Our next applicant is Edwin Deluz Trucking and Gravel, LLC. They are requesting a time extension for Condition 5, which requires the submittal of a soils report for the Pu‘u Hina‘i. The area of this application is located just above Waikoloa Village. This is in the South Kohala District. More specifically, we are looking at the black- outlined property. The property itself is approximately 1,700 acres. The permit area is approximately 60 acres. This is a closer-up view. The colors on the map represent the different zoning for the area; the lighter green represents Agricultural-5 acres, the outer perimeters represent Open zoning on the dark green, and then the orange zoning represents Residential Agricultural-1 acre. This is an overview of the USGS map, again showing Pu‘u Hina‘i on the west side of the property. This is an aerial photo, basically showing the pu‘u in this area and the mined area in this area. Again, we are looking towards the north. Waikoloa Village is just to the northwest. 1 EXHIBIT C
