And so the benefits of downstream control include Water Quality benefits, conveyance capacity benefits, operational flexibility, maintenance, reduction costs excuse me, reduction in maintenance and Operations Costs over the 100year life of the tunnel, expected to be on the order of 20 million on a preliminary basis. More flexibility with Priest Reservoir supply and also hydro power benefits which are currently under evaluation. And so the schedule for this project would be essentially to begin our ceqa and nea process immediately. That would take a little over two years. In parallel, we would do our design process and also the rightofway accusations that are needed for the project for staging areas and access and we would expect to issue
