PREFACE This Draft Revised Final Environmental Assessment (RFEA) / Anticipated Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been prepared pursuant to Chapter 343, Hawai‘i Revised Statutes (HRS), and Title 11, Chapter 200, Hawai‘i Administrative Rules (HAR), Department of Health, State of Hawai‘i. The County of Maui, Department of Public Works (DPW) is proposing to replace and upgrade the Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge in the Kīhei District of the Island of Maui. The project requires the use of County funds and lands, therefore, the project is subject to the State environmental review process. In addition to using County funds, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funds will also be used. Separate documentation will be prepared for the proposed project to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended. Although the Final Environmental Assessment/Finding of No Significant Impact (FEA-FONSI) was published in the December 8, 2015 edition of the Environmental Notice, the County of Maui DPW withdrew the FEA-FONSI to address two comment letters and applicable responses which were inadvertently omitted from the December 8, 2015 publication. In addition, an agency comment letter received after the filing of the FEA-FONSI is included in the RFEA-FONSI. The proposed action assessed herein is for the replacement of the Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge. The replacement bridge will be longer and wider than the existing bridge and will also involve several roadway improvements including installation of guardrails, and a dedicated paved walkway and bikeway on the mauka side of the roadway. Also associated with the project is a temporary bridge and bypass road that will be constructed on the mauka side of the Kūlanihākoʻi Bridge to accommodate traffic while the bridge is being replaced. It is anticipated that a This RFEA is proposing a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) as no significant impacts are anticipated as a result of implementing the proposed project. will be issued and filed with the State Office of Environmental Quality Control (OEQC) by the approving agency following public review of the Draft EA.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Location The County of Maui, Department of Public Works (DPW) proposes to replace and upgrade the Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge, which spans Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch, in Kīhei, Maui, Hawai‘i. Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge is located on South Kīhei Road approximately 200 feet south of the South Kīhei Road and Ka‘ono‘ulu Street intersection (see Figure 1-1). The project area is further identified as Tax Map Key (TMK) (2) 3-9-001:015 (por.), 147 (por.) and 162 (por.), and a portion of the South Kīhei Road right-of-way (see Figure 1-2). 1.1.1 Existing Uses South Kīhei Road, in the vicinity of Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge currently consists of two (2) 10-foot wide travel lanes (one lane in each direction) with shoulders ranging from 4.2 to 5.6 feet wide. Currently, there are temporary concrete barriers placed along both sides of the bridge (see Figure 1-3). The bridge is a four-cell concrete box culvert system and each cell is six (6) feet wide and four (4) feet high by 38-feet across South Kīhei Road. South Kīhei Road extends 27-feet and nine inches over the four cell box culvert. Since the box culverts span more than 20-feet, it is considered a “bridge” (see Figure 1-4). 1.1.2 Surrounding Uses The project site is bounded by Ka‘ono‘ulu Street to the north, Kīhei Bay Vista and the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary to the south, the Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch to the east, and Kalepoleopo Beach Park to the west (see Figure 1-5). In addition, there are various resorts and residential areas mauka of the project site, including the Aston Maui Lu Resort to the northeast, the Ka‘ono‘ulu Estates to the east, and the Kīhei Bay Vista and Kīhei Bay Surf to the southeast.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 Project Purpose and Need The existing culverts are structurally deficient and in advanced stages of deterioration. The County of Maui bridge inspection report, dated January 2011, notes that the culverts and retaining walls are in critical condition. There are numerous delaminations, spalls with exposed rebar, and rebar that has been corroded away in the 4-cell reinforced concrete culvert. There are also major problems with embankment erosion and adequacy of opening. A more recent bridge inspection report, dated March 2012, notes that Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge is in a very deteriorated condition, with exposed reinforcement and crumbling concrete, severe spalling and advanced corrosion of the reinforcing of the top slab of the culvert. The report recommends that immediate repairs or shoring of the top slab be implemented. If left unrepaired there is a risk of possible collapse of the existing culverts due to vehicles traversing over it. Based on the results of the bridge inspection report, the sufficiency rating of the bridge is rated 2.0 on a scale of 0 to 100 with 100 representing a bridge fully meeting current design standards. The recommendation of the inspection report is to replace the bridge. In addition, the existing traffic safety features of the bridge do did not meet current standards. Currently, only Only temporary concrete barriers are were located along both sides of the bridge on South Kīhei Road. There are were no approach guardrails or transitions at either ends of the bridge. This results resulted in the ends of the portable bridge parapets to be exposed to traffic. Since the existing culverts are in very deteriorated condition, the County implemented an emergency temporary repair which involved construction of an emergency temporary steel bridge over the existing culverts to avoid the risk of possible collapse. Separate permits and approvals were obtained for the emergency repair. Roadway In the long-term, roadway improvements to South Kīhei Road are also necessary as there is a need for enhanced safety for vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists. Currently Prior to the emergency repair, pedestrians and bicyclists share shared existing paved roadway shoulders on both sides of South Kīhei Road ranging in width from approximately 4.2 to 5.6 feet.

2.2 Project Description The proposed project involves the replacing the existing bridge as well as various roadway improvements. The proposed improvements are described below (see Figures 2-1 to 2-4): The existing Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge, which is comprised of four culverts, will be replaced with a longer and wider bridge consisting of six (6) culverts. Prior to construction of the new culverts, the existing emergency temporary bridge and guardrails will need to be removed. Then, the existing four (4) culverts will need to be demolished and removed along with the existing inlet and outlet headwalls and temporary concrete barriers. Once the existing four (4) culverts are removed, the foundation for the new culverts will need to be installed. The

Page 28: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

base would be excavated to accommodate an 8-inch thick gravel layer or similar structural fill. The replacement bridge will be constructed with six (6) new culverts; each approximately six (6) feet wide, four (4) feet high and 50 feet across South Kīhei Road. The pre-cast concrete culverts will be approximately one (1) foot thick. Thus, the new bridge will extend approximately 50-feet across South Kīhei Road. The six (6) culverts, placed side by side, would extend approximately 48-feet within the South Kīhei Road right-of-way. The culverts will be cast at an off-site location and then trucked to the project site where a crane will be used to lower the culverts into place. The invert of the culverts will sit at sea level. Inlet and outlet head walls will also be constructed. The inlet and outlet head walls will be one foot thick, constructed of concrete rubble masonry and will be cast-in-place. The roadway section over the replacement bridge will be widened from two (2), 10-foot travel lanes with paved shoulders to two (2) 12-foot travel lanes, one in each direction, a 5-foot wide bike lane, a 5-foot wide paved walkway, and a 2.5-foot wide curb and gutter separating the walkway from the roadway on both sides of the bridge. A 4-foot tall traffic rated bridge wall will be constructed on top of the culverts on each side as a traffic barrier for safety purposes. The bridge wall will be constructed of stone masonry and would be 1-foot thick. The temporary concrete barriers will be replaced with permanent Permanent guardrails and end connections, will also be installed and designed to comply with current standards. Roadway improvements to South Kīhei Road in the vicinity of the bridge include widening the roadway on the mauka side to accommodate a 5-foot wide bike lane and a 5-foot wide paved walkway with a 2.5-foot wide curb and gutter separating the walkway from the roadway. There is an existing paved walkway that terminates at the northern end of the Kīhei Bay Vista property approximately 100 feet south of the bridge. From this point, the project intends to extend the paved walkway over the new bridge until it reaches Ka‘ono‘ulu Street where it connects with an existing paved shoulder. The curb and gutter and the bike lane would follow the same route as the proposed walkway. From the bridge, the proposed improvements extend along the mauka side of the road, approximately 300 linear feet. The proposed improvements will include a 5-foot wide bike lane and a 5-foot wide paved walkway on the makai side of the bridge. Since there are no existing sidewalk connections on the makai side of the road in close proximity of the bridge, there are limited extensions, approximately 50 feet north and 100 feet south. If and when future improvements are pursued on the makai side of South Kīhei Road, further curb, gutter, sidewalk and bike lane improvements can be implemented. Due to the widening of the roadway, installation of a new 24-inch drain line on the mauka side of the roadway, north of the bridge, will be required to replace the existing dirt swale which currently collects runoff from the road. However, this swale would be paved over to accommodate the proposed widening. The proposed 24-inch drain line would collect the runoff from a headwall inlet that would be constructed on the mauka side of the roadway near the intersection of South Kīhei Road and Kaʻonoʻulu Street. From there it would connect to a manhole and then traverse beneath the roadway until it reaches the bridge where it would connect with the northern most culvert. There is also an existing 30-inch drain line on the mauka and south side of the bridge which collects road runoff from an area

near Kīhei Bay Vista that will be left in place. However, a new outlet into the southernmost culvert will be needed. Widening of the roadway will also require the relocation of two (2) electrical utility poles as the poles are currently located in the area planned for the paved walkway. The poles will be relocated near their existing location, but closer to the mauka edge of the road right-of-way. The relocation of the electrical poles will be coordinated with the Maui Electric Company (MECO) prior to construction. In addition, as the new culverts extend farther across South Kīhei Road than the existing culverts, a portion of an existing 12-inch waterline located on the mauka side of the existing bridge will need to be relocated under the new culverts. The relocated waterline is proposed to be encased in a concrete jacket.

During construction of the replacement bridge, that portion of South Kīhei Road would not be usable. Thus, prior to the removal of the existing culverts and the construction of the replacement bridge, a temporary bridge and bypass road will need to be constructed on the mauka side of the existing bridge to accommodate traffic along South Kīhei Road during construction. Construction of the temporary bridge and bypass road is described below (see Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6). The temporary steel panel bridge and bypass road will be constructed on the mauka side of the existing bridge. The temporary bridge will be approximately 31-feet wide and span approximately 70-feet over the drainageway. The steel panels on each side of the bridge are approximately 3.5-feet wide, leaving enough room to accommodate two, 12-foot travel lanes, one in each direction. The mauka side of the temporary bridge will include a 5-foot wide suspended walkway (see Figure 2-7). Prior to construction of the temporary steel bridge, an area on both sides of the temporary bridge will need to be cleared and excavated to construct the concrete footings that will support the temporary bridge. The area of the footings would not exceed 20-feet by 38-feet on each side of the bridge. The depth of excavation is expected to exceed 3.5-feet. The bridge will be assembled in sections off-site and trucked over to the project site for installation. Construction of the temporary bypass road on both sides of the temporary bridge will also include two, 12-foot travel lanes, one in each direction and a temporary 5-foot wide temporary sidewalk on the mauka side of the roadway (refer back to Figure 2-4). The route of the bypass road is currently undeveloped and covered with vegetation that would need to be removed prior to roadway construction (refer back to Figure 2-1). In addition, the slope of the ground in this area varies slightly and will require cut and fill activities to create a level area for the temporary road.

