1 DR. BUTMAN: That's a bad word. I didn't know quite how to word 



2 it. 



3 DR. TEAL: One extreme you're saying is that you can't generalize 



4 science. Results from one place never apply 1 foot over. We certainly 



5 don't agree with that, because we'd all be out of a job. Well, we 



6 wouldn't be here if we felt that. 



7 It is a matter of degree, to the extent to which the things that 



8 you have written down there--I mean, it seems to me the extent to which 



9 we have to not just import the conclusion from a study done somewhere 



10 else, but take the information about the processes and the dilution and 



11 so forth and apply it to the special situation of canyonheads. Then, I 



12 think you can do that. 



13 DR. BUTMAN: What I was really trying to think of, Don, is 



14 that--and I was thinking of it primarily from a physical side. The one 



15 thing I was thinking was that the zone of influence has always been 



16 taken as 1 or 2 kilometers. I think that that-- 



17 DR. AURAND: I'd like to change it. I think that is more 



18 reasonable. 



19 DR. BUTMAN: Taking into account what Jim said this morning, I 



20 think that depending on where materials are discharged, that's been sort 



21 of a very basic tenet of all the studies we have heard. You never see 



22 anything past 1 kilometer in terms of chemistry. 



23 I think that that is something we need to examine in the canyon 



24 system and just not say that it is-- 



25 DR. AURAND: You need to examine that conclusion in the light of 



26 the conditions which exist in this area and see what it means, but the 



27 fact that all of the previous studies have shown that zone is an 



28 important piece of information and it should not be rendered 



29 inapplicable. 



30 DR. BUTMAN: Okay. 



31 DR. TEAL: I personally feel we don't want that in there at all. 



32 I mean, of course, we use information from previous science and we apply 



33 it to the special situation and we all take that for granted.
