RECHTMAN:That was flat and paved on top. And, in that case, we put a one by one meter test unit in the top of that, removing the rocks. TOGASHI:I see. You also did some test excavations in San Clemen RECHTMAN:Yes. TOGASHI:According to your credentials that you listed. Was that confined to just a single one by one meter test excavation? RECHTMAN:No, in that case, the sites were extremely different an TOGASHI:So you're saying that the topography of the land, soil conditions, dictate the amount of testing that you do. RECHTMAN:Yes. TOGASHI:There has been some testimony offered, I've forgotten by but, as to the possibility of conducting excavations and should this, let's say, should this project be approved. And what the developer wants to do is he would want to excavate part of the property; and to do that, he would have to get a hoe ram or a D-8. In your opinion, do you foresee any destruction to the residence enclosure in the, on the Keakealaniwahine complex from the vibrations that the hoe ram or D-8 could do? RECHTMAN:I don't have enough experience or knowledge to answer that. I know that I just used a hoe ram in my yard, and all the dry stack walls that I made didn't fall apart. But I, but beyond that, a big giant machine like that, I don't know. TOGASHI:You have to argue as to what effect that would have on the nearby archaeological site what it would be. I'll yield the floor for now. I do have some other questions listed here, but for the life of me, I can't remember what I was trying to ask. GIFFIN:I don't know if this would help clarify it for you, Mr. Togashi, but I think the discussion that you were just referring to was with the testimony of Ms. Yent. TOGASHI:I'm not sure the, on the subject matter of the hoe ram as to which testimony it occurred in, but I do remember -. GIFFIN:Yeah. TOGASHI:Many questions regarding the use of that equipment. GIFFIN:Yeah. Right. And I think it was brought up as a question from one of the Intervenors, but I'm not sure. 25
