Corp state program, <br /> Planning Committee, Introducer: Ford <br /> Dear County Council Members, <br /> 0 <br /> I support the resolution 303-12 introduced by Brenda Ford. <br /> Geothermal development in populated areas with volatile seismic activity is <br /> TOXIC AND DANGEROUS in many ways, including the leaking of toxic gasses, <br /> potentially creating earthquakes in an unstable area, contamination of groundwater <br /> and oceans, creation and storage of toxic waste, and the potential for accidents that <br /> require massive evacuations. To not study these things in GREAT DETAIL <br /> BEFORE proceeding with even one Geothermal Project in a Lava Zone 1 or 2 <br /> seismic area is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE . <br /> An EIS must be required in EVERY PROJECT related to developing geothermal <br /> power and PUBLIC INPUT MUST be required before approving projects. <br /> In addition, If an EXISTING Geothermal Development Project has NOT <br /> COMPLETED AN IN-DEPTH EIS THAT PROVES IT IS SAFE, SUCH <br /> DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE HALTED IMMEDIATELY UNTIL SUCH TIME <br /> AS AN EIS HAS BEEN COMPLETED & REVIEWED BY A COMMITTEE <br /> THAT INCLUDES RESIDENTS FROM THE AREAS SITED FOR SUCH <br /> DEVELOPMENT, whose lives, health, families and land are AT RISK. <br /> The Public Land Development Corporation needs to be abolished, as it is deeply <br /> flawed in its conception. Any execution of its potential actions at this time will only <br /> create a quagmire of LEGAL ENTANGLEMENTS and CIVIL UNREST. <br /> Know that VOTERS ARE WATCHING YOUR ACTIONS ON THIS ISSUE <br /> CAREFULLY & YOUR CONTINUED PUBLIC SERVICE MAY VERY WELL <br /> DEPEND ON A RESPONSE THAT REPRESENTS HAWAII RESIDENTS & NOT <br /> CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT. <br /> Please keep me informed of any opportunity to give additional testimony to help <br /> with this resolution, so essential to the health and well being of my Community. <br /> Comm. No. 843.3 <br /> Ref. To: <br /> Ref. Date 1 8 <br /> 9/17/2012 <br />
