of there from opai to mullet, to opihis, and everything; and itÓs just too hard to do. And, so, I would like to advocate for vehicular access in both areas. And since 1986, personally, I know people do go out there and fish, camp, both sides. And thatÓs what theyÓve always been doing. And so if could get the gate open in Hakalau, that would be good. And Pepeekeo Point side, as long as they could just, I mean, IÓm not asking them to improve the road, just to leave it open so people can get in there from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and do the permit process through Pepeekeo Association for overnight camping. I mean, the people I know in the group that IÓm with are more than willing to do a permit process. ThatÓs all. Any questions? GALDONES:Thank you, Ms. Keomalu. Commissioner Springer? SPRINGER:I just have a question for the Director. Since Hakalau has been mentioned by a couple of testifiers, is there any guidance we can offer them as to where they should submit their comments? YUEN:Hakalau is not a part of this application. The gate at Hakalau was put up by Steven Wolf, who owns some of the property down there. connection, the most direct connection I think between Hakalau and this application is that at one time Jere Henderson, who is one of the principals of Continental Pacific, who is the Applicant here, had the Hakalau mill site under contract from C. Brewer. The last I heard is that heÓs not going to buy the Hakalau mill site, so that -. IÓm working on Hakalau. I think Mike knows that; and there had been some ups and downs. IÓm trying to restore, I mean, the goal is to restore vehicular access to Hakalau because it was a very popular place for people to drive down. YouÓd see people there all the time. And itÓs one of the few places along the Hamakua Coast where people can get in and out of the water safely and enjoy the ocean. So IÓve been working on it for a while. I donÓt want to, itÓs not the subject here at this meeting so I donÓt want to go into it blow-by-blow. IÓm still working on some -. I hope that we can get vehicular access restored, though; and that is a project that I am working on apart from, separate from this appl SPRINGER:Thank you. KEOMALU:IÓd like to make an amendment to my minutes, and I reall pronounce the name of the stream that IÓm talking about in Hakalau. Mike, if you could, he did it on the video. What is the name of that stream, Mike, to my minutes. STASZKOW:I forget. I didnÓt bring it with me. KEOMALU:Waioau-something. It was in the newspaper article. I canÓt pronounce it. But thatÓs the name of the stream in question. T like to add into the amendment. If it was filed under a different name, it was filed in the application process under a different name instead of using Hakalau mill. IÓd like to amend it to the proper name for the area. 27
