However, I promised the parties that I would agendize these Communications at a later date.

Hawaii 96±7 c> 4) C_ On C Jul. 17.2006 co CID i Mayor Ham' Kim 25 Aupuni Street Room 1 Hilo. Hawaii 96720 s Dear Mayor Kim I am a member of the newly formed Committee For An Appropriate Transfer Station. Our members include: Antonia Vergona. Michael Smith..loxce and Richard Monskx and .fern Lehrich. We have a petition requesting the continuation of the search for a new transfer station. w'e are. for a transfer station. 1Xe do not feel it is reasonable to put one in a residential area. The island population is growing. There is a need for a transfer station in the South Kona Kau area. The site started out as a single basic chute and container facility. The plan has expanded into an enhanced recccline center. There is an interest in putting this facility inside the communit% of Ocean View. The parcel in consideration is lot TMK: 39'1 50060. The purchase of this site is complex. It has four propertm owners. The parcel needs to be subdivided to purchase the nine acres available from this ' 1.64 acre lot. This site is located in the immediate vicinit% of numerous households. The residences near this site will be adyersel\ affected. This station will ha\ e a detrimental impact on propem x alues nt the tune of millions. There is no onsite county water mailable tOr the parcel making it unsafe to operate in a residential area. Proper sanitation will become a problem. How often "ill truckloads of water need to be delivered to properh operate this station? This can become a \ erc expensive facilitc to run. Rainfall is low making water catchments unfeasible. This site is located in a wind\ area- which can he hazardous as well. Should this recycling center go in there will be ample paper. plastic and green waste matter that can ignite endangering peoples lives. without county water \uu have no control over an} catastrophe. Feral animals are a large problem in Hawaiian Ocean View Estates. They make it unsafe to walk the streets. A transfer station in this area will be a major attraction for them. Then will roam the streets in search of food becoming a traffic hazard and public health concern. Disease from these animals will spread through the immediate area. There is a bus stop across the street on lolani jeopardizing the safety of our children. Once again we stress the importance of putting in this new facility far away from the communin to secure the health and safety of the residents of Ocean View. Manaulement and control of this site will become a drain on the budget and not the best use of appropriated funds. Pace 2 of_ The growing communit% of Ocean View has needs that we hope somedaN can be addressed. W e have no medical building. hospital. pharmacy. schools or library. Our senior citizens and children deserve a wholesome quality of life. These are services needed to live as a normal communit%. This will brine the much-needed employment into our loveh neighborhood. We would also like to submit two sites for consideration. TVIK: 91001009. is a 4.591 acre parcel on state land located a short distance north of Ocean View. It is midwaN between Waiea and W aiohinu transfer stations. Deputy Director Nelson Ho expressed at a meeting in Ocean View June R. '_006 that he could work with a lot size of ' . acres. W e would like to resubmit TM. K::92001069. owned b\ Linda Shim. This parcel is 1.000 acres. It is an ideal location a few miles south of the neighborhood. There are no nearb% neighbors. I was informed there is a low acquisition cost and it is located on untouched bare lava. This site offers greater opportunities for expansion of the facility in the future. Wherever the new transfer station goes the count% needs to find an appropriate location at a reasonable distance awa. from residences. The neighborhood of Ocean View is. our backyard and we would like to preserve its beaup and small town atmosphere for generations to come. Respectfull}' yours. 4M7mA~ Vergona Copy: Lincoln Ashida Bobby Jean Leithead-Todd Barbara Bell D Kaetsu Fred Holschuh Donald Ikeda James Arakaki Stacy Higa Gan Sarafik Bob Jacobson Virginia Isbell Angel Pilago Pete Hoffman Reed Flickinger David Bock COMMITTEE FOR AN APPROPRIATE TRANSFER STATION We propose continuation of the search for a much needed transfer station.

The proposed size of the transfer station may initially be acceptable; however, the possibility of an enhanced facility may be in the plan.

