By Sub-lease Agreement between Campbell Estate and True Geothermal Energy Company and Mid-Pacific Geothermal, Inc., dated December 3, 1986, Campbell Estate assigned its rights to True/Mid-Pacific Geothermal Venture to drill for, produce and take geothermal resources from the lands leased under any state mining lease issued to Campbell Estate on the lands described in the sublease. By Operating Agreement between True Geothermal Energy Company and Mid-Pacific Geothermal, Inc., dated October 5, 1982, True is designated as "Operator" and Mid-Pacific as "Non-Operator" for the geothermal venture. The operator is responsible for all drilling operations under the terms and conditions of the mining lease. Agent for the operator is Mr. Allan Kawada whose address is: True Geothermal Energy Co., 888 Mililani Street, 8th Floor, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813-2918, Tel: 528-3496.

This survey, which is called an archaeological inventory survey by our department, is to cover all areas to be cleared for construction and an area two to five times that to be developed. The procedures for the survey work are spelled out in the Research Design called for in the Decision and Order, with this design having been amended by joint agreement in the Fall of 1990 to accomodate the potential presence of lava tubes with significant historic remains at or in the vicinity of proposed well sites. To comply with this survey requirement, True Geothermal Energy Company has conducted an archaeological inventory survey of proposed Well Site Number 2 and a buffer quadrat around it. This survey has been done in three fieldwork increments. Results of the first two increments were sublitted to the Department in separate reports (Reports of Archaeological Consultants of Hawaii dated September 6, 1990 and October 26, 1990). After reviewing these two reports, it was concluded by our department that the survey methods for the two increments already completed had to be clarified in the report and that the survey fieldwork had not yet adequately covered the project area specified in the revised Research Design, necessitating a third increment of fieldwork.

The subzone area is designated on the attached map identified as the Kilauea Lower East Rift (Kamaili Section) Geothermal Resource Subzone. The subzone area contains approximately 5,555 acres, more or less, and is located west of the Kilauea Middle East Rift GRS and east of Leilani Estates, Puna, Hawaii. Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10524/33695 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10524/33694 Pursuant to Rule 12-9(a) of the Planning Commission Rules, Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV) requests the County of Hawaii Planning Commission's approval of certain amendments to the existing Geothermal Resource Permit (GRP) issued October 3, 1989. In light of the increased demand for energy production since the issuance of the GRP, PGV seeks an increase in the maximum level of electricity which may be generated by PGV's geothermal operation. When the GRP was issued in 1989, the Island of Hawaii consumed a peak of 130 MW of electrical energy. Consumption since then has steadily increased to a 170 MW peak in 1999. With the anticipated growth of the Island, it is expected that the peak requirement will increase 3-4 MW each year. PGV proposes to help meet this growing energy need and can do so within the next two to five years with its existing production wells. In addition, the ability to add to the generating capability of the plant could be done in a cost effective manner without increasing any risk to public health or welfare. In the past twelve years, there have been advancements in the technology and methodology of generating electricity from geothermal steam. PGV seeks the ability to use more efficient and effective equipment in its operation and has provided herein certain amendments in the description of the categories of equipment that can be used. Since the GRP was originally issued, much has also transpired in the context of the regulation of geothermal energy production. Permits and regulatory oversight by other agencies with expertise in the area now overlap some of the existing conditions of the GRP. Specific standards relating to matters such as noise and air emissions have since been promulgated by other agencies. Amendments are proposed to GRP conditions to acknowledge the jurisdiction of other agencies and to diminish inconsistency and overlapping with the standards and requirements of other agencies. The passage of time also requires a review of the original structuring and administration of the Geothermal Asset Fund that was established pursuant to the terms of the GRP and to which PGV has made annual contributions of $50,000. The fund is now in excess of $1 Million and continues to earn interest. The total amount of claims against the Geothermal Asset Fund which have been approved since the inception of the Fund do not exceed $1,800.

This reliance on imports drives up the price for electricity in the islands and makes Hawaii particularly vulnerable to volatility in the price of petroleum and potential interruptions in delivery of fossil fuels. At the same time, Hawaii is blessed with extraordinary potential to produce renewable energy, particularly geothermal energy. While renewable energy can help alleviate Hawaii's dependence on fossil fuel imports for generating electricity, it can do little to reduce Hawaii's dependence on fossil fuel for transportation. Hydrogen provides a potential avenue to expand the reach of renewable energy, allowing it to address Hawaii's energy requirements for transportation. Given the potential surplus of geothermal resources available on Hawaii, generating hydrogen using geothermal energy may offer a means to establish Hawaii as a model for the future hydrogen energy economy.