After completion of the permanent culvert improvements, the temporary bridge and bypass road would be removed. It should be noted that there is another set of emergency temporary bridge improvements being proposed were recently completed in January 2015 as an emergency temporary repair. This was prompted by the March 2012 County of Maui Bridge Inspection Report which showed accelerated deterioration of the existing culverts. The report recommends that

2-12

immediate repairs or shoring of the top slab of the existing bridge be implemented to eliminate the risk of possible collapse of the existing culverts due to vehicles traversing over it. Therefore, in response to this recommendation, while waiting for the new bridge to be constructed, the DPW has decided to construct an emergency temporary steel bridge over the existing culverts to avoid such risk. This has been prompted by the accelerated deterioration of the existing bridge as well as the projection that design, permitting, and construction for the temporary bridge and bypass road mauka of the existing bridge is not expected to be completed until 2015 2019 assuming all applicable approvals are obtained. An emergency temporary bridge over the road is less complicated regarding permitting and can be constructed by 2013. Because of the need to expedite construction of the emergency temporary bridge over South Kīhei Road, a Special Management Area (SMA) Assessment has been was granted on March 4, 2013. However, since the construction of the replacement bridge will need sufficient space for the new culverts to be installed by crane, the temporary bridge and bypass road on the mauka side of the existing bridge would still be necessary. Once the temporary bridge and bypass road mauka of the existing bridge is constructed, the emergency temporary bridge over the existing culverts would be disassembled and removed. It is noted that the project involves the installation of six (6) new culverts rather than four (4) culverts as the six (6) culverts will provide an incremental increase in drainage capacity from approximately 204 cfs to 306 cfs (assuming the outlet is not blocked) while still remaining feasible. However, ocean wave action results in sand plugs of varying heights and sizes which blocks the ocean outlet. When substantial storm flows occur, this may be sufficient to open the plug. However, it is noted that the drainageway immediately mauka of the proposed project is relatively flat and undefined. Thus, substantial storm flows overtop the relatively flat drainageway and provides a limitation to provision of greater additional capacity. Moreover, the existing built environment provides limitations on increasing drainage volume horizontally and vertically under South Kīhei Road. While the proposed project does slightly increase drainage capacity and decrease flood risk, it is not intended to address flooding issues on a regional basis.

2.3 Project Cost and Schedule Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to commence by the first quarter of 2015 2019 with completion approximately nine (9) months later. The project cost is estimated at $3.6 million, which will be funded by the County and FHWA.

3. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING ENVIRONMENT, IMPACTS, AND MITIGATION MEASURES

3.1 Climate Maui’s climate varies by terrain but is relatively uniform year round with mild temperatures, moderate humidity, and relatively consistent northeasterly trade winds. Regional topography and climatic conditions attribute to a variety of micro-climates found across the island. The project site is located in the semi-arid Kīhei-Mākena region. The mean annual temperature of the island of Maui, near sea level, is approximately 75 degrees Fahrenheit (°F). The Kīhei coast is known to be sunny, warm, and dry throughout the year. Annual temperatures for the Kīhei region average in the mid to high 70s. During the summer months and dry season, average daily temperatures in Kīhei range from 77.0°F to 77.6°F. Average rainfall distribution in the Kīhei-Mākena region varies from under 10 inches per year along the coastline to more than 20 inches per year in the higher elevations. Rainfall in the Kīhei-Mākena region is highly seasonal with most of the precipitation occurring during the winter months. Trade winds out of the northeast average 10 to 15 miles per hour (mph) in the Kīhei-Mākena region during the afternoon. Typically, lighter winds are felt during the morning and evening. Storms are infrequent and generally occur during the winter months in Hawai‘i, although tropical storms and hurricanes occasionally approach the island between June and November.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures No significant impacts on climate in the project area are anticipated. Construction and operation of the proposed project are not anticipated to affect temperatures, wind, or rainfall levels in the project area.

3.2 Physiography

3.2.1 Geology and Topography The Island of Maui was formed by the merging of two volcanoes, Haleakalā, and the West Maui Mountains. The merging of these volcanoes created the second largest island in the Hawaiian island chain. Dominating East Maui, Haleakalā is a dormant volcano rising 10,025 feet above sea level. The western and northern slopes are relatively smooth but are sloping to moderately steep. The land is rough and rocky near the summit of Haleakalā Crater and on the eastern and southwestern slopes. The West Maui Mountains are a deeply dissected volcano rising 5,788 feet. Canyons and steep ridges comprise the central area of West Maui making it not easily accessible. The project site is located near the makai terminus of Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch, a major geomorphic feature along the south slope of Haleakalā. The drainage watershed which feeds into Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch starts at the approximately 9,600 foot elevation near the summit of Haleakalā. The southwestern slope of Haleakalā is characterized by widely spaced erosional gullies. While slopes can be quite extreme at upper elevations, the project site is located within the relatively flat coastal plain. The elevation of South Kīhei Road at the project site is approximately 5.5 feet above sea level. The inverts of the existing culverts

Page 46: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

3-2

range from between sea level to 1 foot above sea level. Immediately upstream and downstream of the culverts, the invert of the drainageway usually holds standing water. The elevations of the swale in the immediate vicinity range from 0.5 to 1.6 feet above sea level. Downstream of the swale, a sand plug is formed by wave action. Elevations may range between 0.5 to 4.5 feet. This may be quite variable depending on wind and wave action.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short- and long-term, no significant impacts on geology or topography are anticipated during construction or operation of the proposed project. Construction of the proposed project will require cut and fill activities for grading and excavations for the new culverts as well as the road widening. None of the proposed cuts involve further excavation into the dune system on the makai side of the bridge. Grading within the project site will slightly alter the existing topography, however, graded and excavated areas will be backfilled to restore the topography similar to existing conditions.

3.2.2 Soils According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resource Conservation Service, soils within the project site are classified as Dune Land (DL) and Keālia Silt Loam (KMW) (see Figure 3-1). Dune Land (DL) consists of hills and ridges of sand-size particles drifted and piled by wind. The hills and ridges are actively shifting or are so recently fixed or stabilized that no soil horizons have developed. The sand is dominantly coral and seashells with elevations ranging from seal level to 150 feet. Keālia Silt Loam (KMW) consists of deep, poorly drained soils that formed in alluvium. Keālia soils are on nearly level coastal flats that are affected by a fluctuating salt water table and can be found in elevations ranging from sea level to 10 feet. Ponding occurs in low areas after heavy rain and when the soil dries, salt crystals form on the surface. Slope of the soil varies between 0 to 1 percent. Permeability is moderately rapid. Hazard of water erosion is slight, but can be severe when dry and windy. A Dune Investigation Report was prepared by Sea Engineering, Inc. in August 2012 to determine the location of the coastal dune in relation to the project site to comply with the Maui County Grading Ordinance Section 20.08.035 (I) which prohibits the grading of coastal dunes. The report is included in Appendix A and is summarized below. The County ordinance defines a coastal dune as “one of possibly several continuous or nearly continuous mounds or ridges of unconsolidated sand contiguous and parallel to the beach, situated so that it may be accessible to storm waves and seasonal high waves for release to the beach or offshore waters.” Thus, there are three main criteria that are used to establish the presence or limits of a dune: unconsolidated sandy soil, a mound or ridge formation, and the possible reach of storm or seasonal high waves.

However, the limits of a coastal dune may not always be definitive. Sometimes there is no clearly defined break in slope, sometimes the terrain is obscured by heavy underbrush, or there may be several lines of dunes. In heavily used areas the coastal dune structure can be obscured by terrain alteration due to vehicle or foot traffic, or by previous grading and construction activities. Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch is an intermittently flowing stream channel, which during heavy rains erodes a stream channel through the beach and discharges runoff waters into the ocean. When the rain stops, and flow ceases, a beach berm reforms in front of the stream, and a muliwai typically forms. A muliwai is the Hawaiian word for brackish water pools near the mouths of streams created by seasonal barriers of sand or sediment. The muliwai and stream channel occupy the zone immediately seaward of the bridge and road for a distance of approximately 160 feet north and 130 feet south of the bridge. When the stream is not flowing, a visible low elevation swale is present in the beach and backshore marking the location of the channel. Seaward of Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge is Kalepolepo Beach, a sand beach approximately 750 feet long extending from the revetment fronting the Maui Lu Hotel in the north, to the Kalepolepo Fishpond in the south. Dune formation is active in this area as the prevailing tradewinds are modified by the local effects of Haleakalā and blow strongly from the northwest in the afternoons, transporting dry beach sand inland. Coastal dunes up to 16 feet high are present to the north and the south of the stream channel/swale. The north coastal dune lies seaward of the muliwai, and forms the north side of the stream channel. The landward limit of the north dune is located at the base of the slope along the seaward waterline of the muliwai. The south dune forms the south side of the stream channel. The landward limit of the south dune follows the south edge of the stream channel/swale, and then along the edge of South Kīhei Road to the south. The edges of the dunes are illustrated by the red lines in Figure 3-2. A beach berm lies between the dunes and stream channel, and the ocean.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures Construction activities will involve land-disturbing activities, such as grubbing, clearing, grading, and excavation that may result in some soil erosion and potential construction-related impacts to the quality of surface and coastal waters in the greater project vicinity. Various mitigative measures will be incorporated into the project’s construction plan to minimize soil disturbances and potential short-term erosion impacts during construction activities. Excavation and grading activities associated with construction of the proposed improvements will be regulated by the County’s grading ordinance. A DOA Nationwide Permit, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and a WQC, issued by the DOH, pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act will be required. In conjunction with the Section 401 and 404 permits, a BMP plan will be prepared for construction activities within the project site. Erosion and sediment control measures will be instituted in accordance with site specific assessments, incorporating appropriate structural and/or non-structural BMPs such as minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping, and implementing erosion

control measures such as silt fences and filter berms. Specific BMPs may include, but may not be limited to the following:

1. Minimizing soil loss and erosion by revegetation and stabilization of slopes and

disturbed areas of soil, possibly using hydromulch, geotextiles, or other applicable alternatives, as soon as possible after working;

2. Minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping; 3. Application of protective covers to soil and material stockpiles; 4. Minimizing disturbance of soil during periods of heavy rain; 5. Implementing erosion control measures by emplacement of structural controls

such as silt fences, filter berms, gravel bags, fiber rolls, sandbag barriers and other barriers in order to retard and prevent the loss of sediment from the site;

6. Phasing of the project to disturb the minimum area of soil at a particular time; 7. Use of drip pans beneath vehicles not in use in order to trap vehicle fluids; 8. Routine maintenance of BMPs by adequately trained personnel; 9. Significant leaks or spills, if they occur, shall be properly cleaned up and disposed

of at an approved site. Following construction, exposed soils at the project site will have been built over, paved over, or re-vegetated to control erosion. Dewatering may be required for the proposed project. Should dewatering be deemed necessary, the contractor will be responsible to obtaining all applicable permits including, but not limited to, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for Dewatering Activities. The permit application will require a BMP plan, an erosion control plan, and a water quality monitoring plan. Water quality impacts associated with the disposal of dewatering effluent will also be addressed in the BMP plan, including appropriate characterization of any potential pollutants such as sediments and nutrients in the effluent. Based on the findings of the dune study, the proposed limits of construction of the project do not extend to the coastal sand dune, as defined by the County grading ordinance.