On behalf of the Ocean View Neighborhood Watch, we are very much in favor of the Transfer Station site proposed by the volunteer Community Task Force headed by Nelson Ho. The site is in an ideal location: can not be seen from any road, is located on the extreme west side of the greater Ocean View area whew prevailing tide winds carry any smells away from any populated area, plus there are no objections from any property owners in that area. One property owner in a subdivision for to the east of the proposed site did object even though they would not be able to we or smell it. The Ocean View Neighborhood Watch has 24 volunteers who are schaduled for both day and night time patrols in our community. Over the last 10 years we have received numerous reports about people dumping their trash in pulm in dozens of phxes and we firmly believe that this would be greatly reduced if we had a transfer station in the Ocean View aces, instead of 12 miles away in Waiobmu (24 miles round trip). That could be 1 to 2 gallons of gas, or close to $3.50 to $7.00 at today's price of gasoline. The population of Ocean View is growing very rapidly. From 1990 to 2000 it increased by 124%. A recent survey made by myself and others identified nearly 2200 places of residence in the greater Ocean View area, and that multiplied by 2.9. the States factor for the average number of people in a house, comes out to over 6000 population. When all 13,000 lots in Ocean View have homes built on them, our population will be around 40.000. Please help us by approving the site proposed by Nelson Ho and his Task Force.

I am speaking for the property owners in KGE and the surrounding area as well as this hand full of petitions. The site 150-60 is not an appropriate site because it uses private property as buffers and infringes on the health and well being of those in the surrounding area. There is an assumption that by having a transfer station located next to H.O.V.E. (H in the hands of the HOVE Board of Directors. They need to come up with and implemen These problems within HOVE are not and should not be the concern of the Coun This South Kona / Kau site is intended to take the weight off the Waiea transfer station and Milolii facility which is slated to be shut down after the new station is up and running. This information is stated in the May 2006 Milolii solid waste transfer station draft environmental assessment. The DEM has a long history of neglect and poor management. As stated in the Audit of the County of Hawaii's recycling and diversion grants, The DEM is currently unable to produce a working program, is facing a crisis forced by the imminent closure of the East Hawaii Landfill and is mandated to meet certain recycling and diversion goals with inadequate and degraded infrastructure. The County's Updated Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan (ISWMP) is outdated and does not contain sufficient content for use as a guide and measurement tool for the County's progress in implementing solid waste solutions. It is imperative that county and the DEM get there act together yesterday. So they can proceed and act with a reasonable manner and not spur of the moment, lets fulfill someone's agenda just for the sake of getting a job done. Since the onset of the Grant program over 10 years ago the DEM is still failing and unable to produce accountability. The county has no clear plan for addressing solid waste management, which translates into poor guidance and direction for DEM. Inefficient use of county resources and a reactive rather than proactive approach to addressing solid waste issues leads to inappropriate use of funding. Could this would explain why there is no real countywide plan, no budget proposal, no architectural plans for site 150-60 or any other site, Nelson Ho can not tell you from one minute to the next what it is the DEM is actually proposing. The plans always come first. Why isn't there one? Is it a single chute transfer station or an enhanced transfer station? How can you offer the public the idea of a service and not even know what it is you are offering or how much it will cost. There are no clear plans for its setup or operation there can be no clear understanding of problems and expenses they may encounter. There is no working plan to drive and guide implementation of the ISWMP to include accurate descriptions and volume estimates of waste types to be processed at this transfer station. Their solution should be a part of any future plans for the development and operation of this or any other facility on the island. They need to develop programs for the collection of household 8/22/2006 Page 2 of 2 hazardous waste that protect the public and environment from these substances. There is no monitoring of wastes disposed. No sorting of wastes presented in plastic bags. No regular staffing or security at most of the transfer stations. How can they achieve their goals if they put little to no effort in properly operating their facilities. I am sorry but I do not see anything that resembles a "State of the Art convenience center" A selling Point for the new enhanced transfer station. The truth is the DEM has no idea what it is offering to the public because they have not compiled a detailed plan. "In 1985 the Solid Waste Division (S)AID) of the Department of public works (DPW) initiated the "South Kona Transfer Station " project, intended to site a solid waste disposal facility for the then 900 residents of the Milolii / Kahuku area. Work on the project continued for five years without a successful result. It was apparent than and should be realized now that Ocean View is not an appropriate place for a transfer station. There is now an estimated 6000 residents and if you ask any one of them if they want a station in there back yard they will all just say NO. Kona Garden Estates Would like the site 150-60 removed from the listsighting that the transfer station does not belong in a residential area. And would ultimately be the demise of Kona Garden Estates. The DEM has burnt all its bridges on this matter and now needs to look to State Land and acquiring a Discretionary Permit. Face the facts there is no place left but state land. KGE Objects to this usage as being unsightly, noisy and improper. The sight 150-60 sits in the direct view of KGE and would effectively intrude on the lives and well being of its residents. We believe this is a residential neighborhood and that care should be given to prevent any use that would be distasteful to any neighboring view or property owner. We therefore object to this site.

