Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – October 24, 2016 <br /> <br />TL: The EIS... <br /> <br />EC: It will provide a component of that, but there’s been work over the years, <br />actually, to get the research on safety of different things or what are the <br />non-target of risk so the work on this has actually been multi-year, <br />probably, over the last fifteen... <br /> <br />TL: Um-hum.... <br /> <br />EC: ....to sixteen years. <br /> <br />?: \[Man not speaking in the microphone\] I think the intent tonight was to – <br />after Earl’s presentation – I was gonna specifically address the PTA... <br /> <br />?: Can’t hear... <br /> <br />TL: All right, then, then, I withdraw my question. <br /> <br />EC: No worries, but the main thing is we want to make sure you have the <br />information. <br /> <br />TL: OK. On the, ah, when you talk about the studies that you’ve done <br />previously, I know some of it was done on Chinaman’s Hat, ah, Mokulii, I <br />think it’s called... <br /> <br />EC: Um-hum. <br /> <br />TL: ....as I grew up it was just Chinaman’s Hat – we didn’t have a – and also <br />you did some work on Lehua – Lehua Island off of Kauai – is that correct? <br /> <br />EC: There was work done on Kauai – but I wouldn’t look at that as being one <br />of the studies building to that. There was a project trying to eradicate <br />rodents on Lehua, but when I’m thinking about the studies that support <br />this – over the years there’s been work looking at what are the risks of <br />rodenticide use to birds or what are the risks to pigs, or – so there have <br />been supporting studies looking at different things to assess risk – and I <br />look at the Lehua project as it – in a management action that was <br />attempted, um, that ultimately did not get rid of the rats but – I look at that <br />as a management action. <br /> <br />TL: Hm. Well... One of the things I noticed about that Lehua and some of the <br />other studies that have been done that I’ve had an opportunity to look at <br />things in a very cursory manner – I’m not pretending to be any sort of a <br />science study but like in Lehua, for example, they went through great <br />pains, um, to, ah, make sure that it was at the lowest – when they trapped <br /> 12 <br /> <br />
