Thank you for your recent letter regarding the State's energyp~licy and geothermal development in Hawaii.

The objectives and policies relating to energy in general andg¢othermal resources specifically are addressed in the Hawaii Stateplanning Act Chapter 226, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The HawaiiState Planning Act provides for the formulation of Functionalplans, among them the State Energy Functional Plan. The Departmentof Business and Economic Development (DBED) oversees thea~ministration of the State's through its Energy Division whichimplements various programs that promote alternate energy andemergy conservation. As such, I am sure that DBED Energy Divisionwill be better able to respond to your specific questionsconcernInq energy conservation and efficiency. You may contact Mr.R~ger Ulveling, Director, DBED, 220 South King Street, HonolUlU,H$waii 96813 for more detailed information.

Regarding your comment relating to spending funds onconservat i.on efforts, our current assessment is that increasedd$mand for electrical power may outweigh decreases in demand thatc~uld be effected through conservation measures such as educationof the public, use of various alternate energy technologies, andthrough installation of premise energy conservation devices. Thisis based on relationship between such growth and increasede~ectrical power demand. The State Energy Functional Planalildresses the future energy needs of Hawaii's people in them~gnitude forecasted. The only large scale indigenous resource inH~waii whose conversion to base load electricity is technologicallym~ture is geothermal energy.

Dr. SandsOctober 27, 1989

This administration believes that prudent development of ourgeothermal resources is essential to the state in attaining ourgoal of energy self-sufficiency, and that our State's dependenceon oil be reduced by developing such resources.

In response to localized energy production, I agree with youin concept, however, it must be recognized that the area having thegreatest potential for geothermal resources is located on the BigIsland. While no island should become entirely dependent on"imported" geothermal energy, should development of such energysources should continue to be explored an utilized.

Thank you again for your concern, and for taking the time towrite.

Re: Energy Policy and Geothermal Development

Dear Bi 11 ,

Something different than my letters concerning theMakena-LaPerouse State Park. I sent t.le followirlg letter to Gov.Waihee. I would appreciate your thoughts and comments as well.

I have several questions in regard to energy in Hawaii. One,dCles thE~ State of Hawaii have an "En er qy Policy?" If ~;o, I wouldlike a copy of the policy. Also, who oversees our energy policy,either appointed or de facto? Two, does the State have anorganized, directed effort toward energy efficiency andconseY"vation? A~~ain, I would like a copy of this policy, andwould like to know who heads this up.

My comments are that I believe we should place energy conservatonefforts at the head of our energy priorities. Amory Lovirls, aspecialist in alternative energy, was recently quoted as sayingthat with the $63 million already sperlt on geothermal in Hawaii,he could have found ways to save 500 megawatts. This has theobvious benefits of reducing the need for energy production,regardless of the source. I say this because any sClurce ofenergy appears to have its logistical, production arldenvironmental consequences, be it fossil-fuel, bio-mass,geothermal, .lydroelectric, OTEC, solar or wind.

In developing geothermal energy for Hawaii, the stated intentionis to reduce our energy dependency. I support this, inparticular reducing the use of fossdl fuels. As such, I urge youto decrease fossil-fuel energy production on a megawatt formegawatt basis if and when geothermal energy becomes available.Otherwise we .lave not reduced our fossil-fuel dependerlcy and theenvironmental destruction which its use is causing~ In additionthe excess energy capapcity which would be developed from a 500megawatt plant would fuel the rampant develop~ent Bf,durbanization which is assaulting (]a.lu. T.,is fnay be t.le c.1Qice ofthose who live on Oahu, however it also imposes a major burden ont,he Big Island and may affect Maui with massive transmissiofl1 i nes.

Overall, I encourage you to consider that energy prOdlJctions~lould be localized: in this case, Oahu for Oahu, Big Islarld for

•

Big Island. If geothermal comes on board Oa~lU is again at riskfoY energy loss if problems occur with the cable, tr81'lsmission orthe plant. Hence, while reducing the State's fossil-fueldependency it still places Dahu at en('?rr;ry Yic,k. Hf,?lV: 'co , Iencourage you to consider an Energy Policy which emphasizesenergy conservation and efficiency while developing 11~cal energyresources with the least environmerltal impact. The use ofbio-,nass generation from our sugar cane seems to be a logicalY"esource as it would find a use for the cane, the ag lands whilereducing our fossil-fuel dependency and the need for canebuYning.

I look forward to your reply. I would appreciate not only aresponse to my questions, but also on my comments. In parti,:ular,if we are not emphasizing energy conservation and efficiency, whynot? Also, how do you feel about reducing fossil-fuel producedenergy on a megawatt for megawatt basis if and when geothermalcomes on line? Your thoughts on localized energy production,especially the bio-mass concept using sugar cane will also beappYeciated.

I send you much Aloha and my deep appreciatic,n for yourleadership as Director of t.le DLNR.

