MOOERS:Im not aware if they are or not, no. ALAMEDA:Thank you, Commissioner Domingo. On this side? Commissioner Rho? RHO:I have a question for Mr. Lim. You mentioned that there was no trigger for the EIS; the Director didnt trigger it, either. Then you mentioned this Great Wall of Kuakini. LIM:Thats correct. RHO:Which is not on the Historical Register, either State or Federal. LIM:Thats correct. RHO:And I guess my question really is whether or not -. If it was on, letssay,theFederalRegister,wouldthatautomaticallytriggeranEIS? LIM:Notnecessarily.ButthatisoneofthetriggersontheChapter343 placement on the National Register. RHO:How about if it was just on the State Register? LIM:Either/or. RHO:Either/or. How about if it was on both? The tendency would be that it would trigger it? LIM:I think if its on one or the other, its a trigger. RHO:And if it was on both, would you agree that it would be a more substantial reason for having an EIS? LIM:I dont know the answer to the question. RHO:Okay. On the second page of this handout, it talks about, as a note, it says under National Register and E after the date indicates those sites that were determined eligible for the National Register but have not been formally put on the Register. So I guess my concern is that its eligible and Im not sure what the definition of eligible is. Is it just a formality that if somebody submits a document and reasoning for, and it just gets adopted or placed on the Register? Do you have any idea how the process works? LIM:I can only tell you what one process was that I was familiar with where it had an E on it. On the State Register my understanding is that requires fee owner authorization to be on the Register, and on the National Register it does not. And in the particular case I was working on, a third party put it on the National Register without the fee owners authorization. So I dont think it necessarily makes a decision that it is significant 23EXHIBIT C
