Mr. Chairman, clearly there is a significant number of challenges in that area. I am intrigued. You talked about basically hundreds of places they are doing assessments of the water. It is difficult to pull them together. Is that actually part of the fed’s plan, is to pull together the data from all of those different individuals or groups or organizations or companies, pulling together the data? Are they only going to be compiling the data they collect themselves? The reason I ask is, if they are not, why would we wait for somebody else to compile it? Is there not an opportunity for us, if the feds aren’t doing it, to compile some kind of information and create our own sort of data base or one-stop shop for where all this information lies so that we can be comfortable that we have an idea of the status and quality of our water? Obviously, I would rather the feds do it, quite frankly. If they are not, the data is out there. Can it be pulled together from all of those sources so that we have a real clear vision of our water quality in the North?
