Re: SB 233 (Hertzberg): Hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka ʻaila a me ke kinoea

Aloha Senatoa Hertzberg:

Pono nā hui i kākau inoa ʻia ma lalo nei e kūʻē me ka mahalo i ka SB 233. He hopohopo koʻikoʻi kā mākou hui e pili ana i nā hoʻololi pōʻino i manaʻo ʻia i loko o ke kikoo o kēia manawa o SB 233 e maopopo e hoʻonāwaliwali i ke kānāwai e kū nei (AB 2503 - 2010) ma o ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka manaʻo i ka wehe ʻana i nā mea i hoʻopau ʻia. ka aila a me ke kinoea rigs ma ka nānā ʻana i nā hopena pōkole o ka wehe piha ʻana a me ka nānā ʻole i nā pono o ka wehe ʻana. nā paepae aila a me ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ke kai moana e like me ka mea i ʻaelike mua ʻia e nā mea hoʻolimalima.

ʻOiai ke kākoʻo nei mākou i ka manaʻo e hoʻololi i ka CEQA 'oihana alaka'i mai ka 'Aha Kūkākūkā o ka Moana i ke Komisina ʻĀina Mokuʻāina ʻo Kaleponi, ke hopohopo nei mākou no nā hoʻoponopono ʻē aʻe i manaʻo ʻole ʻia i manaʻo ʻia ma ka SB 233 e hoʻohaʻahaʻa mua i ka hoʻoholo ʻana o ka mokuʻāina i kēlā me kēia hihia ma ke ʻano he hapa. ka wehe ʻana a kūʻē i ka wehe piha ʻana ma nā ʻano he nui.

ʻO ka mea nui paha, ua hoʻopau ʻia kekahi o nā kumu o ka 6613(c) i kēia manawa, me ka pono e noʻonoʻo i nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole o ka wehe ʻana i ka ʻāpana i ka maikaʻi o ka wai, ke kaiapuni kai, a me nā kumuwaiwai olaola (e nānā i ka 6613(c)(3)), a no ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i nā pōmaikaʻi i ke kai mai wehe piha (6613(c)(4)). ʻO ka holoi ʻana i kēia mau koi e hāʻawi ana i ka manaʻo kānāwai ʻaʻole ia pono.

Eia kekahi, ʻo SB 233, e like me ka mea i hana ʻia i kēia manawa, hoʻāʻo e wehe i nā puʻu lepo ʻawaʻawa a me nā puʻu pūpū. ʻike ʻia ma lalo o nā rigs waho mai ke kaulahao o ke kuleana e hāʻule ana i ka mokuʻāina, akā i ka hana ʻana, ʻO ka ʻōlelo i manaʻo ʻia e kuhi hewa ʻia no ka wehe ʻana i nā ʻōpala a me nā puʻu pūpū noʻonoʻo i ka hoʻohālikelike kaulike kaiapuni. Hoʻopili hewa ʻo SB 233 i ka ea pōkole nā hopena maikaʻi a me nā hoʻokuʻu kinoea ʻōmaʻomaʻo (e ʻōlelo ʻia ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka CEQA loiloi) ma ka loiloi koi ʻia o nā hopena lōʻihi i ke kai moana.

E hōʻike hou aku mākou, ma lalo o nā ʻōlelo o nā hoʻololi i hāpai ʻia ma SB 233, ka Mokuʻāina. o Kaleponi hiki ke noho ma ke kaulahao o ke kuleana, e like me ka mea i maopopo pono ia e ka Legislative 2001 pili ʻO ka Manaʻo Kūkākūkā e kuhikuhi ana i nā palena o nā koi uku. Ua aʻo mua ka Moku'āina ma o ka ʻike e pili ana i nā puʻu pūpū Chevron ʻaʻole hiki ke hana pono mālama i kahi ʻōnaehana hoʻokele pōʻino ma kēia pōʻaiapili.

ʻO kā mākou kulekele hui e kūʻē ikaika i ka SB 233 ma kāna ʻano i manaʻo ʻia.

Mahalo iā ʻoe no kou nānā ʻoluʻolu.
