B. GRAHAM:Whats the vegetation like between the quarry and your place? SCHULZ:Just brush. B. GRAHAM:Low brush? SCHULZ:Yes, what you callit the Christmas berries, in between us. B. GRAHAM:Okay. Thank you. SPRINGER:Thank you, sir. Mr. Graham? R. GRAHAM:Thank you. I moved to Ka u approximately in 1993 and I didnt envision a quarry in my back yard. We have a problem with stagnant air sometimes that ithitsusdowntherewithoutthewinds.AsyouknowKa uisknownastheareaofthe makanis that has the wind. This is something like two miles from our house that would directly, I can look down over to this to the left and it would be blowing right into my front deck. Also, theres a health factor along with the noise factor. Along with the fact here that also my grandfather in California was a homesteader before that had a lease on a quarry that he leased out as a quarry. He was upset at the fact at the time that there was quite a noise pollution, people moved into that area, and he had to have the thing shut down to these people. So I know only too well what a quarry will present. If there was a quarry to begin with in the area, I know I wouldnt have moved there, along with a lot of other people. For one thing its an eyesore and its a detriment to peoples health. Thank you so much. SPRINGER:Youre welcome. Commissioners, any questions or comments? I have a question for you, Mr. Graham. R. GRAHAM:Sure. SPRINGER:It has been indicated in the Background Report that there was a quarry operating here previously. Were you aware of that at all when -? R. GRAHAM:It wasnt in operation at the time when Ive been there. I dont know how long back -. SPRINGER:I think 1992 is what our Background Report says. R. GRAHAM:I came in 1993 to this place, since I -. SPRINGER:Thank you, sir. R. GRAHAM:Thank you. SPRINGER:Mr. Soares? 5