3.3 Hydrology

3.3.1 Surface Water The project site traverses near the Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch ocean outlet. The Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch originates at the 9,600 foot elevation contour near summit of Haleakalā, extending downslope and westward approximately 16-miles to its Pacific Ocean outlet adjacent to Kalepolepo Beach Park on Mā‘alaea Bay. At the project site, the gulch is a broad, flat open area with minimal relief and a substratum of dark sand. Surface water is present at the project site where the outlet is blocked by a deposit of sand (Kalepolepo Beach), forming a muliwai (brackish water pond or estuary) extending inland through the project site. For the majority of the time, this area of the gulch is permanently wet, estuarine, and tidal.

Page 51: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

A Water Quality and Biological Survey for the project site was prepared by AECOS Inc. in March 2013 and revised January 20, 2015. The survey extended from 115 feet upstream of South Kīhei Road to just offshore of Kalepolepo Beach. The revised Water Quality and Biological Survey is included as Appendix B and a summary of the water quality findings are summarized below. Based on the Water Quality Survey, it was determined that the brackish gulch waters near the project site were nutrient, sediment, and chlorophyll laden, relative to State of Hawai‘i water quality criteria for estuaries. The results indicate that generally poor water quality conditions were present during the survey, however, it is not an unusual situation for a muliwai. Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch appears on the DOH, 2012 list of impaired waters in Hawai‘i, prepared under the Clean Water Act. The listing indicates that the water body may not meet State of Hawai‘i water quality criteria for estuaries. The estuary is listed as impaired for total nitrogen, nitrate+nitrate, turbidity, and chlorophyll. It has been assigned a low priority for total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) studies. The coastal waters fronting Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch may also be impaired. Nearshore marine waters fronting the gulch were nutrient, sediment and cholorophyll laden, well oxygenated, and had a pH near 8.10.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short- and long-term, no significant impacts on surface waters in the project vicinity are anticipated during construction or operation of the proposed project as the proposed project is not anticipated to adversely affect the already poor water quality of the muliwai at the site. A DOA Nationwide Permit, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and a WQC, issued by the DOH, pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act will be required. In conjunction with the Section 401 and 404 permits, a BMP plan will be prepared for construction activities within the project site. Erosion and sediment control measures will be instituted in accordance with site specific assessments, incorporating appropriate structural and/or non-structural BMPs such as minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping, and implementing erosion control measures such as silt fences and filter berms. Specific BMPs may include, but may not be limited to the following:

1. Minimizing soil loss and erosion by revegetation and stabilization of slopes and

disturbed areas of soil, possibly using hydromulch, geotextiles, or other applicable alternatives, as soon as possible after working;

2. Minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping; 3. Application of protective covers to soil and material stockpiles; 4. Minimizing disturbance of soil during periods of heavy rain; 5. Implementing erosion control measures by emplacement of structural controls

such as silt fences, filter berms, gravel bags, fiber rolls, sandbag barriers and other barriers in order to retard and prevent the loss of sediment from the site;

6. Phasing of the project to disturb the minimum area of soil at a particular time; 7. Use of drip pans beneath vehicles not in use in order to trap vehicle fluids;

3-8

8. Routine maintenance of BMPs by adequately trained personnel; 9. Significant leaks or spills, if they occur, shall be properly cleaned up and disposed

of at an approved site.

In addition, the proposed project will also require a DOA permit pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, which regulates work within, over and beneath navigable waters of the U.S. Following construction, exposed soils at the project site will have been built over, paved over, or re-vegetated to control erosion. Dewatering may be required for the proposed project. Should dewatering be deemed necessary, the contractor will be responsible to obtaining all applicable permits including, but not limited to, an NPDES Permit for Dewatering Activities. The permit application will require a BMP plan, an erosion control plan, and a water quality monitoring plan. Water quality impacts associated with the disposal of dewatering effluent will also be addressed in the BMP plan, including appropriate characterization of any potential pollutants such as sediments and nutrients in the effluent.

3.3.2 Wetlands According to the Water Quality and Biological Study prepared by AECOS Inc. in March 2013 and revised in January 2015 (refer to Appendix B), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Wetland Inventory (NWI) ;”Wetlands Mapper” shows the area of the muliwai classified as PUBHh: diked or impounded, permanently flooded, freshwater wetland (palustrine) with unconsolidated (sand or mud) bottom; and a much larger area extending to the south thorough through several resort complexes as PEM1C: seasonally flooded freshwater wetland with persistent emergent vegetation. The AECOS study updates these findings. The AECOS study found that the muliwai should be classified as E1UB2: estuarine subtidal with sand bottom; as the area is not “dike” or unnaturally impounded. In addition, the wetland corresponding to the area in the NWI as PEM1C is no longer present as the area is now a fully developed landscape. The study also attempted to delineate the wetland boundary using soil sampling and certain species of vegetation as key indicators of a wetland environment. However, the vegetation in the project area is limited and its use as an indicator problematic because the area is a part of a native plant restoration project where the “natural” distribution of pickleweed (Batis maritima) has been removed and the native ʻākulikuli encouraged to thrive. ʻĀkulikuli is considered a facultative wetland species that is nearly always found around the margins of coastal wetlands in sand material. Consequently, the area surveyed, with the exception of the muliwai, is difficult to demarcate as a wetland. There are two possible wetland delineations for the project area. The first is based on the acceptance that the soils and plants found at the project site are generally indicative of a coastal wetland, and therefore the boundary of the ʻākulikuli demarcates the wetland area. The second is based on the acceptance that the soils and plants are not natural and have been affected by the native plant restoration efforts in the area, therefore they are not good

Page 53: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

3-9

indications of a wetland and thus the clearest boundary is that of the muliwai shore. While a wetland delineation is not official until accepted by the Corps of Engineers, it is believed that the historical distribution of the wetlands at the mouth of the gulch could be supported based upon the existing topography and distribution of the native coastal plant, ‘ākulikuli.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the long-term, no significant impacts to wetland resources associated with the project site are anticipated during construction or operation of the proposed project.

During construction, as it is difficult to demarcate the boundary of the wetland and jurisdictional waters are uncertain, the County will need to work with the applicable agencies to determine appropriate permitting requirements. the The area of the proposed bypass road based on the distribution of ‘ākulikuli through the two different wetland boundaries would be on the order of 600 square feet (muliwai only) to 4,600 square feet (dune sand dominated by ʻākulikuli). The existing culverts are located within the area designated as the muliwai. A DOA Nationwide Permit, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and a WQC, issued by the DOH, pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act will be required. In conjunction with the Section 401 and 404 permits, a BMP plan will be prepared for construction activities within the project site. Erosion and sediment control measures will be instituted in accordance with site specific assessments, incorporating appropriate structural and/or non-structural BMPs such as minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping, and implementing erosion control measures such as silt fences and filter berms. Specific BMPs may include, but may not be limited to the following:

1. Minimizing soil loss and erosion by revegetation and stabilization of slopes and

disturbed areas of soil, possibly using hydromulch, geotextiles, or other applicable alternatives, as soon as possible after working;

2. Minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping; 3. Application of protective covers to soil and material stockpiles; 4. Minimizing disturbance of soil during periods of heavy rain; 5. Implementing erosion control measures by emplacement of structural controls

such as silt fences, filter berms, gravel bags, fiber rolls, sandbag barriers and other barriers in order to retard and prevent the loss of sediment from the site;

6. Phasing of the project to disturb the minimum area of soil at a particular time; 7. Use of drip pans beneath vehicles not in use in order to trap vehicle fluids; 8. Routine maintenance of BMPs by adequately trained personnel; 9. Significant leaks or spills, if they occur, shall be properly cleaned up and disposed

of at an approved site. Dewatering may be required for the proposed project. Should dewatering be deemed necessary, the contractor will be responsible to obtaining all applicable permits including, but not limited to, an NPDES Permit for Dewatering Activities. The permit application will require a BMP plan, an erosion control plan, and a water quality monitoring plan. Water quality impacts associated with the disposal of dewatering

effluent will also be addressed in the BMP plan, including appropriate characterization of any potential pollutants such as sediments and nutrients in the effluent. Following construction, the wetland area is areas affected by the temporary road and bridge are proposed to be restored to its existing conditions.

3.3.3 Groundwater The State Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), Commission on Water Resource Management (CWRM) has established a groundwater hydrologic unit and coding system for groundwater resource management. The proposed project site is located within the Central Aquifer Sector Area which is comprised of four (4) Aquifer System Areas identified as Kahului, Pāʻia, Makawao, and Kamʻaole. The project site is located within the Kamaʻole Aquifer System (60304) area which is a regionally extensive brackish aquifer extending from North Kīhei to Mākena. The Kamaʻole Aquifer System yields 11 million gallons per day (mgd).

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short- or long-term, no significant impacts to groundwater resources associated with the project site are anticipated during construction or operation of the proposed project. Construction activities are not likely to introduce to, nor release from the soil any materials which could adversely affect groundwater. Construction material wastes will be appropriately disposed of to prevent leaching.

