Val Hala causing, you know, major traffic issues and stuff. And, as far as where the water goes,
<br />it went down to the highway which caused a lot of land—what do you call—landfalls. Okay,
<br />now, it's not so much that, you know. There needs to be a hydrology test—oh, there's a time
<br />limit? [Referring to Ms. Hall's cue sign.] Oh, nobody told me that. How much time did I have?
<br />HALL: Three minutes.
<br />CLARKSON: Three minutes.
<br />ENOCENCIO: Okay.
<br />CLARKSON: Because you were not informed, please proceed, but try to wrap it up reasonably
<br />soon.
<br />ENOCENCIO: Okay, the thing about it is, is there's a hydrology issue, and which needs to be
<br />really looked into as far as drainage and all this stuff. Now, you know, it worked well with, what
<br />do you call, cesspools. I don't think it's going to work too well with, what do you call, sewage
<br />being pumped down all the way down to Keaukaha or wherever it's going to go. It's going to be
<br />some major, major infrastructure that needs to be looked into.
<br />Another thing, I'm not sure if a cultural survey was ever anticipated in this project or if I, you
<br />know, an EIS was ever committed or anything like that, but that really needs to be looked into.
<br />There's a lot of artifacts still being discovered on the land, even though the plantation used that
<br />area for a hundred years.
<br />Now, also, the last thing I'd like to input is basically this. How did it get from Crown lands
<br />which was leased, okay, by the Crown, and then families up there, all of a sudden the camps
<br />starting closing up, they broke down the camps that I was living in, Camp 4, and then Camp 2, 3,
<br />4, and 5 was demolished and then we went move down to Camp 1 after my dad died, then
<br />Ha`aheo, then into Wainaku. We need to look further into this. How did—or if there is a title to
<br />that land. I think Mr. Olson needs to present that, and also the Bureau of Conveyances need to
<br />acknowledge the fact that there is a clear title and it's not cloudy.
<br />I want to thank you very much for the opportunity. I will submit a written testimony, though, on
<br />behalf of keeping prime agricultural lands agriculture. Thank you.
<br />CLARKSON: Thank you. Any questions from the Commission for this testifier?
<br />REPLOGLE: Yes, you said the drainage was poor, but it is still usable good agricultural land
<br />that's not going to interfere withI was told this that many new subdivisions are happening as a
<br />result of needed housing, and those small areas were impractical to farm because of what they
<br />would do with adjoining people living there.
<br />ENOCENCIO: Well
<br />REPLOGLE: —And that, you know what I'm getting at?
