The installation of radar facility. A new hightech facility radar facility on top of Montara Mountain which is a regional effort were taking part in with other water and floodcontrol agencies in the bay area called the advanced quantitative precipitative information system, aqpi is the acronym for short. But the whole concept is to establish a Radar Network that can provide much better accuracy in terms of predictions of prescription in various parts of the bay area. What weve seen historically and recently is more extreme evens s and those are going to be significant for us to deal with as well as other agencies. Weve got a cooperative effort being largely funded from a grant to acquire radar facilities and then operate them in cooperation with National Oceananic and Atmospheric Administration and folks from Colorado State university.
