Lester, President <br /> Alaska Aerospace Corporation <br /> 4300 B Street#101 <br /> Anchorage, AK 99503 <br /> Transmittal Via E-Mail: PSCHakaerospace.com <br /> Dear Mr. Lester: <br /> RE: Environmental Assessment— Pacific Spaceport Complex-Hawai'i <br /> I am writing in response to your November 9, 2018, notice of pre-assessment <br /> consultation for the construction and operation of the proposed commercial spaceport, <br /> Pacific Spaceport Complex-Hawaii (PSCH). Thank you for the opportunity to comment. <br /> The County encourages the identification of opportunities to build upon a fully <br /> integrated economy that benefits a diversity of local businesses, residents and the <br /> environment. In doing this, a full and careful review of its impact to this community is <br /> required. <br /> A full discussion of the size, activities, specific type of payloads including any <br /> payloads that would serve as a red flag such as nuclear fuels, wastes or related <br /> component parts. Careful consideration and engagement should be targeted with the <br /> residents of East Hawai'i and in particular residents of the Panaewa Homesteads as to <br /> any potential impacts and planned mitigation actions. Discussion should include noise, <br /> lights, safe disposal of any by-products, handling and spills associated with rocket fuels <br /> and/or hazardous waste and accompanying robust mitigation strategies. <br /> Please also address the various impacts of the trucks transporting construction <br /> components and launch supplies and materials including potential congestion, safety, <br /> and waste. Appropriate various alternative hauling routes and schedules should be <br /> considered. <br /> County of I lawari is an Equal Opportunity Pros!der and Employer <br />