SUBJECT: Hiring-Librarian



ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRSCONSERVATION AND

RESOURCES ENFORCEMENTCONVEYANCESfORESTRY AND WILDLIfELAND MANAGEMENTSTATE PARKSWATER AND LAND DEVELOPMENT

I have requested that Janet Swift prepare a list of duties,along the lines of your 3/29/89 write-up, for a temporary hirelibrarian to accomplish the information services requirements ofChapter 196D, HRS, and to proceed with processing the hiring of thelibrarian as approved in RCUH contract No. 26579 for a time periodof ten months.

The attached position Announcement Request outlines the dutiesof the proposed position. The duration of the contract has beenreduced from the originally contemplated twelve months to tenmonths, and the scope of work has been expanded from the originallycontemplated task of primarily updating an existing data base. Wehave determined that the number of volumes of geothermal materialsnot previously catalogued in the Department of Business andEconomic Development data base is not great; however, a maj orportion of the work of this individual as now contemplated will beto organize and establish the geothermal collection within theexisting library at DOWALD. This will accomplish a number ofgoals. It will better organize our library at DOWALD and willeliminate the problem of lack of space at the Geothermal PermitCenter to house the existing collection. It will provide a sortingout of geothermal materials and geothermal related regulatorymaterials from other assorted library materials in our collection.We also can provide office space for the librarian within thelibrary which would be difficult at the Geothermal Permit Centersince all office space is already accounted for.

The initial phase of the librarian's work will involve sortingthrough hundreds of volumes to identify which belong an thegeothermal collection and which do not. Further sorting will bedone into geothermal related regulatory materials and othergeothermal related materials.

Susumu OnoPage 2October 25, 1989

Once the existing library has been sorted and the geothermalreferences sorted and catalogued, the librarian will begin computerwork. This work will comprise entry of new volumes onto a new(AskSam) data base, to include statutory and regulatory materialsrelating to permitting, and, transferring files from the existingdata base onto the new data base. Next, the data base entry systemwill be committed to writing in the form of a procedures manual,and the librarian will teach staff how to maintain the data baseas new volumes are received, including how to classify andretrieve.

Next, the librarian will set up a system for networking withother data bases and libraries, to satisfy a wide range ofanticipated user requirements.

The RCUH will recruit for this position using the ManoaBulletin. Janet has instructions to contact Dr. Carol Tenopir forrecommendations. The librarian will be housed at DOWALD in thelibrary area and will report to Manabu Tagomori. During thecomputer phase of the work, a computer programmed with both AskSamand DBase III plus will be made available at DOWALD. For theteaching staff aspect of the work, the librarian will travel to theGeothermal Permit Center to work with Janet and Maile to show themhow to enter and retrieve references. To set up the networkingsystem the librarian will work with Janet and Maile at theGeothermal Permit Center where the system will be installed. Thisaspect of the work is to include installing the modem,modifications to the Wang computer, library communications, andcommunications software.

Please let me know at your earliest convenience if you concurwith this plan.

The Geothermal/Cable Permit Center provides permittingassistance to applicants for geothermal and cable systemdevelopment proj ects. The office is in the Gold Bond Buildingwhich has minimal access to street parking. The Department ofCorrections has exhausted its permitted parking next door to thebuilding, so visitors have no choice but to park in the ProParkfacilities. My request is to allow the center to provide parkingvalidations to bona fide visitors to the Center. A log will bekept in which the visitor would sign for receipt of validations,indicating his or her organizational affiliation, purpose, date andtime of visit. Upon exhaustion of the initial supply ofvalidations, a copy of this log would accompany the second request,to verify that the validations were utilized appropriately.

SUBJECT: Your Letter of August 24, 1989

Thank you for your letter of August 24, 1989, and for yourconcern regarding the development of our geothermal resources.

Regarding the Board of Land and Natural Resources adopting onAugust 11, 1989, the "Rules of Practice and Procedure forGeothermal and Cable System Development Perm.i trtLnq" this action wastaken only after the Board had deffered action at two previousmeetings July 14, 1989 and July 28, 1989, in order to provideitself and the public more time to consider the rUles, over andabove all legal requirements. By the time of the August 11, 1989,meeting, the Board had no reason to delay action on the rules anylonger.

Regarding the nature of the geothermal and cable systemdevelopment rules themselves, the rules provide specifically thatno agency's jurisdiction or authority under existing statutes canbe affected by these rUles. All the safeguards to the public thatexist through the existing permitting regimes will remain in place.The new rules serve merely to provide coordination of the dozensof permits that may be required for any particular geothermalproject.

The Hawaii State Plan, prepared in the public interest,includes the policy of decreasing the state's dependence onimported fuel. This policy is implemented through pursuit ofalternative energy sources as well as through pursuing a varietyof measures of energy conservation. Of all the alternatives for

Mrs. Sharon B. LunsfordPage 2

providing energy from sources other than fossil fuel, on aneconomically viable scale, geothermal ranks the best for Hawaii.The State, through its Department of Business of EconomicDevelopment, has been sponsoring a series of roundtable workshopsto explain to the community how and why the decision to pursuedevelopment of our geothermal resources has come about, and torespond to the concerns of community members.

