Cleaning up this project will go over a number of years. We estimate, from what we know of the spill and the leak and the contamination right now, that over the next ten years it could cost as much as $2.7 million because the spill is old. It was discovered in 1996. It was happening for some time before that. Given the nature of the soil in Fort Smith, it seeped a long ways. Thank you.
