Q: Curious to expand a bit on the North Carolina opportunity, timeline for evaluation, and what determines where it falls on the spectrum?

A: Chris Gannon stated that North Carolina is forward-looking, with the first 1,000 gallons of AFFF destruction to be completed in six months. The state is focused on complete elimination of AFFF, and progress will be measured by effective and quick destruction.

Q: Curious about manufacturing capacity and if it's a constraint to growth in the near term?

A: Chris Gannon said currently, the company can manufacture roughly two to four systems at a time, including various models like AS1, AS6, and AS30. Eventually, expansion of facilities will be needed, but currently, they're in a good position manufacturing at the City of Orlando's water reclamation facility and a neighboring manufacturing site in Florida.
