1 disturbance to the boulder fields and areas of burrows and grottos, 



2 which are the most important nursery areas of the canyon. 



3 DR. GRASSLE: Because it would-- 



4 DR. TEAL: It would prevent disturbance—I have got it written 



5 down. I will give it to you--"to boulder fields and areas of burrows 



6 and grottos, which are the most important nursery areas." 



7 DR. VALENTINE: That may eventually become the first item 



8 underneath "A." 



9 DR. KRAEUTER: I have been wondering why we have "A" there. "A" 



10 is fine, but then it does not match with "B." 



11 DR. MILLER: Those were used for organizational purposes, when 



12 there was just writing--these were just simply used as an outline. 



13 (Simultaneous discussion.) 



14 DR. KRAEUTER: They can figure it out. 



15 DR. GRASSLE: Maybe we can just delete this heading, "Operational 



16 Discharges." 



17 DR. VALENTINE: That is really part of the justification and 



18 conclusions, right? All of this section here? 



19 DR. GRASSLE: I think the big heading is "Conclusions." We do not 



20 need a big heading, "Operational Discharges." I would delete the word 



21 "set-back," because that is--you know, these are just statements--"A," 



22 "B," et cetera. 



23 DR. VALENTINE: But are we going to have a separate heading to 



24 replace "Operational Discharges?" 



25 DR. GRASSLE: I would suggest not. 



26 DR. VALENTINE: I would like to make a few little changes or 



27 suggestions. 



28 "No rig should be closer than 500 meters to the--" instead of rim 



29 put in "boundary of a canyon as defined by NOAA." These boundaries go 



30 around the canyon on the shelf, but also down the slope. 



31 Then, further down, where it says "it would be possible to contain 



32 all operational discharges," I would insert something like, "for on- 



33 shore treatment." Is that what they do?
