BAIL:We fully support the proposed amendment. <br />GRAHAM:Thank you, Ms. Bail. I would just comment on my own that I also <br />much appreciate your offering your letter, Mr. Yuen. On the third page when you speak of the <br />additional golf course perhaps being a mitigative measure because it increases the area available <br />to be irrigated with the sewage effluent and all, that seems kind of reasonable to me when I listen <br />to that. When I look at whats going on at Waikoloa now, I can see there is a lot more <br />development in place, so there is going to be a lot more sewage generated. Could you tell me <br />what happens to the sewage currently thats not being distributed on the golf course? <br />BAIL:I can do my best to describe it for you. <br />GRAHAM:Thank you, Ms. Bail. <br />BAIL:ThesewagefromtheentireWaikoloaResortareaispumpedtothe <br />sewage treatment plant thats on the other side € the mauka side € of the Queen K. Highway. <br />There its treated to standards specified under their permit from the Department of Health. It is <br />then either piped back under the Highway and used on the existing golf courses; and to the extent <br />there is not a need for that, for example if there are very heavy rainfall conditions such that the <br />soil on the golf courses is already saturated, there is an underground injection control well thats <br />been installed, and thats a deep underground injection of the treated wastewater effluent. And <br />the underground injection control well holds a permit from the Department of Health for that <br />injection at the times that it is needed. <br />GRAHAM:All right, thank you. I think that answers my question. So <br />essentially as the resort develops, there is going to be a lot more sewage developed. And the <br />question is if there is more sewage developed than what the existing golf course needs or is <br />appropriate for, then that gets injected. So another golf course gives another alternative to <br />distribute the sewage over the other golf courses at appropriate levels of concentration, so that <br />the plant material gets a chance out of it before it gets injected into the groundwater. <br />W. YUEN:Thats right. <br />GRAHAM:Is that correct, Mr. Yuen? <br />W. YUEN:Thats correct. <br />GRAHAM:Thank you. Commissioner Siracusa? <br />SIRACUSA:Yes. Im glad you just clarified that, because I was not under the <br />impression from reading everything that the sewage we were talking about was treated sewage. <br />Thank you. <br />GRAHAM:Any other questions from Commissioners? Commissioner Rho? <br />RHO:Im on Page 2 of -, I think its your letter. Its No. 14, and its <br />underlined -. I guess the changes that you are proposing are underlined. Is that how to read it? <br />7EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
