Council Member Brenda Ford <br /> April28, 2011 <br /> Page 2 <br /> 4. Is there a State Inspector for carcasses and /or Agricultural Vet for live animals on- <br /> site? <br /> A federal inspector with USDA is on site from time processing starts until it is completely <br /> done and the plant reports to said inspector on a daily basis. The plant is required to <br /> comply with federal regulations and requires a federal inspector, yet the plant is required <br /> to follow State Department of Health guidelines in relation to waste and wastewater, etc. <br /> Veterinarians are brought in from Honolulu if there is a need. <br /> 5. Will the Slaughterhouse process other agricultural poultry, livestock besides cattle in <br /> the future? <br /> There is a possibility for sheep; however this slaughterhouse is designed for large <br /> animals. Smaller animals including chicken, hogs, etc. require a completely different <br /> slaughtering process. <br /> We are optimistic that the above should clarify any concerns that you may have had <br /> regarding the Pa'auilo Rendering Plant and Slaughterhouse. We look forward to moving <br /> this project forward in order to support our agricultural industry. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 7a, <br /> RANDALL M. KUROHARA <br /> Director <br />
