Mr. Dennis Lin, Chairperson and Members of the Windward Planning Commission Page 9 of 9 June 27, 2022 • Establish slope protection as soon as possible to promote natural vegetation growth and increase perimeter vegetation buffer; • Maintain on-site travel routes to minimize dust and runoff; • On-site dust will be monitored by Yamada and Sons, Inc. supervisory personnel and dust suppression measures will be implemented as needed; • A stabilized construction entrance/exit will be installed and maintained to help eliminate vehicle tracking from the license area onto Ho`olaulima Road; • All quarry-related traffic between the license area and processing facility will be limited to one haul route via Ho`olaulima Road; • The haul route will also be monitored by Yamada and Sons, Inc. supervisory personnel. If their haul vehicles track shoulder material onto Ho`olaulima Road, they can deploy our water truck(s) and/or pavement sweeper(s) equipped with dust suppression systems to clean off the haul route as needed; and • No rock crushing will be conducted within the quarry site. Thank you for the opportunity to provide an update on the collective efforts of the Applicant, KPFA and DHHL to ensure that approval of this Special Permit request is found to be an unusual and reasonable use of agricultural land that will not be contrary to the objectives sought to be accomplished by the State Land Use Law and Regulations. We collectively hope for a favorable recommendation of this request from the Windward Planning Commission, and we thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration.
