into the market place. Now, if I knew it was fair and it was unp <br />buddy here went and processed it, I know what I’m up against. Bu <br />figured it out, they have several steps to go. They can’t answer <br />profit margin? I can’t believe they don’t know what their propos <br />they want to do it. I can guarantee you, he will know. So -. <br />GIFFIN: Mr. Balog, we need to move along, as you know. <br />BALOG: Thank you. <br />GIFFIN: Thank you very much. Mr. Macy? <br />MACY: Yes. I believe all you have a copy of my testimony. I’m so <br />there, Madam Chair. <br />GIFFIN: That’s all right. <br />MACY: Okay, for the sake of time, I’m just going to read my test <br />Madam Chair and the other members of the Commission and the Coun <br />me the time to testify on the amendment to Special Permit No. 80 <br />I’m testifying as a quarry operator. And my concern is that if t <br />the aggregate market place, I see a potential problem for the qu <br />Big Island, for all the quarry operators. Now, if understand thi <br />and the landfill operator, and Big Island taxpayers, of course, <br />operator to strip overburden, drill and shoot rock, remove the p <br />the material in an accessible area. And I know from many years o <br />we run the numbers on this, this is pretty much doing this work <br />cost of producing a finished aggregate. Now, finished aggregate, <br />asphalt product, so just getting it in the stockpile in the dril <br />of the total cost of producing the finished aggregate. Now, the <br />cost in it whereas the quarry operators will have this inherent <br />existing quarries or any quarries that may want to open in the f <br />disadvantage. Our first choice would be that the County of Hawai <br />compete with the local aggregate producers and you continue to d <br />you’ve done since the opening of the landfill. One possibility t <br />that maybe the County of Hawai‘i use this product for their own <br />site preparation or things like that, that’s only for their purp <br />the local quarry operators. And, you know, we have no one to sub <br />fairness issue, if the County does decide to compete with us, th <br />decide to compete with us. So I’m requesting you do not allow th <br />Thank you. <br />GIFFIN: You’re welcome. Commissioners, any questions of Mr. Macy <br />very much -. <br />BOWMAN: I do have a question. <br />GIFFIN: I’m sorry. Commissioner Bowman. <br /> <br />
