Okay, on number two, I'm dropping that after reading the folder. I see there was a previous <br />action on the site and probably no endangered species left. <br />Number three, I'm dropping that `cause I see in the folder there was an environmental site <br />assessment. <br />Number four, I am still concerned about the noise impacts. You're going to have booster pumps, <br />trucks, maybe other industrial noise next to tranquil Wailoa Park. <br />Number five, I am still concerned about building in the tsunami zone. With climate change, the <br />tidal wave zones are moving further inland. And, that I don't think it's a [inaudible] new <br />building in a tsunami zone. <br />Also, I hope you folks consider the general environmental impacts of water bottling. There's a <br />lot of wastewater produced. Much of it will be contaminated, and it can't be reused. It takes, in <br />the United States, it takes 50 million barrels of oil a year to pump and process and transport and <br />refrigerate bottled water. Then, there's all the waste from the plastic bottles. We all know about <br />the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and all the plastic on our beaches, South Point, everywhere. We <br />don't need more of that. <br />And, also, there's—number seven is impacts of worldwide privatization of water. You end up <br />with rich people can afford to get good municipal water, but poor people have to buy bottled <br />water or travel to spigots. Even on Hawaii Island we have to do that. <br />But, my biggest concern, I'm glad that you folks are bringing it up, this, the public trust resource <br />issue and who is going to do it? If the buck doesn't stop here, where is it going to stop? Thank <br />you. <br />CLARKSON: Did anybody have questions for the testifier? If not, thank you. There being no <br />other members of the public signed up to testify, at this point, I'd like a motion for closure of <br />public testimony. <br />IKEDA: Move to close public testimony. <br />DELA CRUZ: Second. <br />CLARKSON: All those in favor? <br />COMMISSIONERS: Aye. <br />CLARKSON: Opposed? Motion carried. Public testimony is closed. So, is there any further <br />discussion on this? <br />IKEDA: Before we start, can I ask the Applicant a question? Mr. Fuke a question? <br />EXHIBIT B <br />12 <br />
