Proposed Gasification Waste Transfer Facility in Kapaau, North Kohala - By Terry Lynn Harrison

Aloha neighbors and friends,

In case you haven't heard!  A proposed Gasification Waste Transfer Center is on the fast tract.....  for our town!

Proposed site sits ad-mist  hundreds of lush acres in rolling pasturelands; on the makia side of road, close to spectacular ocean front bluffs and views. The area is surrounded more than 180 degrees by the awesome, breathtaking evergreen/pristine North Kohala Mountains. 'Waste Stream' folks are moving full speed ahead attempting to build a state of the arts, multi-million dollar Gasification Waste Facility in a most reverend, spiritual, beautiful place on the island, our home!  They claim it will be first of its kind on Hawaii Island.

This could/would become an ecological disaster, affecting, health, well being, safety of life for hundreds and hundreds of all aged residents, animals, beings living within a quarter mile radius of proposed 10 acre site. The entire Ainakea Village would be highly impacted! The quality of life thousands and thousands of us have known for decades in our clean air/clean water homelands of North Kohala would be negatively changed forever.
 
Monster trucks from near and far would run the only road between Hawi, Kapaau, & beyond;  back and forth endlessly kicking up fumes, dust, toxic emissions non stop. A most splendid place in the state, Pololu Valley, would become involved as visitors would have to drive back and forth thru a quagmire of tangled garbage mess traffic, as would we.

Should you not be in favor of this proposed gasification garbage plan by the WasteStream folks, Please register your opposition  to stop this madness on the following site:    as a saying goes:  "a stitch in time saves nine!"

a meeting is planned for November 10th, 5:30 at the Kohala Intergenerational Center......  on  Maulili Rd. before Arakaki store at end of road... 884 5838 for directions 

Thanking you so kindly for your attention; attention we all deserve,
may we all be happy, well, and peaceful, now and always...... including the WasteStream camp!

Aloha,
Terry