3.3.4 Coastal Waters The nearest coastal water offshore of the project site is Māʻalaea Bay, located approximately 0.05-miles west of the project site. Pursuant to Hawai‘i Administrative Rules (HAR) Title 11, Chapter 54, Water Quality Standards, the coastal waters in the vicinity of the project site are classified as Class A marine waters. Class A marine waters are recognized as waters to be used for “recreational purposes and aesthetic enjoyment to be protected. These waters shall not act as receiving waters for any discharge which has not received the best degree of treatment or control compatible with the criteria established for this class”. A Water Quality and Biological Survey report was prepared by AECOS Inc. in March 2013 (revised January 2015) for the proposed project site (refer to Appendix B). In addition to surveying the water quality of Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch, coastal waters directly offshore of Kalepolepo Beach were also surveyed. It was determined that the coastal waters fronting Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch may also be impaired. The water quality, as monitored by DOH Station Kalepolepo Beach (ID H1000141), just south of the gulch mouth is reported as impaired for total nitrogen, nitrate+nitrite, ammonia, turbidity, and chlorophyll. Water quality data from 2008 to present show that marine waters fronting the gulch were nutrient, sediment, and chlorophyll laden, well oxygenated and had a pH near 8.10.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures No short- or long-term significant impacts on coastal waters in the project vicinity are anticipated during construction or operation of the proposed project. Construction activities will involve land-disturbing activities, such as grubbing, clearing, grading, and excavation that may result in some soil erosion and potential

3-11

construction-related impacts to the quality of surface and coastal waters in the greater project vicinity. Various mitigative measures will be incorporated into the project’s construction plan to minimize soil disturbances and potential short-term erosion impacts during construction activities. Excavation and grading activities associated with construction of the proposed improvements will be regulated by the County’s grading ordinance. A DOA Nationwide Permit, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and a WQC, issued by the DOH, pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act will be required. In conjunction with the Section 401 and 404 permits, a BMP plan will be prepared for construction activities within the project site. Erosion and sediment control measures will be instituted in accordance with site specific assessments, incorporating appropriate structural and/or non-structural BMPs such as minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping, and implementing erosion control measures such as silt fences and filter berms. Specific BMPs may include, but may not be limited to the following:

1. Minimizing soil loss and erosion by revegetation and stabilization of slopes and

disturbed areas of soil, possibly using hydromulch, geotextiles, or other applicable alternatives, as soon as possible after working;

2. Minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping; 3. Application of protective covers to soil and material stockpiles; 4. Minimizing disturbance of soil during periods of heavy rain; 5. Implementing erosion control measures by emplacement of structural controls

such as silt fences, filter berms, gravel bags, fiber rolls, sandbag barriers and other barriers in order to retard and prevent the loss of sediment from the site;

6. Phasing of the project to disturb the minimum area of soil at a particular time; 7. Use of drip pans beneath vehicles not in use in order to trap vehicle fluids; 8. Routine maintenance of BMPs by adequately trained personnel; 9. Significant leaks or spills, if they occur, shall be properly cleaned up and disposed

of at an approved site. Following construction, exposed soils at the project site will have been built over, paved over, or re-vegetated to control erosion. Dewatering may be required for the proposed project. Should dewatering be deemed necessary, the contractor will be responsible to obtaining all applicable permits including, but not limited to, an NPDES Permit for Dewatering Activities. The permit application will require a BMP plan, an erosion control plan, and a water quality monitoring plan. Water quality impacts associated with the disposal of dewatering effluent will also be addressed in the BMP plan, including appropriate characterization of any potential pollutants such as sediments and nutrients in the effluent. In the long-term, as the proposed culverts will be constructed at a 0.5% slope, the drainage capacity will increase slightly from essentially 204 cfs to 306 cfs. In the event of a 100-year storm, this increase in capacity will increase the likelihood of storm flows breaking through the sand plug. This could slightly relieve some of the upstream flooding, but may slightly increase flows past the sand plug.

3.4 Natural Hazards

3.4.1 Flood and Tsunami Hazard According to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) (Community Panel Numbers 1500030586F and 1500030567F, Effective Date: September 19, 2012) prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the project site is designated Zone VE and Zone AE (see Figure 3-3). Zone VE includes areas with a 1% or greater chance of flooding and have an additional hazard associated with storm waves. In general, these areas have a 26% chance of flooding over the life of a 30-year mortgage. Zone AE is characterized as a “special flood hazard area subject to inundation by the 1% annual chance flood.” Zone AE is also a “floodway,” in which “the channel of the stream plus any adjacent floodplain areas that must be kept free of the encroachment so that the 1% annual chance flood can be carried without substantial increases in flood height.” The 1% annual flood is also commonly referred to as the 100-year flood or the base flood. According to the Tsunami Evacuation Zone maps for Maui, the project site lies entirely within the tsunami evacuation zone (see Figure 3-4).

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short- and long-term, no significant impacts on flood hazards in the project area are anticipated as the proposed improvements are not anticipated to increase flood risks or cause any adverse flood-related impacts at the project site or lower elevation properties. Construction activities within the respective flood hazard districts will be conducted in accordance with regulations set forth in Section 19.62.060, Maui County Code. Before construction of any development begins within any flood hazard area, flood-related erosion hazard area, or mudslide area, a special flood hazard area development permit shall be obtained from the Director of the Department of Planning. The project will also comply with the rules and regulations for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) present in Title 44, of the Code of Federal Regulations (44CFR), as the project is within a Special Flood Hazard Area.

3.5 Natural Environment

3.5.1 Flora A Water Quality and Biological Survey for the project site was conducted by AECOS Inc. in March 2013 (revised January 2015) (refer to Appendix B). The findings of the botanical survey are summarized below. The botanical survey found that plant growth is sparse over much of the area, or otherwise consists of a ground cover of ʻākulikuli (Sesuvium portulacastrum) that is dense in some

locations. Less prominent and mostly south of the muliwai, is an area with seaside heliotrope (Heliotropium curssavicum). A total of 15 plant species were identified in the project vicinity and all were identified as flowering plants. It is important to note that typically in most lowland areas on Maui, the native and Polynesian plant numbers are not more than 10 to 16 percent of the total species identified from a location. At the Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch mouth, 60 percent are native or early Polynesian introduced plants. While this situation is unusual, it is due to the area being maintained as a native plant restoration project. The area is served by a pipe irrigation system with sprinkler heads, suggesting some current or prior level of artificial watering. While native ʻākulikuli and ʻakiʻaki are plants associated with coastal dune and muliwai environments, it is unknown to what extent the vegetation patterns have been influenced to their present state by the native planting and maintenance activities. It would be expected that the estuarine area would be dominated by pickleweed (Batis maritimus), as this non-native species is found throughout the Kīhei area as coastal wetlands, however, it is noted as rare in the project area. The dune areas support ʻakiʻaki (Sporobolus virginicus), a native grass common to this habitat. Non-native species are uncommon or rare in the survey area except for a grove of kiawe (Prosopis pallida) located on the makai side of South Kīhei Road. The native ʻākia (Wikstroemia usa-urvi) has been planted on a low dune.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures No short- or long-term significant impacts on flora species are anticipated due to the construction and operation of the proposed project as there are no rare, threatened, or endangered flora species located within or adjacent to the project site. There are also no federally designated Critical Habitats within or adjacent to the project site. However, as the area is being cared for by a community group with a strong interest in preserving the native flora at this location, it is recommended that the bypass road area be restored back to the appropriate native plants once construction is completed and the temporary bypass road removed.

3.5.2 Fauna A Water Quality and Biological Survey for the project site was conducted by AECOS Inc. in March 2013 (revised January 2015) (refer to Appendix B). The findings of the biological survey are summarized below. Aquatic Resources: The aquatic biota observed during the September 2012 survey of Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch estuary included a mixture of native and naturalized (non-native) species. Native species observed included āholehole, ‘ama‘ama (Mugil cephalus), and ‘alamihi crab (Metopograspus thuhukar). Non-native species included mixed Mixed schools of Cuban mollies (Limia vittata) and hybrid mollies (Poecilia sp.), swim just beneath the water surface near the South Kīhei Road crossing. Blackchin tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron), and Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis massambicus) and mullet (Mugil cephalus) are also present in schools throughout the muliwai. Shore crabs (Metopograpsus thuhukar) crawl among the ‘ākulikuli along the muliwai margins and on the culverts. All these species are common inhabitants of estuarine waters in the main Hawaiian Islands. Rambur's forktail (Ischnura ramburi), a naturalized damselfly typically common at low elevations, also utilizes the project area.

Page 60: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

3-16

Though the reach of the gulch typically containing water is short, it is possible that native ‘o‘opu ‘akupa (Eleotris sandwicensis) and ‘ōpaekala‘ole (Macrobrachium grandimanus) not observed during the survey may utilize the brackish environment near the project site. Any population present is likely limited in size by the continual blockage of the gulch mouth by deposited sand, as these diadromous species need passage to the open ocean as larva and passage upstream to brackish waters as post‐larva to carry out their life cycle. Avian Resources: The findings of the survey are consistent with the location of the property, and the habitats present on and adjacent to the site. A total of 23 individual six water obligate avian species, of six different species, representing six separate families, were recorded during the survey. All but one of the six water bird species detected are native species. One of these species, the Hawaiian Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus knudseni), is an endangered endemic sub‐species protected under both federal and state endangered species statutes. One stilt was recorded foraging in the muliwai approximately 30 feet makai of the culvert just behind the beach. Thirteen others were recorded flying over the site from north‐to‐south. Another of these species, the Black‐crowned Night‐Heron (Nycticoraxnycticorax hoactli), is a resident indigenous species found widespread across the islands that utilizes a wide range of waterside environments. The three others, the Pacific Golden‐Plover (Pluvialis fulva), the Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpres) and the Wandering Tattler (Tringa incana) are indigenous migratory shorebird species that nest in the high Arctic during the late spring and summer months, returning to Hawai‘i and the Tropical Pacific to spend the fall and winter months each year. They usually leave Hawai‘i for the trip back to the Arctic in late April or the very early part of May each year. The remaining species, the Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis), is alien to the Hawaiian Islands. Although no seabirds were detected during this survey, it is probable that both endangered Hawaiian Petrel (Pterodroma sandwichensis) and threatened endemic sub‐species of Newell’s Shearwater (Puffinus auricularis newelli) overfly the project area between April and the middle of December each year. Both species have been recorded flying to and from their nesting colonies located in the mountains mauka of the project site. Both of these pelagic seabird species nest high in the mountains in burrows excavated under thick vegetation, especially uluhe (Dicranopteris linearis) fern. There is no suitable nesting habitat for either of these seabird species on or close to the project site. It is also probable that Wedge‐tailed Shearwaters (Puffinus pacificus) may occasional overfly the site during the breeding season as they nest in coastal areas in the general Kīhei area. Wedge‐tailed Shearwaters are not protected under the endangered species act, but are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act as well as under the State of Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Division of Forestry and Wildlife’s Administrative Rules Chapter 13, Section 124, which prohibits injuring or killing indigenous wildlife.

