And that's it, I will stop there, and if you guys have any questions on the things I <br /> mentioned or questions, on the activities and responsibilities of my division go for it. <br /> ?? (Public person asking question. He did not state his name). So, I have a question...it might <br /> be related...how safe is the Wailoa basin? Question...it might be related...how safe is the <br /> Wailoa basin? <br /> RO: On the water itself...So I'm not an expert on this, I'll just share, what I hear, what I know <br /> and what I think...From what I understand you know there is a lot of history in that space. <br /> Like that space was a space of abundance, plenty fish, plenty kalo, growing down there, <br /> but after a time period it was heavily industrialized. A lot of people used to live there <br /> and stuff like that. People have found arsenic, one of the main things I hear about... and <br /> from what I understand the arsenic is still there, but it's buried, it's kind of buried and I <br /> think there has been studies done on fish, you know. It all depends on I don't know the <br /> exact numbers, if you eat too much you might get sick...arsenic if you don't eat too much, <br /> like I said I don't know the numbers. Should be safe... That's what I understand, maybe <br /> you can share, but I don't know... <br /> ?? (Public person speaking.) I just know stories, at one time they used to tell us stories that <br /> those waters are polluted, so don't eat the fish from there. I was just wondering how bad <br /> it has migrated into the bay and down Keaukaha way, because the current goes that way <br /> and has the State done anything to remedy it? <br /> RO: Yeah...That's a challenge when you look at a legacy challenge like that...like a legacy <br /> problem...you know, it's been that age of misuse, mismanagement that puts us were we <br /> are at. So, solution is going to be super challenging. When I think about that space and <br /> you think about arsenic, you could probably dredge it, but could that cause more harm <br /> than good? I mean, I don't know. I don't know...I eat the fish in that space... I don't eat a <br /> lot, but we catch mullet sometimes we catch too much to eradicate them...we eat some... <br /> ?? (Public Person speaking). Plus,you get the drainage from up there that keeps adding more <br /> junk and there should be some entity in the State that can try to address this, I mean long <br /> term. <br /> RO: Yeah... <br /> ?? I don't mean to...inaudible, I mean into the future you know.... <br /> RO: So, like again like I mentioned early talking about water, quantity issues, water quality <br /> falls under the Department of Health... inaudible.... we're interested in that... it's about <br /> the fish and the fisherman. The fisherman are the primary stakeholders, and we got to <br /> 26 <br />
