The project description for the Mackenzie Valley Highway has been worked on and is complete. We intend to work within the right-of-way of the proposed road. Where there is a cleared right-of-way, we’ll use that. But we’re going to follow that approved route. It’s a trench that’s four inches wide and about six inches deep and very modest in terms of its effect on the environment. It’s trenched, then the cable is laid, and it’s filled in behind. We’re going to use directional drilling. We’re going to go under every creek and river so that we leave the water systems alone. We look at this as being about as environmentally benign a project as there could possibly be.
