We will make our own release but will not comment on the issue now.

There is no real exploitable ground water down to the Riverton area. The aquifer there is less 'clayey' and more sandy, and you can develop wells there; but none of the wells located in that region are used for domestic purposes. They are used for industrial purposes - cooling, washing down, etc.

That assumption is based on if there are no further rains; if there are further rains, the situation will be compounded and will get worse, so that means we could have a worse flooding scenario.

We expect that it (water) will continue to rise for some weeks more before it actually peaks and then begins to decline.

The Flood Water Control Act provides for that.

If Exxon knew at the time [of a 1997 City Council hearing on the matter] about this study, then the people have been sold a false bill of goods.
