ALAMEDA: I have a question. <br />WATANABE: Yes, Mr. Alameda. <br />ALAMEDA: I just wanted to, so you are representing yourself in this? <br />WILLE: Yeah. I’m here actually for the six o’clock program, but I came early; I <br />wanted to see because of my interest in Puako. <br />ALAMEDA: Okay. <br />WATANABE: Okay. Thank you for your testimony. You all may be seated. Before I <br />call up the applicants and their representatives, I’d like to ask Mr. Yuen if you are agreeable to <br />the proposed conditions as revised by the applicant inclusive of the additional two revisions that <br />he had mentioned, which referred to the irrigating the golf course with effluent and the Puako <br />emergency access route. <br />YUEN: Well, I’m agreeable to all the ones we received in writing and the one <br />about the emergency access route. I do have a couple of questions about the irrigation, though. <br />WATANABE: Then maybe we should have Mr. Lim and the applicant come up, please, <br />so you could respond to those. <br />WOODWARD: Mr. Chairman? <br />WATANABE: Yes, Mr. Woodward. <br />WOODWARD: If I might make a comment. My parents lived in Southern California; and <br />all of the golf courses in Southern California are irrigated with what they call gray water, which <br />is essentially effluent. And I don’t think it’s technically a problem. The only technical problem <br />is finding the right kind of sprinkler heads and emitters if you’re going to have an underground <br />system. So I think that’s something that can certainly be dealt with because the whole, all of <br />Southern California, the golf courses are irrigated that way. So the technology certainly exists. <br />WATANABE: Thank you. Oh, Mr. Yuen. <br />YUEN: Yeah. My question has to do with the R-2 standard and how you are <br />going to irrigate. Because my understanding is that, and I don’t have them in my head, but there <br />are Department of Health regulations, of course, on the use of R-2 water which is not as treated <br />as the R-1 water which limit the kinds of irrigation you can do with it around people. So if you, <br />and I just want to make sure that we’re not putting in something here that can’t actually be <br />implemented. . <br />LIM: You are correct. The R-2 requires what we call subsurface drip irrigation <br />so you can’t spray it. I mean they do spray it at Mauna Lani but that’s all pre-existing before the <br />EXHIBIT C <br />15 <br /> <br />
