RAGGETT:No scrubbers. <br />NAKAKURA:No scrubbers. <br />GALDONES:There’s no filtration system for the stacks? You mentioned the <br />other counties have certain regulations. Can you repeat that again? What was that all <br />about? <br />NAKAKURA:Sure. I said that San Rafael County, San Diego County, Los <br />Angeles County have adopted guidelines that limit crematories to industrial areas that are <br />500 to, anywhere from 500 to 600 feet away from the nearest residence. <br />GALDONES:Okay. Thank you. <br />WATANABE:Any other questions? I guess not. Thank you. Oh. <br />YUEN:Mr. Nakakura, did you ever complain to the manufacturer or the <br />person that you bought the machine from about the emission of ash, the constant <br />emission of ash that you’re discussing? <br />NAKAKURA:What kind of ash I’m -. Well, I would say, no. It’s minimal, not to <br />the point where I would, you know, when I open my door outside, my car door, I’ll see a <br />layer of ash; and when I look in the parking lot, I might see some ashes swirling around <br />the parking lot. I’ve not called them because I’m one of those people who try to, you <br />know, work it out and, also, I’m sure Sam, too. I mean, we’ve been trained properly, you <br />know, trained on our machines. The manufacturer came down, trained us, and we were <br />certified to do the cremations. So, no. <br />YUEN:The machine does not, you know, you came here, applied for a <br />Special Use Permit to install your crematorium and represented to the Commission, <br />odorless, no emissions, no offensive emissions whatsoever. Now, you’re explaining and <br />you’re not the only building, you’re not the only user in the building, right? There are <br />other cars that park in front of your building? <br />NAKAKURA:Well, our building has six bays, four are used for storage and one <br />is the Kona Lua Portable Potty people. So there’s not a lot of vehicles that come into our <br />area. <br />YUEN:Okay. But, at any rate, your equipment is not working as you <br />represented to the Commission here and you’ve taken no effort to get advice from the <br />manufacturer or inquire of the manufacturer or the person that you bought it from how to <br />improve the performance? <br />NAKAKURA:I guess ‘cause we don’t get any complaints regarding it and we <br />were just taught that way; and the way we were taught is the same way it has been <br />performing. <br />EXHIBIT D <br />25 <br /> <br />