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

3-17

Mammalian Resources: No mammalian species currently protected or proposed for protection under either the federal or State of Hawai‘i endangered species programs were detected during the course of the survey. The findings of the mammalian survey are consistent with the location of the property and the habitat currently present on the site. Although no rodents were recorded it is likely that some, if not all, of the four established alien muridae found on Maui, roof rat (Rattus r. rattus), Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus), and possibly Polynesian rats (Rattus exulans hawaiiensis) and European house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) use various resources found within the general project area on a seasonal basis. All of these introduced rodents are deleterious to native ecosystems and the native faunal species dependent on them. No Hawaiian hoary bats were detected during the course of this survey. Given the habitat present on the site, any usage of the area by this species would be of an incidental foraging nature as there are no suitable roosting trees for this species on or within the vicinity of the project site.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures No long-term impacts to fauna are anticipated as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed project. Aquatic Resources: No impacts on aquatic or marine biota are anticipated as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed project. No rare, threatened or endangered aquatic species are located within or adjacent to the project site. There are also no federally designated Critical Habitats within or adjacent to the project site. Avian Resources: Potential impacts to listed avian species include temporary disturbance by construction activity of individual birds that may be attracted to the area to forage, and although very unlikely, possibly nest. Nesting may occur in areas away from the construction footprint mauka of the culvert and may be disturbed by construction activities to the point of abandoning the nest which is considered harassment under the Endangered Species Act. The probability of this scenario can be lessened by constructing the bypass road outside of the nesting season, forcing discriminating reproductive pairs to locations upslope of the temporary road. The primary cause of mortality in the three aforementioned seabirds is thought to be predation by alien mammalian species at the nesting colonies. Collision with man‐made structures is considered to be a second significant cause of mortality of these seabird species in Hawai‘i. Nocturnally flying seabirds, especially fledglings on their way to sea in the summer and fall, can become disoriented by exterior lighting on the ground. When disoriented, these birds may collide with manmade structures, and if not killed outright, become injured and easy targets of opportunity for feral mammals. The two main areas that outdoor lighting could pose a threat to these nocturnally flying seabirds is if, 1) during construction it is deemed expedient, or necessary to conduct nighttime construction activities, 2) following build‐out, the potential operation of streetlights and security lighting during the seabird nesting season. As the proposed project does not involve the installation of any new street

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

3-18

lighting nor is any night work anticipated during the construction of the project, no significant impacts to seabirds are anticipated as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed project. If night‐time construction activity or equipment maintenance is proposed during the construction phases of the project, all associated lights should be properly shielded, and when large flood/work lights are used, they should be placed on poles that are high enough to allow the lights to be pointed directly at the ground. Immediately prior to the initiation of construction a qualified biologist should survey the areas mauka of the project site to determine if any nesting stilt are present. If nesting stilt are found, the project will need to consult with the USFWS over appropriate measures and or conditions that may need to be met to ensure that construction activity does not harm or harass nesting stilts. Mammalian Resources: The principal potential impact that development activities pose to bats is during the clearing and grubbing phases of construction as vegetation is removed. The removal of vegetation within a construction project site may temporarily displace individual bats, which may use the vegetation as a roosting location. During the pupping season, females carrying their pups may be less able to rapidly vacate a roost site while the vegetation is being cleared. Additionally, adult female bats sometimes leave their pups in the roost tree when they forage. Very small pups may be unable to flee a tree that is being felled. Potential adverse effects from such disturbance can be avoided or minimized by not clearing woody vegetation taller than 4.6 meters (15‐feet), between June 15 and September 15, the period in which bats are potentially at risk from vegetation clearing. As there is no suitable bat roosting habitat within or close to the project site, it is not expected that the proposed project will result in impacts to this listed species.

3.6 Historic and Archaeological Resources An Archaeological Literature Review and Field Inspection for the project site was conducted by Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i, Inc. in October 2012 to evaluate the presence of significant historic properties within the project site. The archaeological literature review included studies of archival sources, historic maps, Land Commission Awards (LCA) and previous archaeological reports to construct a history of land use and to determine if archaeological resources have been recorded on or near the project site. A field inspection of the project area followed to identify any surface archaeological resources and to investigate and assess the potential for impact to such sites. The inspection also sought to identify any sensitive areas that may require further investigation or mitigation before the project proceeds. The Archaeological Literature Review and Field Inspection report is included in Appendix C and is summarized below. Archaeological projects in the vicinity of the project site identified both pre-Contact and post-Contact site types, many of which were associated with the sugar plantation era and plantation camps, ranching and World War II (WWII) periods in history. Pre-Contact archaeological sites associated with traditional Hawaiian agriculture have also been discovered in the vicinity surrounding the project site.

Previous archaeological studies have led to archaeological interpretation based on the division of the settlement pattern for Maui into three zones: 1) coastal; 2) barren or transitional; and 3) inland. The coastal zone is an approximately one-fourth of a mile wide band running along the shoreline. The inland zone begins approximately five to seven miles from the shoreline and is characterized by larger rainfall accumulation and more lush vegetation. The transitional or barren zone is classified as the area between the edge of the coastal zone and the beginning of the inland zone and characterized by brush/scrub vegetation and low annual rainfall accumulation. Based on available archaeological evidence and interpretations, and as a result of the settlement pattern, site types expected for coastal zones, where temporary habitations related to marine exploration may be present, may include stacked-stone enclosures, and possibly smaller ceremonial structures, such as stacked-stone fishing shrines. It is possible that human burials would have been interred in the coastal sand dunes where present. The current project area has experienced ground disturbances as a result of construction of the South Kīhei Road and natural events associated with the surrounding stream and wetland environment, including periodic flooding. In particular, flooding events have caused repeated and extensive damage to the existing bridge over the years. As a result of these disturbances, the likelihood of locating intact cultural deposits or archeological remains would be low. Conversely, the project area borders Kalepolepo and may have been considered part of a village once located there. Kalepolepo village became a major hub of historic activity in the mid-1800’s. Several historically significant places, such as the Koa House, the David Malo Memorial Church, and the Kalepolepo fishpond were located there. Portions of the fishpond have recently been restored. Additionally, due to the coastal location and dune sand environment, human remains could be present in sandy deposits of the project area. Field inspections were conducted in August 2012. The area inspected included the immediate area of Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge located at the mouth of Kūlanihāko‘i Stream along South Kīhei Road as well as an area approximately 500 feet north and 500 feet south of the bridge along South Kīhei Road and approximately 574 feet upstream and 272 feet downstream from the bridge. The Kalepolepo fishpond is located directly south of the stream mouth in the near shore ocean waters. In recent history, the surrounding area has been transformed by the development of resorts and condominiums along the shoreline. During the field inspection, scattered remains of two domestic cows (Bos taurus) were observed in the flood plain, however, no historically significant cultural material was visible on the ground surface. Based on the background research and the results of the field inspection, it was concluded that the area has been heavily disturbed and modified by natural flooding events as well as historic and modern activities. During a field visit on December 13, 2012 with Theresa Donham (Archaeology Branch Chief), an archaeological inventory survey of the lands covering the extent of the APE of the proposed detour bridge was recommended. An archaeological inventory survey was

Page 64: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

3-20

conducted by Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i, Inc. dated June 2013. A copy is included as Appendix D. Findings are summarized below. The survey included shovel testing and pipe coring which enabled mapping a general stratigraphy of the project to a depth of approximately 10 feet below ground surface. Two soil samples were submitted for pollen analysis. One historic property within the project area is the Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge itself. The bridge has been given a site number (SIHP 50-50-10-7606). The bridge was constructed in 1911 and consisted of four individual reinforced concrete box culverts. The paving surface over the existing culverts was applied in the 1930’s. This included some shoring-up of the edge of the roadway using a historic construction style attributed to pre-1940’s plantation masons. The present day Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge appears to consist of two sections of prefabricated concrete culvert welded together to form the length of the existing bridge. A more modern construction style probably occurred because of the many repairs the bridge had undergone due to storm damage. Presently, the northern and southern wing walls have different construction styles. The northern wall is constructed of water rounded large basalt cobbles with a coarse concrete mortar typical of early 1900’s construction methods while the southern wall is a modern day rip-rap construction style where the basalt has been cut to form a level surface and modern concrete has replaced original material. Through shovel testing and pipe coring, a general stratigraphy of the project to a depth of 10 feet below ground surface was formulated. Pollen analysis of two samples collected from Stratum IV and VI in Pipe Core 1 provide a record of earlier vegetation. Poaceae pollen is dominant in both samples, accompanied by moderate quantities of various types of Asteraceae pollen indicating that the area may, indeed, be best described as having been a grassland that also supported many plants in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). Prosopis pollen was observed in both samples. Pollen representing other alien plants including Australian pine, filaree, and koa haole, was present only in stratum IV. The pollen record is one of vegetation typical in dry areas and may best be described as mixed grassland. The presence of Sporormiella dung fungal spores in Stratum IV reflects use of some of the land on the leeward slopes of Haleakalā for grazing. The Stratum VI sample contained Zea mays pollen which is evidence of the growth of corn in the Kula area of Maui. Corn was grown as a field crop for horses and cattle on Maui, particularly in the Kula District. Pests and mosaic disease, as well as the fact that corn was not well integrated into the local diet, eventually led to a reduction in acres devoted to this crop after 1928. Corn grown at higher elevations and then transported down the Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch with the sediment is probably responsible for recovery of this pollen. The study was able to establish that at least the first 10 feet of sediment can be attributed to historic alluvium from Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch. This is generally consistent with the information

Page 65: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

3-21

collected by Geolabs, the geotechnical engineer, for this project. They recorded a dark gray clay silt to a depth of 10 feet above the grayish tan coralline sand.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures Based on the field inspection findings and background research from the Archaeological Literature Review and Field Inspection Report, there is a low potential for the discovery of previously unidentified historic properties beyond the historic era itself. The area surrounding the bridge includes the Kūlanihāko‘i Stream mouth, a natural wetland and associated flood plain. While impacts by flooding episodes and modifications associated with road construction and maintenance have greatly altered sediments of the project areas, the possibility of encountering intact subsurface cultural deposits, including human burials, should not be underestimated. Therefore, archaeological monitoring is recommended for all ground disturbing activities during all phases of the temporary bridge and bypass road work and bridge replacement. It is also recommended that a monitoring report be generated after the construction of the temporary bridge and bypass road and the replacement bridge. A As noted earlier, a site inspection was conducted on December 13, 2012 by SHPD and Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i. Based on the site inspection, SHPD requested that an Archaeological Inventory Survey (AIS) be prepared for the project site. The AIS is currently pending and will be submitted to SHPD for approval when it has been completed. Subsequent consultation with SHPD, by letter dated February 1, 2013, indicated that they have concerns that the project area is located within a zone of beach sand dune and Aeolian sand deposits which are known to contain human burial features and historic habitation sites. It is therefore likely that historic properties, including human remains, may be present beneath the previously disturbed road grade and sub-grade or within previously unaffected areas of the right-of-way. SHPD requested that all project associated excavations be monitored by a qualified archaeologist in order to identify and mitigate any subsurface cultural features and deposits. They further recommend that an archaeological monitoring plan be submitted to their office for review and approval prior to initiation of this project. Should any significant archeological, cultural, or historic resources be found during construction activities, all work will cease in the vicinity of the find and SHPD will be notified immediately to determine appropriate mitigation measures.

With regard to the bridge itself, the structure was constructed in 1911 and is now 102 105 years old. It is therefore considered a historic property and recordation of the bridge would be required under Chapter 13-275, Hawai‘i Administrative Rules if deemed eligible based on SHPD’s evaluation of the bridge’s significance. Consultation with SHPD, by letter dated December 20, 2012, indicated that while the bridge is unique due to age and represents the first generation of concrete bridges in the islands, it is literally falling apart and has lost any distinguishing architectural characteristics. On this basis SHPD has determined that the bridge has lost its integrity and is not eligible to be recorded on the State Inventory of Historic Properties. Therefore, the proposed project will have no effect on historic property.

