rules came into effect. So now any new uses have to do subsurface drip irrigation. And it is a technical problem with the subsurface drip irrigation when you don’t have R-2 effluent that’s being treated well, they don’t screen it out really well. What happens is that it gets stuck in the holes, and that’s why we have these caveats about having adequate waste water coming out of the plant. But the regulations as we understand them allow subsurface and that at most we’d have to put up are warning signs in areas that there are residential uses nearby. If they have spray I think it’s something like 500 feet away from any residential uses. YUEN: So some of the water is, if some of the water is used on the golf course the current, the, no -. I’m seeing Tom Nance behind saying, shaking his head no. LIM: Yeah, Mr. Nance is the best to answer that. YUEN: Okay. LIM: He is the Hawaiian American Water consultant and so he’ll be able to tell us that. YUEN: Yeah, if we’d bring him up I have a couple of questions along the same -. WATANABE: Mr. Nance? YUEN: Yeah, Tom Nance. WOODWARD: Mr. Chairman? WATANABE: Give me a second. Mr. Nance, may I swear you in before you provide testimony. Would you raise your right hand, please. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Planning Commission? NANCE: Yes, I do. WATANABE: Okay. And then before you respond to any of the questions could you state again your name and address for the record. NANCE: Name is Tom Nance. Address is 680 Ala Moana Boulevard, Suite 406, Honolulu 96813. WATANABE: Thank you. So would you care to rephrase the question? YUEN: Yes. So is any of the current effluent from the Mauna Lani waste water treatment plant used on the golf courses? NANCE: No. In the earliest years of the golf course it was, but it probably hasn’t been for the last ten years. It’s being used in a nursery area instead. EXHIBIT C 16
