CLARKSON: The reason I was asking for the super—you know, the map, it appears to me and <br />I'm still trying to clarify that the proposed wastewater treatment facility, the proposed <br />constructed wetland or aerated lagoon secondary treatment is in the floodway. <br />YEH: And maybe our engineer can explain that, but let me <br />CLARKSON: —Okay, okay. <br />YEH: —Let me, let me do that as best as I can, and Yen, if I'm incorrect, let me know. <br />Basically, what the concept is, you know, you have an existing floodway in a certain location <br />now. To accommodate that facility and its related improvements, what happens is there's going <br />to be some redesign of the floodway in those locations to accommodate the facility with some <br />adjustment here and there, and then what happens is that the water then proceeds out off of the <br />property as it is now but internally on the property, there will be some adjustments to deal with <br />those issues that you described. <br />From the wastewater facility perspective, that's not going to go into the stream itself. It will be <br />through injection wells, the wastewater. So, it's not going to affect the stream itself. <br />CLARKSON: Well, II saw the injection wells, but <br />YEH: —And, it's not in the flood zone. <br />CLARKSON: I just <br />DOI (from audience): It's (inaudible) the flood zone. <br />CLARKSON: Okay, if maybe I could just get a little clarification on how that, how that sewage <br />treatment will be protected from flood waters. <br />YEH: Right, and then we do have Yen Wen Fang here who is an engineer from Engineering <br />Partners that can help better describe. <br />HENKEL: Can I swear you in please? Raise your right hand. Do you affirm to tell the truth on <br />this matter now before the Planning Commission? <br />FANG: I do. <br />HENKEL: Okay, please state your name and proceed. <br />FANG: My name is Yen Wen Fang. I'm with Engineering Partners in Hilo. The way we <br />located the wastewater treatment plant on site is in a location that is graded out that's above the <br />floodplain so it's, it used to be in a floodplain, but it's no longer in the floodplain. That, I <br />believe, you have a, you have a map showing where it is. That area, it was the, it was partially in <br />the floodplain before, but after we do the improvement, it's completely outside of floodplain. In <br />EXHIBIT B <br />4 <br />