The archaeological inventory survey noted that the Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge (SIHP 50-50-10-7606) has yielded information important to the understanding of the first generation of concrete bridges in the Hawaiian Islands. SIHP -7606 is thus considered significant under Criterion D. Sufficient information concerning SIHP -7606 was collected during the investigation. Based on the additional research, no further work is recommended for the bridge. The archaeological inventory survey also noted that while subsurface testing was not done beneath South Kīhei Road, boring logs from the Geolabs report recorded the presence of coralline sand around 12 feet below the surface of the road. The presence of this type of sediment deposit may present the potential for encountering sensitive cultural resources in a subsurface context. Monitoring of the culvert removal by a qualified archaeologist is thus recommended. By letter dated June 25, 2014, the SHPD noted that the archaeological inventory survey meets the requirements of Hawai‘i Administrative Rule Section 13-276 and is accepted as final. Refer to Appendix D.

3.7 Air Quality The State of Hawai‘i Department of Health (DOH), Clean Air Branch, monitors the ambient air in the State for various gaseous and particulate air pollutants. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for six criteria pollutants: carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, lead, ozone, and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2). Hawai‘i has also established a state ambient air standard for hydrogen sulfide. The primary purpose of the statewide monitoring network is to measure ambient air concentrations of these pollutants and ensure that these air quality standards are met. Air pollution in Hawai‘i is caused by many different man-made and natural sources. There are industrial sources of pollution, such as power plants and petroleum refineries; mobile sources, such as cars, trucks and buses; agricultural sources, such as sugar cane burning, and natural sources, such as windblown dust and volcanic activity. The DOH Clean Air Branch is responsible for regulating and monitoring pollution sources to ensure that the levels of criteria pollutants remain well below the State and federal ambient air quality standards. The State maintains two air monitoring stations on the island of Maui, one in Kīhei and one in Pāʻia. Both stations monitor for particulate matter (PM2.5) less than or equal to 2.5 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3). Current readings from the Kīhei station indicate that the concentration of PM2.5 is well below Federal air quality standards. There are no State standards for PM2.5. Although there is very little information available, air quality at the project site is generally considered to be good due to the presence of abundant tradewinds throughout most of the year.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short-term, during construction of the proposed project, two potential types of air pollution emissions will likely occur, resulting in air quality impacts: 1) airborne dust

Page 67: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

3-23

from construction activities such as grading and excavation within the project site; and 2) exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment from the project site.

Potential air quality impacts during construction of the Preferred Alternative will be mitigated by complying with the State DOH Administrative Rules, Title 11, Chapter 60 “Air Pollution Control”. The construction contractor is responsible for complying with the State DOH regulations which prohibit visible dust emissions at property boundaries. Compliance with State regulations will require adequate measures to control airborne dust by methods such as water spraying and sprinkling of loose or exposed soil or ground surface areas and dust-generating equipment during construction. As may be deemed appropriate, planting of landscaping as soon as possible on completed areas will also help to control dust. Increased vehicular emissions due to disruption of traffic by construction equipment and/or commuting construction workers can be alleviated by moving the equipment and personnel to the site during off-peak hours. Exhaust emissions from construction vehicles are anticipated to have negligible impact on air quality in the project vicinity as the emissions would be relatively small and readily dissipated. In the long-term, operation of the project will have no significant long-term impact on ambient air quality in the project vicinity. Air quality levels would be most affected by vehicular emissions generated by project-related traffic, however, the elevated vehicular emission concentrations are anticipated to dissipate.

3.8 Noise Ambient noise in the project area is predominantly attributed to vehicular traffic traveling along South Kīhei Road and adjacent roadways. Also contributing to the acoustic environment is noise from low pitch sounds of waves along the coast, wind and birds.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short-term, noise from construction activities such as excavation, grading, cutting, and paving will be unavoidable. The increase in noise level will vary according to the particular phase of construction. Noise may also increase as a result of operation of heavy vehicles and other power equipment during the construction period. Construction noise impacts will be mitigated by compliance with provisions of the State DOH Administrative Rules, Title 11, Chapter 46, “Community Noise Control” regulations. These rules require a noise permit if the noise levels from construction activities are expected to exceed the allowable levels stated in the DOH Administrative Rules. It shall be the contractor’s responsibility to minimize noise by properly maintaining noise mufflers and other noise-attenuating equipment, and to maintain noise levels within regulatory limits. Also, the guidelines for heavy equipment operation and noise curfew times, as set forth by the DOH noise control rules, will be adhered to; or if necessary, a noise permit shall be obtained. In the long-term, no significant noise impacts are anticipated once the construction of the proposed project has been completed. Since the project is not expected to

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

3-24

increase roadway capacity or travel demand, ambient noise levels in the vicinity should not change significantly.

3.9 Traffic In the vicinity of the project site, South Kīhei Road is a predominantly two-lane, two-way roadway generally oriented in the north-south direction that provides access through Kīhei. A Traffic Assessment Report (TAR) was prepared for the proposed project by Wilson Okamoto Corporation in December 2012. The purpose of the TAR is to assess traffic operating conditions resulting from the proposed project, and to identify recommendations, if appropriate, that would mitigate the traffic impacts. The TAR is included in Appendix D and is summarized below. Field investigations were conducted in October 2012 and consisted of a 24-hour mechanical count survey near the existing Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge. The highway capacity analysis performed in this TAR is based on procedures presented in the “Highway Capacity Manual”, Transportation Research Board, 2010, and the “Highway Capacity Software”, developed by the Federal Highway Administration. The analysis is based on the concept of Level of Service (LOS), a quantitative and qualitative assessment of traffic operations. LOS are defined by LOS “A” through “F”, with LOS “A” representing ideal or free-flow traffic operating conditions and LOS “F” representing unacceptable or potentially congested traffic operating conditions. “Volume to Capacity” (v/c) ratio is another measure indicating the relative traffic demand to the road carrying capacity. A v/c ratio of one (1.00) indicates that the roadway is operating at near capacity. A v/c ratio greater than 1.00 indicated that the traffic demand exceeds the road’s carry capacity. In the vicinity of the project site, the morning peak hour of traffic generally occurs between 7:15 and 8:15 AM while the afternoon peak hour generally occurs between 4:30 and 5:30 PM. Near the existing Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge, South Kīhei Road carries 574 vehicles northbound and 443 vehicles southbound during the AM peak period. During the PM peak period, traffic volumes are higher with 657 vehicles traveling northbound and 581 vehicles traveling southbound. The northbound direction of traffic operates at LOS “D” during both peak periods with a v/c ratio of 0.37 and 0.40 during the AM and PM peak periods, respectively. The southbound direction of traffic operates at LOS “C” with a v/c ratio of 0.29 during the AM peak period and at a LOS “D” with a v/c ratio of 0.35 during the PM peak period.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures Traffic conditions were forecasted to year 2015, the anticipated completion date of the project. Prior to the removal of the existing bridge, a two-lane, two-way temporary bypass road and bridge will be constructed mauka of the existing bridge to accommodate traffic along South Kīhei Road during construction. The peak hour traffic conditions

Page 69: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

3-25

during this interim construction period are summarized in Table 3-1. The existing LOS is provided for comparison purposes. Under interim conditions, traffic operations along South Kīhei Road are generally expected to remain similar to existing conditions due to the maintenance of the existing number of travel lanes. The northbound direction of traffic is expected to continue operating at LOS “D” during both peak periods with v/c ratios similar to existing conditions. The southbound direction of traffic is expected to operate at a slightly lower LOS”D” during the AM peak period, but the v/c ratios for that direction are expected to remain similar to existing conditions during both peak periods.

Table 3-1 Existing and Interim LOS Traffic Operating Conditions

Northbound LOS D D D D v/c ratio 0.37 0.37 0.40 0.40 Southbound LOS C D D D v/c ratio 0.29 0.29 0.35 0.35

The replacement of Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge is expected to be completed by the Year 2015. The 2015 peak traffic conditions with the new bridge are summarized in Table 3-2. The existing levels of service are provided for comparison purposes.

Table 3-2 Existing and Year 2015 Traffic Operating Conditions

Northbound LOS D D D D v/c ratio 0.37 0.4 0.40 0.43 Southbound LOS C D D D v/c ratio 0.29 0.31 0.35 0.38

Under Year 2015 conditions, traffic operations along South Kīhei Road are generally expected to remain similar to existing conditions despite the anticipated ambient growth in traffic due to the provision of wider travel lanes and shoulder areas along this segment of South Kīhei Road. The northbound direction of traffic is expected to continue operating at LOS “D” during both peak hours with v/c ratios of 0.40 and 0.43 during the AM and PM peak periods, respectively. The southbound direction of traffic

Page 70: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

3-26

is also expected to operate at LOS “D” during both peak periods with v/c ratios of 0.31 and 0.38 during the AM and PM peak periods, respectively. Based on the analysis of the traffic data, the following recommendations should be implemented in conjunction with the proposed project:

1. Provide sufficient sight distances for motorists to safely navigate the proposed temporary bypass road and bridge.

2. Provide sufficient turning radii along the temporary bypass road and bridge to accommodate all anticipated vehicle types. If the provision of these radii is not technically feasible, consider restriction of larger vehicles along this segment of South Kīhei Road and the provision of a detour utilizing Piʻilani Highway.

3. Prepare a Construction Traffic Management Plan to minimize the impact of construction activities on the surrounding roadways.

Traffic operations during the interim construction period and once the project is complete in Year 2015 are anticipated to remain similar to existing conditions. As such, the proposed project is not expected to have a significant impact on traffic in the project vicinity. In addition, recommendations have been provided to ensure that the temporary detour road and bridge can safely accommodate existing traffic during construction and minimize the impact of construction activities on the surrounding roadways. The proposed temporary bridge and bypass road on the mauka side of South Kīhei Road has been designed to accommodate larger vehicles such as buses and fire trucks. However, there are limitations to semi-trailers which would need to be re-routed during construction of the replacement bridge. The replacement bridge will be designed to accommodate all vehicle types. During the construction of the tie-in between the temporary bypass road and the existing South Kīhei Road there will be a period of time (approximately two weeks) when South Kīhei Road will need to be closed. During this time, vehicles are planned to be detoured through Piʻilani Highway.

