secured, signs have been placed and we monitor the condition of the lawn and the soil there on a regular basis. So, we don't end up with a situation that exposes the public unnecessarily to a greater risk. REPLOGLE: Thank you. Are there any other questions from Commissioners? DARROW: Mr. Chairman? REPLOGLE: Yes. DARROW: This is Jeff with the Planning Department I wanted to just address a question that was brought up earlier by Commissioner Clarkson regarding the need of a permit for these remediation actions. We've had not a whole lot but a few of these types of remediation projects come through the Planning Department and the question always come up whether or not they require any type of SMA permit or County permit or State permit. There's this section in the Hawaii Revised Statutes, Section 128D-23. This is within the Environmental Response Law and as James had mentioned it's pretty much overseen by Department of Health Hazard Evaluation and Emergency Response (HEER) Division. As long as you comply with that chapter your exempt from all State and County permits so, they have to work with that particular agency to come up with a remediation plan and follow that plan accordingly. So, I'm sure as James had mentioned that DOT as well as the County will be working with DOH and therefore the remediation portion would be exempt. KOMATA: In addition to that, this is James from Parks and Recreation. So, that is exactly what the next step in the process is for DOT. The DOH here office was on the call this morning and they emphasis the need to have, there is going to be a public notification input process that goes along with that exemption that Jeff pointed out. So, the public will be notified and will have an opportunity to provide input on that exemption procedure. REPLOGLE: Okay, thank you. CLARKSON: Let me just follow up if I may please, I don't want to delay things but— REPLOGLE: Joe. CLARKSON: — is for Mr. Komata. It still isn't clear to me whether what County will be doing its lead remediation project simultaneously with the State remediation project under the bridge. I know how long these can take and I'm just wondering whether you were going to wait, the County will wait for the State to complete before they begin their lead remediation projects around the buildings. KOMATA: Yes, this is James from Parks and Recreation. We will wait for DOT to complete their work and leave the site and then we will implement our project which includes lead remediation as part of it immediately following their completion. Again, I'm not sure how much detail you guys get into in the background stuff but the lead remediation having to do with the bridge sourced areas extends anywhere from surface soil or top six (6) inches, top four(4) inches EXHIBIT B 10
