study of up to three years to determine if there are health effects on Puna residents that can be linked to geothermal energy development that will focus on effects on central nervous system, respiratory and anxiety disorder symptom functions. The Windward Planning Commission, at its September 4, 2014 meeting, awarded an amount of $750,000 from the Geothermal Asset Fund for this study subject to the Mayor's Office seeking additional input from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with annual reports to the Windward Planning Commission on the status of the Request for Proposal (RFP). This current claim seeks additional funding beyond the awarded $750,000 to conduct this study based on responses to the RFP.
