Mr. Jerry Grant:

It is absolutely top of the list. Where we have schemes in progress on site and know a solution is imminent within 12 months, we are driving on with them because it would probably take that length of time to procure a temporary plan and have it commissioned on site. In Castlerea, where no contractor has been commissioned, we are examining whether we can put in place a temporary plant. We need to have it sized properly and figure out requirements. The treatment requirements are not the same from scheme to scheme. Ultraviolet radiation can work in some cases but in others we need coagulation filtration. We need to know what the answer is and will then set about doing it. If we can put in place a temporary skid mounted plant, we will do so, but even this takes a certain length of time. One must investigate and solve the problem and go through a procurement process, build the plant, get it to the site and undertake the ground works. In the case of the Kileglan and Boyle schemes, it will be quicker to put in place the permanent scheme, as the contractor is working on the ground.
