COUNTY U,: HAWAII Please find enclosed 54 letters opposed to the leasing of state lands to Oji/Marubeni with the intent of growing eucalyptus for pulp timber. Many of the letters have hand written personal statements. This number of letters is just the tip of the iceberg opposed to this destructive monocrop industry which threatens to extremely ruin what remains of our arable state lands. Let us consider carefully the many alternatives that could serve to diversify and strengthen our economy not deplete itl Sind Linda L.

I understand that prior to May 27, 1997 the County Council must decide on the continuance of lease negotiations between the County of Hawaii and Oji/Marubeni for a long term lease agreement pertaining to approximately 4400 acres of County Land. I oppose leasing County land for the purpose of the proposed Eucalyptus Mono Culture Plantation. Some of the reasons for my opposition are the following: 1. Worldwide studies show that Eucalyptus plantations damage the ecosystem, deplete soil nutrients, adversely effect natural water systems and pollute water. 2. The practices of spraying herbicides and pesticides, as well as burning of sugarcane, grasses etc. result in increased health problems and contaminated water supplies. 3. Brown clear cut hillsides, pollution, wood chipper noise and heavy logging truck traffic will negatively impact property values, local business and tourism. 4. The investment made by Oji/Marubeni will not result in reasonable employment, and the return on the investment will not energize the County's economy. 5. Terms of the lease, Lease rate and property tax rate do not justify the long term commitment and the impact on infra -structure. 6. It is 50% cheaper to ship pulp than wood chips. As soon as Oji/Marubeni alone or together with other Pulp Growing Companies have secured over 100,000 acres of Pulp Trees a pulp mill will be economically feasible and in all probability will be sought. I personally will not support and will strongly oppose the construction and operation of a pulp mill anywhere in the County of Hawaii. I urge you to make THE RIGHT DECISION, which is NOT to proceed with the negotiations and to support alternative uses of this County Land.

I understand that prior to May 27, 1997 the County Council must decide on the continuance of lease negotiations between the County of Hawaii and Oji/Marubeni for a long term lease agreement pertaining to approximately 4400 acres of County Land. I_ oppose leasing County land for the purpose of the proposed Eucalyptus Mono Culture Plantation. Some of the reasons for my opposition are the following: 1. Worldwide studies show that Eucalyptus plantations damage the ecosystem, deplete soil nutrients, adversely effect natural water systems and pollute water. 2. The practices of spraying herbicides and pesticides, as well as burning of sugarcane, grasses etc. result in increased health problems and contaminated water supplies. 3. Brown clear cut hillsides, pollution, wood chipper noise and heavy logging truck traffic will negatively impact property values, local business and tourism. 4. The investment made by Oji/Marubeni will not result in reasonable employment, and the return on the investment will not energize the County's economy. 5. Terms of the lease, Lease rate and property tax rate do not justify the long term commitment and the impact on infra -structure. 6. It is 50% cheaper to ship pulp than wood chips. As soon as Oji/Marubeni alone or together with other Pulp Growing Companies have secured over 100,000 acres of Pulp Trees a pulp mill will be economically feasible and in all probability will be sought.

I understand that prior to May 27, 1997 the County Council must decide on the continuance of lease negotiations between the County of Hawaii and Oji/Marubeni for a long term lease agreement pertaining to approximately 4400 acres of County Land. I oppose leasing County land for the purpose of the proposed Eucalyptus Mono Culture Plantation. Some of the reasons for my opposition are the following: 1. Worldwide studies show that Eucalyptus plantations damage the ecosystem, deplete soil nutrients, adversely effect natural water systems and pollute water. 2. The practices of spraying herbicides and pesticides, as well as burning of sugarcane, grasses etc. result in increased health problems and contaminated water supplies. 3. Brown clear cut hillsides, pollution, wood chipper noise and heavy logging truck traffic will negatively impact property values, local business and tourism. 4. The investment made by Oji/Marubeni will not result in reasonable employment, and the return on the investment will not energize the County's economy. 5. Terns of the lease, Lease rate and property tax rate do not justify the long term commitment and the impact on infra -structure. 6. It is 50% cheaper to ship pulp than wood chips. As soon as Oji/Marubeni alone or together with other Pulp Growing Companies have secured over 100,000 acres of Pulp Trees a pulp mill will be economically feasible and in all probability will be sought. I personally will not support and will strongly oppose the construction and operation of a pulp mill anywhere in the County of Hawaii. I urge you to make THE RIGHT DECISION, which is NOT to proceed with the negotiations and to support alternative uses of this County Land. Mahalo and Aloha ! AnSnNE ST. Gatti tS P o - gcx Sad .

Worldwide studies show that Eucalyptus plantations damage the ecosystem, deplete soil nutrients, adversely effect natural water systems and pollute water. 2. The practices of spraying herbicides and pesticides, as well as burning of sugarcane, grasses etc. result in increased health problems and contaminated water supplies. 3. Brown clear cut hillsides, pollution, wood chipper noise and heavy logging truck traffic will negatively impact property values, local business and tourism. 4. The investment made by Oji/Marubeni will not result in reasonable employment, and the return on the investment will not energize the County's economy. 5. Terms of the lease, Lease rate and property tax rate do not justify the long term commitment and the impact on infra -structure. 6. It is 50% cheaper to ship pulp than wood chips. As soon as Oji/Marubeni alone or together with other Pulp Growing Companies have secured over 100,000 acres of Pulp Trees a pulp mill will be economically feasible and in all probability will be sought. I personally will not support and will strongly oppose the construction and operation of a pulp mill anywhere in the County of Hawaii. I urge you to make THE RIGHT DECISION, which is NOT to proceed with the negotiations and to support alternative uses of this County Land. ahalo and Aloha I 1-ccAJ7Z C_ A,( Nome and Ad¢tess SS # Date: 41—Q Ll_?, j,7slos'S� - Signat re cam— /l B Ct� dot County Council Members County of Hawaii Hawaii County Building 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, Hawaii 96720 Dear County Council Members: Re: Letter of Intent dated February 27, 1997 from OJI/MARUBENI. I understand that prior to May 27, 1997 the County Council must decide on the continuance of lease negotiations between the County of Hawaii and Oji/Marubeni for a long term lease agreement pertaining to approximately 4400 acres of County Land. I oppose leasing County land for the purpose of the proposed Eucalyptus Mono Culture Plantation. Some of the reasons for my opposition are the following: 1. Worldwide studies show that Eucalyptus plantations damage the ecosystem, deplete soil nutrients, adversely effect natural water systems and pollute water. 2. The practices of spraying herbicides and pesticides, as well as burning of sugarcane, grasses etc. result in increased health problems and contaminated water supplies. 3.
