Skbl. Supervisor ronen could you describe again the decision like, where the two potholes were dug, why you chose those two . One was giving us the end of the street, the upper end of the street, and the other one was giving us kind of a low point on where the road was lumping up, so we figured that the pipeline is fairly straight, and that those two points face on what pg es instruction would give us, the pipeline. And the pipeline was surveyed by an additional surveyor, and a response was done. Supervisor ronen okay. Okay. And who prepared the initial response and evacuation plan .

Only the laterals from the houses will go over the pipeline 109, and we based on the elevation points we have, we were able to verify that there is enough distance to meet all the requirements, and the sections were reviewed by d. P. W. And pg e, and i think by all the departments in the process of street improvements that were still going through. Supervisor ronen and were the materials and equipment ne neede
I would like to thank everyone for being here. The scourge of Human Trafficking as modernday equivalent of slavery. Eradicating this horrific crime and helping its victims have been a top priority for president Trumps Administration and the department of justice. I think the president for his steadfast commitment to this issue and i thank avoca for her issue for her support and hosting this meeting today. I also thank all of these survivors and their advocates here for their courage and determination to end this evil scourge. In late january, a number of us were here for the white house summit on Human Trafficking. We noted that this year marks the 20th anniversary of the trafficking victims protection act. A law that has enabled great progress in this fight. I promise the Justice Department would do everything in our power to stop Human Trafficking and to help survivors port and today im pleased to announce an important step in keeping that promise. The Justice Department is awarding
