GRAHAM:Does that just mean the cinders primarily used like for fill, forgetting the proper ground elevations and things like that as well as for the golf course when youre building a new course and you want to use it under the fairways or something? BALOG:Theres several different uses. When you excavate the raw material, we size the material and anything that isnt grated that can be used on a golf course fairway, which grows grasses or used as a landscape material. Like nursery people use to pot their plants and what not. That gets stored and then when theres projects that come up that require fill we take the larger material that hasnt been processed and sell that for fill so-. We sell material to fill lots and the bulk, the rest of the material gets sold as a planting material for either a grass or nurseries, trees, mac nut trees and palm trees. But we dont sell any of that for road base. Its a limited resource that needs to be used, because of where it is and how much you have available for that type of operations. So the majority is sold really to get peoples yards or fairways planted out. GRAHAM:Thank you very much for taking the time to explain. SPRINGER:Commissioners other questions? I have a question at, in December 11, 2010willthiscompletelyexcavatethehillorwilltherebearemainder? LIM:Theareaofexcavationasyoucanseefromthestaffexhibithasthusfar been in that yellow area. And that is the area immediately to the south of the puu. So as youre coming down Waikoloa Drive and as you look to the left to the puu, youll continue to see the puu and that face, the north face of the puu will be preserved. We have a site restoration plan as part of the requirements from this special permit that will require us to level out the benches. When they initially through Waikoloa Development or others when they previously quarried the backside of the puu they benched it. And these are relatively severe benches of 60 or 80 feet in height. And so what well be having to do in our restoration plan is to grade from outside of this special permit area at the top of the puu and basically push it down and slope it down so that south side of the puu after the restoration is done should look very similar to the north side of the puu. The area that were coming in for 1, what we call 1-B is off and behind the puu at this point in time. So, I think that the current operations have pretty much exhausted the material thats going to be taken from the puu at this time. Is that correct? BALOG:Yeah. LIM:Yeah. SPRINGER:Thank you. Other Commissioners any questions? I see that there is no one from the public that has signed up to testify on this matter so were ready to go into decision making. Commissioners if we may have a motion. Commissioner Salavea? SALAVEA:I move that the application for special permit docket number SP 70-85 to extend-. Sorry maybe I should re-word that. To extend Special Permit number 70-85 to be EXHIBIT C 4
