Murashige, Laura Diu_ 21CD1.2 CUM M. -110 From: Stella [calioh001 @hawaii.rr.com] Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2012 12:04 PM To: counciltestimony @co.hawaii.hi.us Subject: Henry Calio, Statement of the Geothermal Plant, Lealani Estates Attachments: Geothermal plant 15 June 12.doc ---9 .: -o Comm. No. —7/0' 79 Ref. To: Ref. Date JUN 1 9 2 6/18/2012 June 15, 2012 Henry M. Calio 13-1099 Leilani Ave Pahoa HI 96778 Subject: Objection to Bill 256, Draft 2 Affecting Puna Homeowners My name is Henry Calio and I am a resident of Leilani Estates. I have lived here for 3 years and am very concerned about the proposed amendment to the Geothermal Relocation and Community Benefits Program. I love this place, "my home". We ask that you please listen to the long-time residents of the community and vote against Bill 256, Draft 2. The financial impact to homeowners will be devastating. Property values will be negatively impacted. We have a hard time getting homeowners insurance now, and if this bill passes, we won't be able to get insurance at all. I have worked in the construction industry for 35 years across the country from Hawaii to New Hampshire. Nuclear, Geothermal, and Fossil Fuel Power Plants, refineries, chemical plants and commercial buildings from start of construction to finish to maintenance. Having been so immersed in the plants has not affected my health in any way, and I was on-site working these projects. What happened to Department of Public Safety, OSHA, or the Health Department testimony? Where is their report? Where is the evidence? What has other Geothermal Plants done in their region? Where does our Geothermal Plant rank in their performance against others? There has been no scientific data or medical evidence to justify your position on Bill 256 (draft 2) I stand united with my community against this "Bill". VOTE "NO" on Bill 256/Draft 2. Respectively, Henry M. Calio
