WHITTEMORE: It was two feet. <br /> <br />TANAKA: Yes. <br /> <br />WHITTEMORE: Okay. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Commissioner Hickcox. <br /> <br />HICKCOX: Correct me, if I’m wrong, the application is asking for the granting of a permit to <br />construct a pool and spa. This spa, is this a fresh water spa? Salt water spa? <br /> <br />TANAKA: I’ll defer to the pool contractor. <br /> <br />ERENBERG: Okay, for the record, Steve Erenberg, owner of SCV Pools. It is the same water as <br />what’s used in the swimming pool. <br /> <br />HICKCOX: Okay. <br /> <br />ERENBERG: Which is, and to clarify the salt, the salt in this pool is 3,000 parts per million; the <br />salt in the ocean is 35,000 parts per million. So it doesn’t affect anything as far as. <br /> <br />HICKCOX: So the filtration system that would be used to address any kind of bacteria or buildups <br />within the spa and the pool, this would be filtered through a regular system like -? <br /> <br />ERENBERG: The system that is used on this pool would be a salt system. The salt system does <br />not have enough parts per million to contaminate landscaping or kill anything that’s anywhere near <br />or around it nor does it affect any environmental issues. The issue of using chlorine is probably <br />worse than salt because of the concentration of it. It is, as far as the salt goes, trying to think, yeah, <br />it’s, it would be a salt pool, oh, as far as the salt itself, if the sand got washed into the pool, the last <br />time we had our meeting we discussed filtration systems on swimming pools, and the majority of <br />swimming pool filter systems in Hawai‘i right now are sand filters, which is using sand to filter a <br />swimming pool. The other system would be a cartridge, which again does not have anything in it, <br />but it would not affect the pool in any way nor the chemicals. As far as contaminating swimming <br />pool water, it would probably be done by lack of chemicals, rather than filtration. Filtration is <br />going to be used to get water clarity versus keeping the algae out of the pool, then that would be <br />through use of the salt system. <br /> <br />HICKCOX: Okay, thank you. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Any more comments from the commissioners? <br /> <br />NOBRIGA: I have a question. Hurricane Iselle, did she come ashore into the yard? <br /> <br />ROBINSON: Just very little over the wall. <br /> <br />NOBRIGA: Thank you. <br /> <br />9 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
