It was one of the 17 quarries that were audited; that is important. That is clear so. In terms of the EN 12620, there is the standard recommendation, SR 16 process. Under that process, a geological and petrographic assessment is required on an ongoing basis. Once the first assessment is done, it is required every three years from then on. I want to be clear on this point. Of the 17 quarries that the Department audited, were these geological and petrographic assessments looked at for each quarry, including the one I am most concerned about?