Thank you again for taking the time to write. Should you haveany further questions, please call Mr. Manabu Tagomori at 548-7443.

Very truly yours,

Thank you for your letter of February 20, 1989, regarding thepublic and private sectors efforts to bring geothermal development tofunction.

Please be assured that we have been and will continue to exert ourfull efforts to process the ORMAT and True/Mid-Pacific requests. Wewill also be mindful of your suggestion to inform the respectiveapplicants of any deficiencies in their submission as soon as possible.

While we make this statement not as a criticism, it should be notedthat True/Mid-Pacific's Plan of Operation was submitted this month. Anearlier submission would have allowed for a much smoother flow of thereview process.

Thank you for your continued interest in geothermal development.

Very truly yours,

As you know, I am strongly supporting the state'salternative energy objective of reducing our dependenceon imported oil as Hawaii's primary energy source.Inasmuch as we have only two geothermal developers whohave remained active in Hawaii, I have closely followedtheir progress in obtaining all required governmentapprovals to allow them to initiate exploration anddevelopment in the state as soon as possible. Theirdrilling activity is one of the essential prerequisitesto formalizing and completing the 500 mw cable/geothermalproject to bring Big Island energy to Oahu.

I am aware that True/Mid-Pacific Geothermal venturehas submitted for approval the final required documentation to proceed with their operations. I have been toldthat they will initiate drilling operations within fourmonths after the final approvals are received.

RELATING TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. The Hawaii Revised Statutes is amended by adding

a new chapter to be appropriately designated and to read as

follows:

"CHAPTER

GEOTHERMAL AND CABLE SYSTEM

DEVELOPMENT PERMITTING ACT OF 1988

7 s -1 Short title. This chapter shall be known and may be

(1) The development of Hawaii's geothermal resources, which

are located principally on the island of Hawaii and

possibly on the island of Maui, represents a

substantial and long-term source of indigenous

renewable alternate energy that could be used to

generate electric energy to meet the State's electric

energy needs and concurrently help to reduce the

State's need for imported fossil fuels;

(2) The State has deemed it appropriate that the private

sector should develop these geothermal resources, and,

to that end, has sought to encourage private sector

exploration and development of geothermal resources;

(3) The private sector companies seeking to develop

geothermal resources are, however, unable or unwilling

to expend the substantial amounts of funds needed to

develop these resources to their full extent without an

assured and sufficiently large market for the electric

energy to be generated therefrom, and the present and

projected electric energy demand on the island of

Hawaii does not provide an assured and sufficiently

large market;

(4) The greatest present and projected demand for

geothermally generated electric energy is located on

the island of Oahu;

(5) The State, with the support and assistance of the

federal and county of Hawaii governments, has been

exploring for several years the technical, engineering,

economic, and financial feasibility of an interisland

deep water electrical transmission cable system that

would be capable of transmitting geothermally generated

electric energy from the island of Hawaii to the

islands of Maui and Oahu, and believes that a cable

system may be feasible and desirable;

(6) The development of such a cable system will not be

undertaken without the firm assurance that a sufficient

amount of geothermally generated electric energy will

be continuously available to be transmitted through a

cable system once it becomes operational;

(7) The fundamental interrelationship between the

development of geothermal resources and a cable system

and the magnitude of the cost to undertake each of

these developments clearly indicate that neither will

be undertaken without the firm assurance that the other

also will be undertaken in a synchronized and

coordinated manner to enable both developments in

substance to be completed concurrently, thereby

ensuring that revenues will be available to begin

amortizing the costs of each of these developments;

of both geothermal resources and a cable system is the

diverse array of federal, state, and county land use,

planning, environmental, and other related laws and

regulations that currently control the undertaking of

all commercial projects in the State;

(9) These controls attempt to ensure that commercial

development projects in general are undertaken in a

manner consistent with land use, planning,

environmental, and other public policies, except that

some of these specific laws, regulations, and controls

may be repetitive, duplicative, and uncoordinated;

(10) To a limited extent, the State and counties have sought

to ameliorate this difficulty through the enactment or

adoption of measures to improve the coordination and

efficiency of land use and planning controls and

specifically to facilitate the development of

geothermal resources;

(11) Notwithstanding these efforts, the complexities, the

magnitUde in scope and cost, the fundamental

interrelationship between the development of geothermal

resources and a cable system, the inherent requirement

for the coordinated development of the geothermal

time required to undertake and complete both

developments, and the desirability of private funding

for both developments require that affected state and

county agencies be directed to pursue and develop to

the maximum extent under existing law the coordination

and consolidation of regulations and controls pertinent

to the development of geothermal resources and a cable

system,

(12) The development of geothermal resources and a cable.

system, both individually and collectively, would

represent the largest and most complex development ever

undertaken in the State I

(13) Because of the complexities of both projects, there is

a need to develop a consolidated permit application and

review process to provide for and facilitate the firm

assurances that companies will require before

committing the substantial amounts of funds, time, and

effort necessary to undertake these developments, while

at the same time ensuring the fulfillment of

fundamental state and county land use and planning

policies I

(14) The development of geothermal resources and a cable
