NANCE: Well, if we take those four aquifer systems as part of this East Mauna Kea Aquifer <br />sector, they have a combined sustainable yield of 388 million gallons a day, but that's based on a <br />calculated recharge of 883 million gallons a day. <br />CLARKSON: Can I interrupt? I just wanted to ask a question. Are—to your knowledge, are <br />there any wells supplying the public water systems that are makai of this proposed well? <br />NANCE: There are none, no. <br />BUNN: Do you know the total volume of water pumped from the four aquifer systems we were <br />discussing that are in the East Mauna Kea Aquifer sector? <br />NANCE: Well, I know specifically about Onomea which is less than a half a million. The <br />others are probably of the same order of magnitude, maybe all of them may be on the order of <br />two million gallons a day or so out of a sustainable yield of 388, recharge of 883 million gallons <br />a day. <br />BUNN: Thank you. Can you tell us how many wells have been drilled in the Onomea and Hilo <br />Aquifer systems? <br />NANCE: Okay, the Water Commission lists 18 in the Onomea Aquifer, and they list 39 wells in <br />the Hilo Aquifer, 12 of which are reporting pumpage to the Water Commission. <br />BUNN: And, you told us, I believe, that the total <br />REPLOGLE: I'm sorry. I didn't get that last thing you said. Twelve or <br />NANCE: Reporting pumpage to the Water Commission. <br />REPLOGLE: Oh, okay. Thank you. <br />BUNN: I think you told us that the total pumpage currently in the Onomea Aquifer system was <br />roughly .5 mgd. Do you have an estimate for what it is in the Hilo Aquifer system currently? <br />NANCE: I have the data from the Water Commission. The total pumpage in the Hilo Aquifer is <br />on the order of 45 million gallons a day. Forty million gallons a day of that is for pulling wter <br />wells for the HELCO's power plant near the airport. Forty million of the 45 or 44. So, the <br />balance of other wells, municipal and otherwise is around 4 million gallons a day or so. <br />BUNN: Thank you <br />CLARKSON: Excuse me. Isn't it true that that 40 million gallons is taken from relatively <br />shallow depth and immediately reinjected? <br />NANCE: That's correct, yes. <br />EXHIBIT D <br />14 <br />
