<br />
<br />JENSEN: From my experience in Waimea, right, I’m using my Waimea experience, because my

<br />they can smell it, faintly, but they can smell it.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: I see.

<br />neighbor and ask him, and said, “Well, I’m inhaling your smoke, I don’t mind that, but if you could
<br />take the trash and compost it, I don’t have any issue.” But he says, he told me at that time, he says,
<br />“So you want me to go in there, pick up all the rocks and everything else?” I said, “Well, you put it
<br />in there, I guess you can take it out.”
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Thank you.
<br />
<br />JENSEN: And if, and then, but the thing about this is it’s just the debris; you can compost it, you
<br />can put into plants, and stuff like that. And it’s part of the culture you cleaning up the mess, right?
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Mr. Jensen, thank you very much. Commissioners, do you have any other questions?
<br />Thank you. I’m going to ask the applicant to come back up and address some of your concerns.
<br />Bill? Norman? Whoever feels they can, go ahead and answer the concerns of Mr. Jensen.
