1 I mean, they are not going to discharge anything at sea, but it is 



2 being contained for on-shore treatment, is that-- 



3 MR. VILD: No, it can be just transported off site and then 



4 dumped. 



5 DR. VALENTINE: Oh, all right. Do we have to qualify--it says, 



6 "to contain all discharges--" 



7 Would anybody want to know what is going to happen to that stuff? 



8 DR. GRASSLE: We are making that "to be transported off site." 



9 DR. KRAEUTER: If they store it there, who cares? 



10 DR. VALENTINE: It has to be transported off eventually. It is 



11 not discharged there, that is the point. 



12 (Simultaneous discussion.) 



13 DR. GRASSLE: Okay, so we amend this--"Within canyons it would be 



14 possible--" 



15 DR. TEAL: "--to transport all operational discharges--" 



16 DR. KRAEUTER: "--to contain and transport--" 



17 DR. TEAL: You do not need to have "contain." 



18 DR. GRASSLE: "--to transport operational discharges off site--" 



19 (Simultaneous discussion.) 



20 DR. MACIOLEK: Off-site--deeper in the canyon? 



21 (Simultaneous discussion.) 



22 DR. GRASSLE: You do not like "off-site?" 



23 (Simultaneous discussion.) 



24 DR. MACIOLEK: Away from the canyon? 



25 DR. TEAL: Away from the canyon--simple and straightforward. 



26 DR. VALENTINE: The next sentence might be clarified to say, 



27 "Production wells could be added to reach up to 2 miles away from the 



28 platform and thus drill beneath a canyon." 



29 It was not really too clear to me--somebody who has not really 



30 thought about this-- 



31 DR. GRASSLE: This raises a more general question. Do we need 



32 this parenthesis at all? We are in conclusions. 



33 DR. TEAL: I do not think so. 



34 DR. GRASSLE: Let's take it out.
