I thank Ms Gurrie. On the registration process can she tell us what exactly is involved in the process for an abstractor? How complex and onerous is it to register? As I understand it the heads abstraction is not metered but only done on estimate. A person may be abstracting 27 cu. m but that may be estimated as only 24 cu. m. What is involved in the registration process, both from the abstractor and from the EPA?
