GEOLOGIC CONSIDERATIONS<br />

The revision <strong>of</strong> the draft includes current R&D programs that apply to uncertainties...<br />

i.e., what is being done about data gaps (see Section 5.2).<br />

Draft p. 3.1.3<br />

Issue<br />

One commenter suggested that, "... and sometimes earthquakes" should be added to "Envi-<br />

ronmental components important to mass-wasting processes..." (154)<br />

Response<br />

The text has been changed (see Section B.1 <strong>of</strong> the final Statement).<br />

Draft p. 3.1.3<br />

Issue<br />

For the sentence beginning "A surface environment conducive to long-term deposition<br />

..." the comment was made that the process <strong>of</strong> long-term deposition is so slow that adding<br />

to containment is no longer <strong>of</strong> importance. Adding material at the surface would not change<br />

in any significant way, migration at depth. (154)<br />
