We need greater capacity. We need more room in the fish passage lifts to lift them up.

I'm trying to get the benefit if we were to increase the capacity at the reservoir on a normal basis.

So let me just ask you, again, about the methodology that you used here.

Well, my concern is if you're going to have more nutrient as the result of a scour event that occurs in the spring rather than in another time of the year.

We just want to know that we're as well prepared as we can be.

I think by working hand in hand with Exelon and all the other partners that are here in this room, we can find a good balance here.

Well, thank you very much for that testimony. I feel like I'm getting a continuing legislative credit for your presentation.

And it's a lot more cost effective to do it at the local level than it is to try to figure out what happens now that we have all this trapped sediment.

I started the hearing by saying we're very much interested in expanding, not only maintaining, but expanding clean energy sources.

I will always remember the legislators from Pennsylvania, because they don't have the same direct site of the Chesapeake Bay that we have in Maryland, and yet their understanding of the importance of what happens in Pennsylvania on the…

I think that's the real challenge that we have in dealing with this, so that all stakeholders are treated fairly.

I was thinking of how we could use that money in the State revolving fund to help in regards to dealing with wastewater treatment.

I think the watershed improvement plans are going to be critical in the TMDLs as to how we manage the most effective, most efficient, most cost-effective plans based upon best science to achieve our objectives.

This is a chance for us to upgrade and to take care of those shad that are particularly important to Maryland's history.

You're absolutely right. People identify with their own community, and the way that you've done that is very successful.

We know that it's a national treasure, but it's complicated to figure out how we provide the best protection for the Bay for future generations.

We're very interested, and we have an excellent relationship with the State and with Exelon on this issue.

So I just would encourage you and thank you for supporting as much of the science information as we can get so that we can make the right decisions.
