From the transcript
I've initiated a contact with DEC, and they've— I have had a conversation with the Fish and Wildlife officer. He has referred me to the EPA contact that he gave me just today to because he thinks he'll be interested in this because it's— I take the setback, it's the definition the city is digging into the water table, which is the Kenai Borough in their new gravel ordinance recommendations or has prohibited this, and there's, there's a reason for it, but I need the documents to present to the commission to verify my facts. Right, that's why I was gonna suggest Nancy over at the Kenai River Center has experience with these kinda issues with residents, and she might be a great tool or resource. Also the Kenai Watershed Forum, but Nancy at the Kenai River Center right off of Funny River Road there. Mm-hmm.
