance, and water impoundments, including, but not limited to, stock water impoundments and containment structures. We also provide natural resource management and agricultural resource
management. These include things such as water quality, water conservation, erosion control and soil conservation, but very importantly, resource conservation districts are one of the natural conduits for the use of public money on private lands where those public monies have a public benefit and water quality and erosion control come immediately to mind and are common in the nexi. Is that the right word? Are common nexuses for the use of those funds. We just want to apprise the panel of this information and the services that our organization can provide We do have engineering expertise and natural resource expertise available to us and these can be applied to, really, any suitable portion of the Diablo Canyon lands, including the power plant site itself and the surrounding lands, and we would be delighted to be a participant in that. So I just ask that you keep us in mind as you move forward and we will be and will continue to be participants in this process as it moves forward. Thank you.
