O.--, r*,
We did complete our review of the EIS. There wasn't anything in it specifically about ast~stds. -O
N
The procedure now is that Group 70 will publish the availability of the draft EIS in the OEQC Bull h and the
public will have 45 days to comment. If someone wants to comment about asbestos, they should-write to Group
70. Then Group 70 will have to respond to the letter. :3
After the deadline for the comment period, and after Group 70 has responded, they will make any revisions they
want to the draft, and ask us to accept the revisions as the final EIS. If the Planning DepeitmentNcepts the final,
then the public has 60 days to challenge that acceptance in court.
Now, turning to the possible purchase of land at Punalu'u, Chap. 343 requires an environmental assessment (or
possibly full EIS) for any purchase of land with improvements on it. So if we are seriously considering purchase
of a parcel with a structure on it, we would have to do an EA before committing to the purchase.

Hey Chris, Bob is wondering if your department has completed its review of the Group 70 EIS for
Punalu'u? We are interested in any information it might contain about the abandoned structure on TMK:
9-6-001:003, specifically any reports on the presence of or removal of asbestos. Some Council members
are concerned about rumors they have heard about this structure containing asbestos and the possible
liability it may pose for the County should they approve Bob's resolution to purchase the area for Open
Space.
