Another question is... At this time..." At this time Mr. Parkin passed a copy of the proposed Class 3 Modification to Mr. Holmgren as it was apparent that he had not seen it. Mr. Parkin noted that the modification only effected storage not open burn/ open detonation . "Have you read through this? Is there anything in here...this is the permit? This is just an amendment to a permit for storage? Well that's..as long as they don't tear up more ground to build more storage buildings. Is the facilities there to store it now? It is a liquid?" At the conclusion of Mr. Holmgren comments they were played back and it was noted that Mr. Holmgren's comments were not recorded completely. The recorder only functioned intermittently. The gaps are noted in the transcript with three dots or periods (...). The gentleman was asked to repeat his statement with the recorder closer to him. His comments follow. "I would rather communicate one on one with someone who knows what's going on than with a whole room of people. I know, I've worked with one guy a lot. I can't remember his name. Who is Wallace? This is just storage. We're more concemed with the on plant buming. That's fine I guess I know what it is for. I'm through."
