Terry Waugh: And around there, there is a heavy smell of oil.

Priscilla Hook: And another thing, supposedly that turnaround where the trucks are, they are filling, filling and filling. I think it is just dumping ground now. Too much fill. I don't see the reason for it.

Bob: That is further down. Why are they dumping there?

Priscilla Hook: I don't know. They are encroaching the golf course now.

Bob: Rick Amirault is downstairs. I will talk to him. We will give the orders going out and they will be responsible for the activity.
