Our commonwealth has put out more than 40 million permits during that time and we've only had to issue five refunds and not a single one has come from dep. That's an extraordinary accomplishment by DEP and I thank them for their great work. We went from being bottom five in the country about 48th when it came to permitting time to now being a national model for other states. Other states are now coming to Pennsylvania wondering how did we fix our permitting process and we're becoming a model for others. Just ask the culps. (19:11–19:21)