Bettencourt 661-250-9494 p.1 To: COUNTY CLERK (Please distribute to the following) F ? 7 "e Mayor Harry Kim, County Of Hawaii, LM HG 2! Hawaii County Council Barbara Bell ^(j. Nelson Ho Michael Dworsky From: Jacqueline Bettencourt, (Kona Garden Estates property owner - 661-250-9494) I understand that the County of Hawaii is giving consideration to locating a waste transfer station on Lot 392-250-060 in Ocean View. My lot, on which my son will be building a home for himself and my grandchildren to live in, is located a very short 600' away. I am deeply concerned about the deleterious effect this proposed transfer station will have on our quality of life, particularly on my small grandchildren. Has any thought been given to: I . NOISE POLLUTION bottles and cans, large, old appliances being dropped off for recycling, traffic, vehicles idling, waiting to make a left-hand turn into the facility. 2. AIR POLLUTION - from said idling vehicles, noxious odors from decaying garbage, dust being blown around - this is a very windy area. 3. DUMPSTER DIVERS it is well-known that then: are drugs and squatters in this area and also the crime that goes along with the scenario. 4. LANDSCAPE BLIGHT would any of you like this to be your view as you drive into your neighborhood, or the view from your home? 5. WIND-BLOWN TRASH LEAVING THE FACILITY Would any of you like to have your children, grandchildren or even yourselves exposed to the above? I do know that we need a facility such as this in the area but my thought is that perhaps you could find a location with a much larder buffer zone than you bave here. I beg of you to please reconsider installing the waste transfer station at this site. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this. Page 1 of 2 Murashige, Laura From: T.McNut [curania@yahoo.coml Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 7:13 PM - To: counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us Subject: Waste Management Meeting : August 22, 2006 at 2:00p.m. The Committee For An Appropriate Transfer Station has been informed there will be an Environmental Impact Statement prepared with several possible sites. We submitted a list of sites to Nelson Ho at his task force meeting in Ocean View on August 8, 2006. We want to submit them again at this time to make sure they were not transcribed incorrectly. The following TMK's are from the 3-8-9 section of the island. 3-8-9-011-006 1,347 acres -015-003 14.5 acres o~ -015-005 9.234 acres c~ C -015-006 10 acres highway frontage CP -015-007 8.64 acres; N -015-011 32 acres ` -015-013 22.56 acres highway -012-012 100.012 acres -012-014 100.02 acres -012-015 234.74 acres -012-018 3,203 acres -003-067 14.37 acres -003-068 12.84 acres We believe the macnut orchard should be reconsidered because two years time has elapsed since they were last contacted. We also feel the TMK: 3-8-9-001-002 2,701-acre state land site can be resubmitted. We are informed that the County can request a Discretionary Permit from the State Board of Land and Natural Resources, a Conservation District Use Permit as well as a Special Management Area Permit if necessary. As of May 2006 these after-the-fact permits were finally filed to legalize the operations of the Milolii transfer station, which has been operating illegally for over 20 years and is within the Shoreline Special Management Area. The May 2006 report also says the County intends to close Milolii after opening the new facility that will be more accessible and serve a greater population. The South Kona / Ocean View Solid Waste Transfer Station Alternative Site Survey done in December 2004 prepared by Geometrician Association had the following to say. From their research study for the new transfer station the ideal location is mile marker 86. The state land borders the highway and is sufficiently large enough to accommodate a transfer station as well as wide buffers. This is in an area that can serve residents of Ocean View, Honomalino and Miloli i. The land is available to the County at no cost or negligible cost. The Committee For An Appropriate Transfer Station has been diligently working to help the County implement its plans to place a transfer station in this region. We have spent many hours doing research and finding information that will assist us with this mission. I have spent 200 hours researching the entire area looking for an appropriate location. The community needs to know everything that is going on. We have seen no architectural plans for the enhanced transfer station nor the budget to procure permits, purchase land, survey fees, subdivision of land if applicable, as well as everything else 8/22/2006 Page 2 of 2 necessary to put this site in place. Site 3-9-2-150-060 uses Kona South Estates subdivision as buffers for the transfer station as well as the surrounding subdivisions. This is unacceptable. While we were doing our research we discovered an error in suggesting TMK: 3-9-2-001-069. We did not know the site selection criteria at that time. We now know that the travel patterns of the community and the fact that this site must also