It does not require any use to be made of the testimony, but it does  
give people a voice to be on record and then forwarded to DNR. I think  
it would be a good organizing tool for the CAFO issue overall. Ind I  
suppose, for example, when the EPC originally denied that Dallas  
County permit, a process like this would have given them even more to  
stand on.
