other sea life from degradation of water quality. This seemed to be a concern shared by the ` gatherers of salt, gatherers of limu and opihi, fishermen, and surfers, as well as dive boat operators in a multi-million dollar industry. There are three questions that I want to consider today, and for each of them I have conditions associated with them that I'd like to propose. The first question is what specific water monitoring needs to be planned and budgeted by the developer? The second question is should the developer be required to employ non-toxic methods of protecting against subterranean termites? The third question is will the planned integrated golf course management process suffice to keep our waters from being degraded? In terms of the water monitoring needs, I'd like to address water monitoring needs first. Yesterday, in Judge Ibarra's court, that's why it was 2:00 in the morning to finish this, I listened to discussions of the August 13 th report of Karen Klein and Dr. David Ziemann, water quality monitors for Hklia. I suggest that this monitoring procedure be adopted for Kohanaiki. It is as follows, and there are four parts to it. The court required Hklia to do a pre-construction baseline study of four quarterly samplings to consist of three days within 14 days. These must be "dry-season" samplings so that the rain can be less likely to confuse the result. The second thing is that once construction begins, the same quarterly samples as pre- construction. Again, dry-season samplings. The third thing is groundwater sampling makai of the golf course and mauka of the shoreline, that is to say within the public park, and also near the highway. So, as Dr. Brock said, you can figure out what's going in, what's coming out and isolate them. And correlation studies need to be done for each report between sampling events and fertilization and/or irrigation. This is a fairly extensive set of monitoring requirements. It's not cheap, and it goes on for some time, and so I think the developer needs to plan and budget these tests up front and make the results available to the Department of Health, other agencies, and perhaps some individual or group nominated by the kpuna of the working committee. The second thing I'd like to address, I respectfully request that the monitoring procedures be adopted as a condition of the SMA permit. 35
