Yes, through the chair, Member Baldwin Day, when I speak about risks, you know, those are in general large-scale, you know, something bad happens to the pipeline, for example. And so when we talk about building resiliency in that, that's really resiliency in water sources. So that's looking at other alternative water sources like deep wells with high production capabilities that we could use to supplement or, you know, take over for the Eklutna water source when it's offline. And then, on the other side of that is also, as we go through the project, making sure that we're providing input and making sure that the project has, you know, resiliency built into it as far as construction techniques and engineering technology and whatnot.
