MS. JOHNSON: Thank you so much to the panel, especially Larry and Patrick. I am very interested in maintaining the use of the desalinization plant. I own two properties in Carlsbad and I'm very familiar with that plant. We really do need to balance out the consideration of a seven-mile pipeline versus saltwater intrusion for highly valuable ag land in the area Huasna, Oceano. I think we need to preserve that extra water resource. Carlsbad is operated by Poseidon It's at no cost to the taxpayers and I think you could probably get vendors to operate and provide the water through the desal plant. I'm excited about that.

Also would like to see some extra camping and glamping in the area. That's a beautiful area and I think that would be a light touch and could afford a lot of enjoyment for that area.

So those are my two -- I think the panel has been wonderful, very informative and I'm excited about learning more about this as we go ahead, but I really hope that the desal plant is repurposed and continued and we continue to learn and refine and figure out howto power that resource. So thank you very much.
