What was said
28:26 impact statement. As part of this, it essentially is covering the preferred alternative. As we talked about really extensively through the process, the alternatives, the no action Alt 1 and Alt 2 represented the range of what was possible. And the preferred alternative generally fell within that range, which was intentional. That's where we wanted to be so that we could demonstrate we were clearly analyzing impacts, making that information available to the community, and then responding to their comments. So this has been published, and the final environmental impact statement is quite long. It's a requirement under the State Environmental Policy Act.

And then as we find things that maybe are not fully aligned or don't work or not working as anticipated, we will be efficient and responsive to that. And so this certainly is not intended ever to imply we will not be changing things or that things are now set in stone, as is true of the world. It's also true of our planning documents and regulations. Things are always changing. And we'll be working with stakeholders and partners to ensure that we're working together to meet our goals. That's all we've