3.10 Visual Resources Hawai‘i’s visual resources are an important component of the state’s tourism industry and of the quality of life enjoyed by the state’s residents. The state’s visual resources include a broad range of natural and developed areas and a tremendous variety of land uses, water bodies, and vegetation types. The slopes of Haleakalā are visible from the project site, with the West Maui Mountains visible to the northwest. The County of Maui’s Maui Island Plan identifies South Kīhei Road in the vicinity of the project site as a “medium” scenic corridor.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short-term, a temporary bypass road and bridge are being proposed on the mauka side of the existing roadway. This use will be generally similar in visual

Page 71: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

3-27

character to that of the emergency temporary bridge over the existing culverts. Compared to the existing culverts, the temporary bridge on the mauka side of South Kīhei Road would provide a higher view object (approximately 14 feet) for individuals utilizing South Kīhei Road or in close proximity to this portion of the road. However, the temporary bridge and bypass road are necessary in order to maintain usage of this portion of South Kīhei Road during construction of the replacement Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge. Once the new bridge is constructed, the temporary bypass road and bridge will be removed. In the long-term, the proposed replacement bridge is not anticipated to have significant impacts on notable view planes nor adversely affect important public viewing points or visual resources. As an already existing roadway and bridge, the project will not significantly change the scenic and visual character of the surrounding area.

3.11 Socio-Economic Characteristics The project site is located within the Kīhei Census Designated Place (CDP). Demographic and other information was reviewed from the U.S. Census 2010 for the Kīhei CDP and the County of Maui and is shown on Table 3-3. Based upon the data shown on the table, Kīhei CDP has a slightly younger population than the County of Maui. The median age of the population for Kīhei CDP was 38.4 versus 39.6 for the County. By racial mix, the Kīhei CDP has a higher percentage of Whites (50.7%) than the County (34.4%). Kīhei CDP also has a slightly lower percentage of Asians (21.7%) and those of two or more races (16.3%) than the County (28.8% and 23.5%, respectively). These three races (Whites, Asians and those with two or more races) make up the majority of the population. Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders comprise a slightly lower proportion than the County as a whole, with 6.5% and 10.4%, respectively. According to the 2010 Census, Kīhei CDP has a slightly lower housing occupancy rate, 67.5%, than the County, 76.6%. Housing units in this region are evenly occupied by both renters (52.0%) and owners (48.0%). The County data differs slightly to that of the Kīhei CDP data in that the proportion of housing units are occupied more by owners than renters (55.8% and 44.2%, respectively).

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short- term, construction expenditures will provide positive benefits to the local economy. This would include creation of some construction and construction support jobs, and the purchase of materials from local suppliers, as well as indirect benefits to local retail businesses resulting from construction activities.

In the long-term, the proposed project will replace the existing deteriorating bridge, which will create safer access over Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge. In addition, the roadway improvements to South Kīhei Road will create safer pedestrian and bicycle access that will benefit the public who travel along this route.

3.12 Public Services and Facilities

3.12.1 Police and Fire Protection Police protection in the project area is provided by the County of Maui Police Department (MPD). The project area is a part of District VI, which covers the Kīhei-Mākena region and is was served by a substation located at the Kīhei Town Center, approximately 2.2 miles from the project site. In addition, MPD is currently located within the proposing a new Kīhei Police Station to be located mauka of Piʻilani Highway near its intersection with Kanani Road approximately 3.3 miles from the project site. Fire prevention, protection is provided by the County of Maui, Department of Fire and Public Safety. The project area is served by the Kīhei Fire Station located on South Kīhei Road near Kalama Park approximately 2.1 miles south of the project site. The Wailea Fire Station, located approximately 4.9 miles to the south of the project site, provides back up support for the Kīhei Station when required.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short- and long-term, no significant impacts or increased demand on police and fire services resulting from the project are anticipated. The proposed project will replace the current, deteriorating bridge and enhance safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians along this section of roadway. No additional vehicular lanes are proposed that could increase roadway capacity or traffic flow. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to induce population growth and associated demands on police and fire protection. During construction of the temporary bypass road and bridge and the new Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge, access through South Kīhei Road will be maintained at existing levels of service, therefore, the proposed project is not anticipated to have significant impacts on fire and police access through the project site.

3.12.2 Health Care Services The only major medical facility on the island is the Maui Memorial Medical Center, which is located in Wailuku, approximately 11.3 miles from the project site. The 231 bed facility provides general, acute, and emergency care services. Various clinics and physician’s offices are situated throughout the Kīhei and Wailea areas, however, these facilities provide medical services on a smaller scale. Clinics within the project vicinity include Kīhei Clinic and Wailea Medical Services, Kīhei Pediatric Clinic, Kīhei Physicians, Kīhei-Wailea Medical Center, Maui Medical Group, and Kaiser Permanente.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short- and long-term, no significant impacts or increased demand on medical services are anticipated. The proposed project will replace the current, deteriorating bridge and enhance safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians along this section of roadway. No additional vehicular lanes are proposed that could increase roadway capacity or traffic flow. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to induce population growth and associated demands on medical facilities and services.

3.12.3 Education The project site is located within the State Department of Education’s (DOE) Baldwin-Kekaulike-Maui complex area which includes Kamali‘i Elementary School, Kīhei Elementary School, Lokelani Intermediate, and Kīhei Public Charter School. The closest education facility to the project site is Kīhei Public Charter School located 0.7 miles northeast from the project site. Kīhei Public Charter School serves children from kindergarten to 12th grade. The other schools within the project vicinity are all located over one mile away from the project site.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short- and long-term, no significant impacts or increased demand on educational facilities are anticipated. The proposed project will replace the current, deteriorating bridge and enhance safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians along this section of roadway. No additional vehicular lanes are proposed that could increase roadway capacity or traffic flow. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to induce population growth and associated demands on medical facilities and services. During construction of the temporary bypass road and bridge and the new Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge, access through South Kīhei Road will be maintained at existing levels of service, therefore, the proposed project is not anticipated to have significant impacts on students who travel along this route to and from school.

In the long-term, safer pedestrian and bicycle access over Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge will benefit students who travel along this route.

3.12.4 Recreational Facilities The County has several parks located in the project vicinity. The nearest County recreational facility to the project site is the 1.5 acre Kalepolepo Beach Park, located approximately 500 feet west of the project site along South Kīhei Road. Located approximately 0.25 miles north of the project site is the 5.3 acre Mai Poina Oʻe Iaʻu Beach Park. Amenities available at this park include parking, picnic areas, and restrooms. Further south of the project site is the 20.22 acre Kīhei Beach Reserve, also known as Waipu‘ilani Park located approximately 0.5 miles from the project site. Amenities available at this park include restrooms, a soccer field, and tennis courts. Other recreational facilities in the project vicinity include the Kīhei Community Center and Aquatic Center, as well as resort affiliated, world-class golf courses and tennis centers.

3-31

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short- and long-term, no significant impacts or increased demand on recreational facilities in the project vicinity are anticipated. The proposed project will replace the current, deteriorating bridge and enhance safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians along this section of roadway. No additional vehicular lanes are proposed that could increase roadway capacity or traffic flow. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to induce population growth and associated demands on recreational facilities and parks.

3.12.5 Solid Waste Collection and Disposal The County of Maui, Environmental Management Solid Waste Division Refuse Collection Program collects residential solid waste in the project vicinity. On an island-wide basis, solid waste from residential properties is disposed at three landfill locations: Central Maui Sanitary Landfill, Olowalu residential Recycling & Refuse Convenience Center, and Hāna Sanitary Landfill. Construction waste is disposed at Maui Construction & Demolition Landfill. Refuse collection for non-single family residential properties are provided by private refuse companies.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short- and long-term, no significant impacts to municipal solid waste collection and disposal facilities are anticipated during the construction of the proposed project. Construction of the proposed project will generate solid waste typical of roadway construction related activities over the short-term. The contractor will be required to remove all debris from the site, and properly dispose of it at the Maui Construction and Demolition Landfill in conformance with County regulations.

3.13 Infrastructure and Utilities

3.13.1 Water System Water service in the Kīhei-Mākena area is provided by the County of Maui Department of Water Supply (DWS). The DWS serves five main sections within the County; Central Maui, Upcountry Maui, West Maui, East Maui, and Molokaʻi. The project area is a part of the Central Maui system which includes Wailuku, Pāʻia, Kahului, Puʻunēnē, and Kīhei. Within the project site, there is an existing 12-inch waterline located within the right-of-way of South Kīhei Road.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short-term, as the new culverts extend further across South Kīhei Road than the existing culverts, a portion of the existing 12-inch waterline will need to be replaced under the new culverts. All relocation work will be coordinated with DWS prior to construction. In the long-term, the project is not anticipated to result in increased demand on the water system in the area. The proposed project will replace the current, deteriorating bridge and enhance safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians along this section of roadway. No additional vehicular lanes are proposed that could increase roadway

Page 76: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

3-32

capacity or traffic flow. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to induce population growth and associated demand on water. The proposed project is not anticipated to require using water on a regular basis.

3.13.2 Wastewater System Wastewater service in the Kīhei area is provided by the County of Maui Department of Environmental Management. The Kīhei Wastewater Reclamation facility is responsible for handling all wastewater needs in the Kīhei area. Wastewater flows from the area are conveyed through a series of force mains, pump stations, and gravity lines to the reclamation facility for processing. Within the vicinity of the project site there is a 30-foot wide sewer line easement located adjacent to the South Kīhei Road right-of-way. Within the easement lies a 27-inch sewer pipeline.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short- and long-term, the proposed project is not anticipated to result in increased demand on the wastewater system in the area. The proposed project will replace the current, deteriorating bridge and enhance safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians along this section of roadway. No additional vehicular lanes are proposed that could increase roadway capacity or traffic flow. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to induce population growth and associated demand on the wastewater system. The proposed project will not generate any wastewater and the existing wastewater pipeline is not proposed to be altered. Construction plans for the project will be circulated to the Department of Environmental Management for review.

