Next is the EPA. As referenced by other members, if one were to move to register 10 cu. m abstractions rather than 25 cu. m or greater, what would be the administrative burden? With the EPA's current resources would it be practical to do so?
The EPA's submission suggests that 95% of abstractions are covered. Does that mean only 5% of current abstractions range between 10 cu. m and 25 cu. m?
