that, gee, Discovery Harbor is two miles down the road, they couldnt possibly have a
<br />problem with this. I dont know, has anybody taken any test samples two miles down the
<br />road to see what it looked like, if its within environmental limits? Is there an
<br />environmental study that details this, the toxicology of this thing, and what it can cause?
<br />Or how about the cattle that graze closer to this particular environment, are they affected?
<br />You know, I dont know what type of equipment he plans on putting in there. Cause I
<br />havent, this is the first one of these that Ive been to, so I dont know if he even
<br />discussed that with you folks, if they use scrubbers. Okay? They claim things are being
<br />gouged out rather than being put in the air. Again, I dont know, thats why Im asking.
<br />Hopefully, the next time Im going to be a little more prepared than I am right now, but
<br />its -. Anyway, to the best of my knowledge, being down wind from something that is
<br />continually producing bad air in pure air or whatever, eventually can lead to harm, unless
<br />there are a lot of steps taken to prevent that. And what Im hopeful for is that you folks
<br />askforthosestepstobetakenbeforeyouvoteonthistomakesurethatthepeoplethat
<br />are living down there, which are increasing by quite a bit, weve got about 17 homes
<br />under construction right now. And thats, its going up, every month, theres new
<br />building going on; and thats just in our subdivision. And with Hawaiian Home Lands
<br />building out there, its going to be even a greater population problem. Okay? Theres
<br />going to be increase in traffic, theres no doubt about it. In putting these huge trucks in
<br />there, moving matter around in there is going to make a larger problem, not a smaller
<br />one. Thank you.
<br />SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Morschl. Are there any questions from the
<br />Commissioners for the testifier? Commissioner Graham?
<br />GRAHAM:I guess maybe a question I just thought after the Planning
<br />Commissions prior, excuse me, the Planning Directors prior comment about the two
<br />miles and all that, I think somebody who does not know the area well, like myself, two
<br />miles sounds like a long ways. However, you know, Im impressed that you guys came a
<br />long ways to talk about this. So youre not going to be coming a long ways if theres
<br />nothing there, thats, announced anything -. The only thing I can think of in a
<br />comparable thing is like up where I live like in Waimea where theres a whole concrete
<br />plant there, the West Hawaii Concrete, and I would guess thats roughly about two miles
<br />upwind from the road that runs from Waimea to Kona on the mauka side. And, you
<br />know, I can see some good plumes coming from that West Hawaii Concrete, but I cant
<br />say I really felt the effects of it all out on the highway. So I dont have any concluding
<br />sense to what Im saying here. Im just sort of trying to bring up these issues as I see
<br />them and maybe if somebody does know the area real well wed be looking at that, kind
<br />of like that, just for your consideration. Thank you.
<br />SPRINGER:Mr. Morschl?
<br />MORSCHL:May I respond? The grade that its on, you can see that the quarry
<br />that theyre going to build, you can see that from our subdivision because its all
<br />downhill. Whatever plumes come up, whatever dust comes up, were going to get
<br />10
