are doing is to have some change to operations, essentially just the site. So this is something that in my write-up I did explain including the Office of Environmental Quality Control, and we ar or the department is authorized to make that kind of exemption f Madam Chair, Id like to ask Mr. Whelan to comment briefly on th operations as relates to the rock production. GIFFIN: Yes, by all means. WHELAN: We heard a comment earlier about the volume that we are existing operations, which have been ongoing for some 17 years, lava flow, which means its all rock. We go in there and excavat So when we process some of that rock for daily cover, we also pr landfill cells as a part of engineering process to develop those designed to haul rubbish, there is excess material thats left o facility. What we are asking to do is to be able to sell off tha forward, we will continue to make landfill space available, as i islands refuse on the leeward side. But we are not looking to e landfill; all we are doing is as we create cells, we have to hav material that is not used for either daily cover or future landf process that is already ongoing. We are just looking for your ap material and sell it off. GIFFIN: Commissioners? Commissioner Bowman. You are inching towa BOWMAN: I wish I was more astute on landfill operations. So when excavating cells, thats basically like a puka to put the -. WHELAN: Yeah, when we start off a particular cell.

W are creating a new cell, we have to also take some of the rock t process it, which we do now, and make that as bedding for this l the landfill when the individual cells are full. When we do that hole in the ground and we filled it with garbage, the amount tha back in, so it creates an excess. The first five years that we w and made the visual barriers and the roadways and infrastructure that amount of time, since then weve been stockpiling this mate point where the landfill itself is probably 40 percent or so ful with garbage, the less storage space weve got to put the excess point in time where we are coming before you to say we have all
