be inflicted upon the public through their water, through drinking water. This same water will kill the ecosystems off and will surely affect up and down the coast with the tides, currents, and wind. Thirty-three million gallons for toxic water a day can't be ignored. Yes to environmental assessment, and I guess the construction people that came here didn't get the memo that there isn't going to be any construction. So, we're really speaking for nothing, and we can come back and do this again when they decide that they are going to build some sort of repair onI forget the code for that project. GUSS G.: Outfall 001. ANDREWS: Outfall 001. So, I hope that they don't lose their jobs because the project's not going to happen, but at the same time, I do, because I rather they work in another industry. Regarding the other 221? Regarding noise. An unlimited construction noise is a terrible idea. As we know, the current decibels agreement is continually being violated and takes place HALL: Sorry, ma'am, that's the next agenda item. We're only on Number 3 right now. ANDREWS: Oh, okay. HALL: Yeah, you can come back up for that one, yeah. ANDREWS: Thank you. GUSS, G.: Thank you for letting me speak. My name is Gino Guss.

The effect that it will have on the shoreline is intrinsically wrapped up in what they're going to do with the wastewater. Whether the wastewater is going to go through that Outfall and into the ocean, which I think was the original plan for the Sugar Mill, has completely changed, and I hope that you will really consider mitigating this and addressing our concerns. Thank you. SMITH: Good morning, Commissioners. Thank you for having us. My name is Robert Smith, Pepe`ekeo. My issue also is the water. There's been a lot of numbers thrown around, how much, how many gallons a day this plant is going to super heat up, run through various metals at super high speed which means those metals become part of the water, and where that water ends up. It's got two places to go up there where the plant is if they're not going to use the Outfall. It's going to be in the ocean or it's going to be in our drinking water. Okay? This is super - EXHIBIT C 14
