BILL NO. 111
TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION
Chair Poindexter, Vice Chair Eoff, and all members of the Hawaii County Council,
I strongly oppose the proposed sewage treatment plant in 'Naalehti which would be located essentially:
immediately adjacent and -up -wind from a non-airconditioned public elementary school.
My grounds :for protest are primarily the totally insensitive, dangetous,.and unnecessary choice of a location
unanimously opposed by the affected community.
Other grounds for my objection are lack of consideration or -provision. for public comment the lack.of an
alternative, the ridiculous cost -compared to potential other options, and the failure to -comply with
established procedures.
I beg you to reconsider this hostile .arid unconsidered, project that will make the public -school environment
potentially unpleasant and hazardous and cause great stress to the school staff,,the students andjo their -very
unhappy families.
As a physician as. well ,as:a state legislator,'l strongly oppose,this location..
Please keep me informed of future meetings and -.proposed actions as well as proposed alternatives.
Thank you and all the best,.
