activities are not allowed. As regards this project in its amended form, there are pluses, minuses and questions. On the F'~~:~ side, the reduction from 416 condo's to 49 residential lots will certainly reduce the negative impacts on the infrastructure. Also the inclusion of Goodfellow Bros. contractors presently working on adjacent Hawaiian Homes Land would indicate that the project might actually begin in a timely fashion if granted necessary permits. The minuses are, (1) A 1982 EIS is inadequate and outdated for assessing and mitigating the impacts fora 1996 project, (2) a 40 foot shoreline set back is insufficient, (3) The treatment of sewage and drainage is outdated and need to be brought up to 1996 specifications, (4) A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems Permit (NPDES) should be required. The permit petition states it will be filed if required. (See Exhibit B, Appendix). We need to see the response from Mr Aaron Ueno of the State of Hawaii, Dept. of Health,". to Glen Koyama's July 5, 1996 letter, regarding "Underground Injection Control". The following are questions that need answers and our (Hui Lihikai's) recommendations: 1. If purchasers are allowed to design and develop there own lots how do we know how long they will have to build their homes? Maybe years? How will view plains be protected. Homes built 40 ft. from the shoreline are bound to impact the view plain. The commission and public needs to see a copy of the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions of re this project receives final approval. 2. Have local Hawaiians been consulted about the Rosendahl survey? Mr. Rosendahl is characterized by some Hawaiians as a "developers archeologist". Perhaps Jojo Tanimoto of Kawaihae or Ana Kahoopii of Hawi could agree on an alternate archeologist acceptable t6 the developers? 3. What is going to happen on that odd sized 4.5 acre 50th lot? This needs to be addressed and finalized before this project moves forward. No part of this long delayed project should be left in limbo. The owners have received enough comp time. It's time to fish or cut bait. 4. Regarding SMA Guidelines. SMA Guidelines, A.1 to A.5 (p.17 of SMA permit petition). "Appropriate construction methodologies and proper erosion and sedimentation control measures will be employed to minimize adverse impacts on offshore water quality". What State or County agency, will have personnel on site daily, during consruction, to monitor this promise? Enforcement is a major problem on this island. 5. Alternatives for potable water for this project need to be addressed due to water disputes pending in this area. Thank you.
