GRAHAM:Thanks. Hi. EOFF:Hi. GRAHAM:Karen, I just wanted to ask you, we had, from the prior testifiers, we had a few specific comments like from the park service worried about the location of the beach facility, and Mr. Rothstein was worried about the management of the golf course, and Janice with regard to overnight camping, is there any particular aspect of what's there so far that you're concerned about that you want to bring to our attention, or is it more just the process which you spoke to? EOFF:I would defer to Angel, because he participated in the meetings and over the last 8-9 months has had a chance to air most of his concerns. GRAHAM:Alright. Thank you. EOFF:Thank you. GALDONES:Commissioners, any further questions? Commissioner Springer. SPRINGER:With regard to No. 3 of your concerns, when you talk about water quality, are you talking about both ocean and/or fresh water? EOFF:Okay. Yes, I can speak to that. We are planning, and hopefully it will be a collaboration with the County and the landowners, to do some baseline sampling soon in the ponds and the reef and do some work with Dave Rainey and do some reef check, what we were talking about earlier, transect and things like that. We'd like to begin some serious efforts towards, you know, on the community level and with students, how we've done ` projects in the past, including West Hawaii Exploration Academy students and other members of the community, and on the side, in our own way, to be part of that monitoring and management. I know there will be more official requirements done through the conditions on the SMA and the developer will hire people and scientists, experts to do that, too, but we encourage all of us to work together. SPRINGER:Thank you. EOFF:On those. SPRINGER:Thank you. GALDONES:Okay. Thanks. James Sogi. SOGI:Hi, good morning, my name is James Sogi, I'm the vice president of Na ``` Keiki Hee Nalu O Hawaii. I live in Hlualoa, Hawaii. 25
