17 years, the leak was going on, three or four hundred gallons a minute coming out of the deep <br />aquifer into the salt water and the basal ground water below. <br />Another testifier spoke about this aquifer being a really good resource because it's capped and <br />sealed off, so if we mess up our aquifers up above, we still got that as a reserve or insurance <br />policy. And, this testifier was concerned about setting a precedence. He talked about what's <br />happened on Oahu, overdevelopment of wells compromise the system and now the once pristine <br />system is contaminated with military and agricultural waste. <br />And, last point is about noise. There was discussion where the Planning Department staff said <br />it's really hard to enforce noise ordinances and the Commission felt maybe it wasn't that <br />difficult, but it looked like noise could really be a problem and very hard to get that project, for <br />people to change anything. Thank you. <br />RAFFIPIY: Thank you very much. Do you have any questions for the testifiers, Commission? <br />Thank you very much. You may take your seat. Can I have the next group of testifiers come <br />forth, please? Mr. Dwight Vicente, Jaerick Medeiros-Garcia, Dean Fukuchi, and Claudia Rohr. <br />ROHR (from audience): You cut out. Could you say that again? <br />RAFFIPIY: I have Dwight Vicente, Jaerick Medeiros-Garcia, Dean Fukuchi, and Claudia Rohr. <br />Please come forth. <br />ROHR (near the testing tables): Which way are we going? I want to be last. <br />HALL: You can go right there. <br />RAFFIPIY: You can sit right there, ma'am. Can you please raise your right hand? Do you <br />swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Planning Commission? <br />MEDEIROS-GARCIA/FUKUCHL [Nodded yes.] <br />ROHR: I do. <br />RAFFIPIY: All answered affirmative. Thank you. We'll start from this end of the table going <br />back. You may state your name, who you represent, the area you reside. Please speak directly <br />into the microphone. Thank you. <br />MEDEIRO S -GARCIA: Mahalo. Aloha, everybody. Thank you for this opportunity for letting <br />me speak. I come from Pepe`eke6, Makanaloa. My name is Jaerick Medeiros-Garcia, and I <br />thought this issue was solved already. For real. We're back here at the table again. But, I just <br />was, I'm just here to oppose anything against this—you know, whatever this Piilani Water <br />Bottling Company wants to do. I don't know if you guys realize but that is conservation land. <br />don't know how they would get one permit to build anything in some place that's going to be <br />flooding or King Tides putting our County responsible for allowing these things to happen, you <br />know. And, notice, that right behind our County building, this big rain that we just had, by the <br />EXHIBIT B <br />6 <br />
