RD: Chair, Duerr, District – 1, I have a question. Maurice – DOT evidently had a failure with <br />the vendor on releasing lead into soil – is that correct? <br /> <br />MM: I’m not sure. You’d have to speak to DOT, on that one. <br /> <br />RD: OK, so, as far as you know DOT has not come to you with lead being a problem in the <br />soil? <br /> <br />MM: Yeah, no, there is a problem with lead in the soil so, we’re in a lot of communication <br />with Harry Takiue and Rob Lee, both who head the DOT for our island and it’s the same <br />thing at Kolekole Beach Park, no, the lead has not been remediated from the soil so <br />what we did is we worked with the Department of Health and DOT and identified the <br />areas which were dangerous to the public and those high levels is what we fenced off <br /> <br />RD: Right. <br /> <br />MM: … so it’s the same thing at Hakalau. Those areas are fenced off ‘cause it may be three, <br />four, five years before they can actually do their slow remediation. So, all we want to do <br />is fence off those bad areas and re-open it to the public with proper signage. <br /> <br />RD: So, Maurice, this is Duerr, District – 1, is our understanding that in fact the soil got there <br />because DOT had a vendor working on bridges? Is that your understanding? <br /> <br />MM: I’m not sure, I don’t want to speak without understanding. <br /> <br />RD: OK. Great. Thank you very much. <br /> <br />MM: You’re welcome. <br /> <br />LT: No questions? Any more questions on Zoom? OK, I think that that’s the end. Thank you, <br />Maurice, for this presentation, it really gave me an insight and scope, about the next <br />two months coming up with all of the boat ramps opening up and everybody getting to <br />go fishing again and I thank you so much. <br /> <br />MM: You’re welcome. Thank you and you guys all have a good day. Aloha. <br /> <br />b. Jason Sanborn, East Hawaii Representative, State of Hawaii Game Management <br />Advisory Commission East Hawaii Representative to present: “State GMAC updates.” <br /> <br />JS: Aloha, Jason Sanborn, State GMAC commissioner. We had our first meeting last month – <br />first in almost two years, actually, a year and a half or so – long time – so a lot of it was <br />talking and planning our future meetings, um, so, I had asked them about some stuff <br />that some people’s been asking me but, ah, \[unclear\] task force \[unclear\] probably in <br />Puuanahulu, ah, Daniel K. Inouye area – that was asked \[unclear\] I brought it up to Jason <br />14 <br /> <br /> <br />
