It's a pond cross section. We're coming from the bottom of the pond, and so there's our base point. We have the bottom of our pond. But where are we going? We are going to an absolute elevation of 737. Well, how are you going to get there from the bottom of the pond? We're going to go at a slope of 3:1.