accommodate Honomalino and Miloli i because of its future closure are important. We also understand there are view plane issues, the site is too close to the existing Waiohinu transfer station being 7 miles away, borders the Hawaiian Ocean View Estates subdivision as well as being located in a heavily windy area making this site impossible for consideration. We apologize for troubling you with this inappropriate parcel. Our committee was only two days old when we began our research. We have learned much since then. We also know in 1985 there was a search for a transfer station in Ocean View with no success. If one could not be found then it becomes apparent that Ocean View is not the appropriate location to service all the area residents. Ciao Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

What about buffer zones? Using neighbor lots is not the correct way to make such a determination. A parcel of greater acreage such as state land is more appropriate than putting that burden in peoples backyards. When I was asked how many people wanted the transfer station here I was not able to give an accurate figure. But when I asked the people if they wanted this facility in their backyard they said NO. It appears to me that no one really wants it here. I ask you the same question; do you want the transfer station in your backyard? As noted all the rubbish centers on the island are failing. 19 of the 21 are in serious condition. There is no monitoring of waste disposed. No sorting of wastes presented in plastic bags. Not all residents will follow proper disposal practices. Without regular staffing to inspect wastes it is virtually impossible to provide assurance that these items are not put in the waste stream. There is a lack of suitable alternatives for commercial and business sector forcing them to use transfer stations for their rubbish. Commercial and hazardous waste are prohibited at all transfer stations. The absence of permanent County hazardous waste collection facilities promotes illegal disposal and illegal dumpsites. The State does not have a household hazardous waste disposal program. How will this affect us? Transport of compactor trailers to landfills is dependent on available personnel and transportation equipment not load weight causing health and safety problems at the facilities. How can this future site be sized properly for the anticipated growth? This includes the proposed closure of the Milolii station after the new transfer station opens. How can whitelbulky goods be determined operational at these sites? Why not educate the people to donate working appliances to charity taking the question out of reusability. What about metal recycling? Will this include vehicles? Are we to create future junkyards in this or other community convenience centers? What about green waste? There is no accurate measuring of green wastes coming into the facility. There is only an assumption it can be handled. The Ocean View Road Corporation President Loren Heck stated at a meeting in OVCA July 12, 2006 " that we have an industrial chipper and will accept green waste from the County". This takes the burden off the transfer station and taxpayer's. The County does not have a clear plan for addressing solid waste management. They and we do not have a clear understanding as to what the real plans are for this enhanced transfer station they intend to put in here. We have seen neither architectural plans nor design for this facility. When questioned about disease vector control there were no answers. Anyone who goes to these convenience centers sees the Humane Society signs about abandoned animals. What can you do to prevent this from happening? If you could prevent or control vector there would be no signs. The Federal Laws state you must protect us from all vector including rodents, flies, mosquitoes, other animals, insects capable of transmitting disease to humans. ( 258.22 Disease Vector Control The public needs to become educated and aware of the needs for recycling. The County can look more into privatizing it. I contacted ARC Hilo and they are willing to setup a recycle reuse program in Ocean View. The County supplies locked bins to be used for just this purpose. I recommend putting them in Pohue Plaza, an ideal location where almost everyone goes. The grocery store and Post Office 8/22/2006 Page 2 of 2 share the same structure. The Post Office supplies us with much wasted papers. Wouldn't it be nice if we could just leave them all in the appropriate on site bins? We can also leave our bottles and cans there as well. If people choose to go to the Hi 5 redemption centers they still have that option. These bins reassure that recyclables will be dealt with properly being re diverted from the landfills. Our compiled information comes from the following sources: Island Wide Transfer Stations Repair And Enhancement Plan dated February 2006; South Kona / Ocean View Solid Waste Transfer Station Alternate Site Survey dated December 2004; Audit Of The County of Hawaii's Recycling And Diversion Grant Program dated June 2006 and Milolii Report May 2006.
