It is also important to state what WES did not provide during the course 

 of the studies. The following items were not part of WES's mission: 



a. WES did not provide project design. (Conceptual designs for 

 testing were provided to WES by SLC. Design optimization will be 

 performed by the private sector if a project is approved). 



b. WES did not (and does not) recommend one alternative over 

 another. (Many more issues besides technical feasibility are 

 involved in the Bolsa Chica decision process.) 



c. WES did not provide analysis of issues outside the WES scope of 

 work. 



WES did not interpret study results in the context required for 

 "Confirmation" hearings.
