the past probably two years, on the Queen K Highway road extension with several contractors, and <br />the contractor that was awarded the contract. When we bid, we were bidding to sell fill material. <br />There is a lot of fill material that’s going to be required, and this was a site that – probably you are <br />wondering why we’ve been asking for an extension – that was used, that we could use to sell fill <br />material for the widening of Queen K. So it doesn’t have the black and red cinder, is really not a <br />concern. And the other part, just so you, to be upfront and honest about it, is our company actually <br />has a mine, a surface mine, similar to this, not with a larger cinder cone, on Parker Ranch property <br />and -. <br />BOWMAN: A mine that mines black and red cinder? Sorry. <br />BALOG: Yes. <br />BOWMAN: Okay, so this would be fill, this would not be cinder, this would be fill. <br />BALOG: No. And I think another question from the testifier was, she asked about creating a new <br />pit. Actually, when the permit was granted for the extension last time, we already said that – when <br />it showed that satellite view and I showed you where we would be mining – that was an area that <br />we said that we would already mine, and we have actually taken some fill material out of that area -. <br />BOWMAN: It looks like it. <br />BALOG: During the last time extension. <br />BOWMAN: Thank you. <br />HOUSEL: Any other questions, Commissioners, of the applicants? Would someone like to make a <br />motion? <br />BOWMAN: I would just like to make a comment. I thank the testifier. And I realize that, you <br />know, the pu‘u is pretty well denigrated, and I’m glad to see nothing else will happen. Maybe 30 <br />years ago was the time when it should have been brought up. <br />With that been said, I move that we send a favorable recommendation for Special Permit No. 70-85 <br />to the State Land Use Commission based on the Director’s recommendations and conditions. <br />HOUSEL: Motion from Commissioner Bowman. Do we have a second? <br />NELSON: Second. <br />HOUSEL: Seconded by Commissioner Nelson. Any discussion? Mr. Darrow, would you like to <br />take the roll, please? <br />DARROW: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The motion before us is to send a favorable <br />recommendation to the State Land Use Commission. With that, I’ll take the roll. Commissioner <br />Bowman? <br />BOWMAN: Aye. <br />9 <br />EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
