2. Traffic <br /> As previously mentioned, transport of excavated raw rock material to the Applicant's <br /> baseyard facilities will be via Hoolaulima Road between the Project Site and its baseyard <br /> facilities. About 4 to 5 rock-hauling trucks, or 8 to 10 tractor trailers will be making <br /> about three (3) trips per hour. Quarry-related traffic along Hoolaulima Road is not <br /> expected to significantly increase since the proposed quarry will simply be replacing the <br /> Applicant's existing and adjacent quarry that has practically exhausted its rock resource. <br /> Therefore, it is expected that that same rock-transport trucks will be used at the same <br /> frequency of travel as it currently exists. <br /> Once a new access road serving the Project Site and nearby County facilities is created <br /> transferred to the County, quarry-related traffic will be restricted to street-legal vehicles <br /> only, roughly doubling the vehicle trips between the proposed quarry and nearby <br /> processing yard. However, overall vehicle trips along any new access to this project area <br /> is not expected to increase significantly due to the anticipated reduction in overall <br /> vehicle trips due to the recent closure of the South Hilo Sanitary Landfill. The Applicant <br /> will continue to coordinate with the County regarding the shared use of Hoolaulima <br /> Road and any new access road, as it has done for many years. <br /> 3. Water <br /> County water service is not needed at the Project Site. Water for dust suppression will <br /> either be trucked to the Project Site or an on-site water catchment system will be <br /> installed. <br /> 4. Wastewater <br /> Portable toilet facilities will be provided within the Project Site for employee use. <br /> 5. Solid Waste <br /> Any solid waste generated by the proposed quarry operations, such as disposal of <br /> greenwaste, will be conveniently disposed of at the nearby County solid waste disposal <br /> facilities located along Hoolaulima Road. Abandoned man-made material within the <br /> Project Site will be removed and properly disposed of within the nearby County solid <br /> waste facilities. <br /> 6. Essential Utilities and Services <br /> Typical utilities, such as electrical and telephone services, are not necessary or required <br /> to support the proposed quarry and stockpile operations within the Project Site. <br /> 7. Public Safety <br /> As the Project Site is located within the City of Hilo, police, medical and fire services are <br /> readily available. <br /> 12 age <br />
