They have a <br /> scope of work that has that detail and some additional detail that i <br /> developed that includes the work that UMass is doing. They are not just <br /> looking at the application, they are looking at the long tern effect. <br /> Mr. Sherman stated the Commission will reed more detail,, if they have it <br /> that is fine. There is a policy that things-must be in house five days prior to <br /> hearings in order that the public have a chance to look it over. The hearing <br /> will have to be continued anyway.