3.13.3 Drainage System According to the County of Maui’s Draft Report, Kīhei Drainage Master Plan Waiakoa Gulch to Kilohana Drive Existing Conditions, dated April 2009, there are eight different flood districts in the Kīhei region. The Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge is located in the Kūlanihāko‘i District, which is the largest district in the region that extends from an area adjacent to the summit of Haleakalā down to the ocean. For the Kūlanihāko‘i District, runoff flows from a 100-year storm event are contributed by six drainage areas; Piʻilani Basins 5, 6, 7, and 8 and Makai Basins Kula 2_1 and Kula 2_2. All runoff flows eventually discharge into Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch where they continue to flow toward South Kīhei Road and the existing four culverts. For a 100-year storm event, at the point where the flows reach the existing culverts, the total flow for the 100-year storm event is approximated at 14,148 cfs. In addition, sand dunes which accumulate downstream of the gulch cause flooding problems and backwater effects during heavy storm events. A Drainage Report for the project site was prepared by Wilson Okamoto Corporation in March 2013. The Drainage Report is included in Appendix E and is summarized below. For a 100-year storm event, calculations show that the downstream elevations of the existing culverts are slightly higher than the upstream elevations, which may be caused by the accumulating sand dunes which prevent runoff from flowing out to the ocean and causing backwater effects that flood neighboring properties. Results also show that the existing culverts are not capable of handling large volumes of runoff which leads to runoff overtopping

Page 77: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

3-33

the roadway. The existing culverts currently have no drainage capacity as they are essentially level with the surrounding area. This in turn, along with the presence of the sand plug, creates a pooling effect in which water rises and fills the area rather than allowing the water to flow.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short- and long-term, no significant impacts are anticipated on the existing storm drainage system as a result of the construction and operation as the proposed project itself will not generate any additional runoff In the short-term, the temporary bridge on the mauka side of the existing bridge would have a drainage capacity of 705 cfs as the finished grade of the temporary bypass bridge would be approximately three feet above the top bank of the existing drainageway. Based on this runoff value, it was determined that the largest storm event that the temporary bypass bridge could handle would be a 1-year, 24 hour storm event. The location and the elevation of the temporary bridge is constrained due to the physical location of the project area, making it difficult to raise the bridge over the drainageway to accommodate a greater volume of flow. For a 100-year storm event, the temporary bridge is likely to be flooded due to large amounts of runoff flowing from upstream. In addition, the sand dunes would continue to impede the ability of the runoff to flow out to the ocean and continue to cause backwater effects that flood neighboring properties. For the temporary bridge to accommodate a 100-year storm event, the bridge would have to be raised. However, due to the physical constraints of the project site, raising the bridge would increase the slope of the bypass road, making it too steep for vehicles to travel on. In the long-term, as the project involves increasing the number of culverts from four to six culverts and constructing them at a 0.5% slope, the proposed replacement bridge will provide an incremental increase in drainage capacity from 204 cfs to 306 cfs. This increase in drainage capacity would not be enough to accommodate the 100-year storm event. The new culverts would still be incapable of handling large volumes of runoff from severe storm events. In addition, the sand dunes would continue to impede the ability of the runoff to flow out to the ocean. Though the proposed project does slightly increase drainage capacity, the purpose of the project is to replace the deteriorating culverts and is not intended to address flooding issues on a regional basis.

3.13.4 Electrical and Communications Systems Electrical power on the island of Maui is provided by Maui Electric Company (MECO), a subsidiary of Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. The electrical source for the project area is the Māʻalaea Power Plant. Telephone service in the Kīhei area, like the rest of the State, is provided by Hawaiian Telcom. Oceanic Time Warner Cable of Hawai‘i is the local CATV provider in the region.

Within the project site, two electrical overhead utility poles are located in the right-of-way on the mauka side of South Kīhei Road.

Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the short-term, the two electrical poles will need to be relocated as they are currently located where the paved walkway is being proposed. All relocation work will be coordinated with MECO prior to construction. In the long-term, the proposed project is not anticipated to significantly impact or increase demand on electrical and communication systems in the area. The proposed project will replace the current, deteriorating bridge and enhance safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians along this section of roadway. No additional vehicular lanes are proposed that could increase roadway capacity or traffic flow. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to induce population growth and associated demand for electric and communication services. The proposed project is not anticipated to require electrical and communication services for its operation.

4. RELATIONSHIP TO PLANS, POLICIES, AND CONTROLS

This section discusses the State and County of Maui land use plans, policies and controls relating to the proposed project.

4.1 State Land Use Plans and Policies

4.1.1 Hawai‘i State Plan The Hawai‘i State Plan, Chapter 226, HRS, provides goals, objectives, policies, and priorities for the State. The Hawai‘i State Plan also provides a basis for determining priorities, allocating limited resources, and improving coordination of State and County Plans, policies, programs, projects, and regulatory activities. It establishes a set of themes, goals, objectives, and policies that are meant to guide the State’s long-range growth and development activities. The proposed project is consistent with the following applicable objectives and policies: Sec. 226-11 Objectives and policies for the physical environment – land-based, shoreline, and marine resources.

(a) Planning for the State’s physical environment with regard to land-based shoreline, and marine resources shall be directed towards achievement of the following objectives:

(1) Prudent use of Hawai‘i’s land-based, shoreline, and marine resources. (2) Effective protection of Hawai‘i’s unique and fragile environmental

resources. (b) To achieve the land-based, shoreline, and marine resources objectives, it shall be

the policy of this State to:

(3) Take into account the physical attributes of areas when planning and designing activities and facilities.

(4) Manage natural resources and environs to encourage their beneficial and

multiple use without generating costly or irreparable environmental damage.

(6) Encourage the protection of rare or endangered plant and animal species

and habitats native to Hawai‘i. (8) Pursue compatible relationships among activities, facilities, and natural

resources. Discussion: Construction activities will involve land-disturbing activities, such as grubbing, clearing, grading, and excavation that may result in some soil erosion and potential construction-related impacts to the quality of surface and coastal waters in the greater project vicinity. Various mitigative measures will be incorporated into the project’s construction plan

Page 81: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

4-2

to minimize soil disturbances and potential short-term erosion impacts during construction activities. Excavation and grading activities associated with construction of the proposed improvements will be regulated by the County’s grading ordinance. A DOA Nationwide Permit, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and a WQC, issued by the DOH, pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act will be required. In conjunction with the Section 401 and 404 permits, a BMP plan will be prepared for construction activities within the project site. Erosion and sediment control measures will be instituted in accordance with site specific assessments, incorporating appropriate structural and/or non-structural BMPs such as minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping, and implementing erosion control measures such as silt fences and filter berms. Specific BMPs may include, but may not be limited to the following:

1. Minimizing soil loss and erosion by revegetation and stabilization of slopes and disturbed areas of soil, possibly using hydromulch, geotextiles, or other applicable alternatives, as soon as possible after working;

2. Minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping; 3. Application of protective covers to soil and material stockpiles; 4. Minimizing disturbance of soil during periods of heavy rain; 5. Implementing erosion control measures by emplacement of structural controls such

as silt fences, filter berms, gravel bags, fiber rolls, sandbag barriers and other barriers in order to retard and prevent the loss of sediment from the site;

6. Phasing of the project to disturb the minimum area of soil at a particular time; 7. Use of drip pans beneath vehicles not in use in order to trap vehicle fluids; 8. Routine maintenance of BMPs by adequately trained personnel; 9. Significant leaks or spills, if they occur, shall be properly cleaned up and disposed of

at an approved site. The proposed project is not anticipated to have any long-term impacts to land-based, shoreline, and marine resources. Following construction, exposed soils at the project site will have been built over, paved over, or re-vegetated to control erosion. Dewatering may be required for the proposed project. Should dewatering be deemed necessary, the contractor will be responsible to obtaining all applicable permits including, but not limited to, an NPDES Permit for Dewatering Activities. The permit application will require a BMP plan, an erosion control plan, and a water quality monitoring plan. Water quality impacts associated with the disposal of dewatering effluent will also be addressed in the BMP plan, including appropriate characterization of any potential pollutants such as sediments and nutrients in the effluent. Sec. 226-17 Objective and policies for facility systems – transportation.

(a) Planning for the State’s facility systems with regard to transportation shall be directed towards the achievement of the following objectives:

(1) An integrated multi-modal transportation system that services statewide needs and promotes the efficient, economical, safe, and convenient movement of people and goods.

Discussion: The proposed project will replace the current, deteriorating bridge and enhance safety for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians along this section of roadway by providing an exclusive bike lane and paved walkway on the mauka side of the road. In addition, the makai side of the bridge and immediately adjacent areas will accommodate a bike lane and paved walkway. Improvements to additional segments can be implemented if and when future improvements are pursued on the makai side of South Kīhei Road.

4.1.2 State Land Use District The State Land Use Law, Chapter 205, HRS, is intended to preserve, protect and encourage the development of lands in the State for uses that are best suited to the public health and welfare of Hawai‘i’s people. Under Chapter 205, HRS all lands in the State of Hawai‘i are classified by the State Land Use Commission (LUC) into four major categories referred to as State Land Use Districts. These districts are identified as the Urban District, Agricultural District, Conservation District, and Rural District.

The LUC’s Land Use District Boundary map for the Island of Maui depicts the lands within the project area as being designated within the State Urban District (see Figure 4-1). Permitted uses within the State Urban district are prescribed under Title 12, Chapter 205 (Land Use Commission), HRS, and the State Land Use Commission’s Administrative Rules prescribed under Title 15, Subtitle 3, Chapter 15 HAR. Pursuant to §15-15-24, HAR, pertaining to permissible uses within the Urban District, permitted uses include any and all uses permitted by the counties, either by ordinances or rules, and are subject to any conditions imposed by the Land Use Commission pursuant to Section 205-4.5, HRS. Since roadways, such as the proposed project, are considered an incidental use that is permitted in each of the County’s zoning districts, the proposed project is a permitted use within the Urban District.

4.1.3 Hawai‘i Coastal Zone Management Program The National Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Program was created through passage of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972. Hawai‘i’s CZM Program, adopted as Chapter 205A, HRS, provides a basis for protecting, restoring and responsibly developing coastal communities and resources. The Hawai‘i CZM area includes all lands within the State and the areas seaward to the extent of the State’s management jurisdiction. Hence, the proposed project site is located in the CZM area. A discussion of the project’s consistency with the objectives and policies of the CZM Program is provided below. (1) Recreational Resources

Objective: Provide coastal recreational opportunities accessible to the public.

Policies: (A) Improve coordination and funding of coastal recreational planning and

management; and

(i) Provide adequate, accessible, and diverse recreational opportunities in the

coastal zone management area by: Protecting coastal resources uniquely suited for recreational activities that cannot be provided in other areas;

(ii) Requiring replacement of coastal resources having significant recreational value, including but not limited to surfing sites, fishponds, and sand beaches, when such resources will be unavoidably damaged by development; or requiring reasonable monetary compensation to the state for recreation when replacement is not feasible or desirable;

(iii) Providing and managing adequate public access, consistent with conservation of natural resources, to and along shorelines with recreational value;

(iv) Providing an adequate supply of shoreline parks and other recreational facilities suitable for public recreation;

(v) Ensuring public recreational use of county, state, and federally owned or controlled shoreline lands and waters having recreational value consistent with public safety standards and conservation of natural resources;

(vi) Adopting water quality standards and regulating point and nonpoint sources of pollution to protect, and where feasible, restore the recreational value of coastal waters.

(vii) Developing new shoreline recreational opportunities, where appropriate, such as artificial lagoons, artificial beaches, and artificial reefs for surfing and fishing; and

(viii) Encouraging reasonable dedication of shoreline areas with recreational value for public use as part of discretionary approvals or permits by the land use commission, board of land and natural resources, and county authorities; and crediting such dedication against the requirements of section 46-6.

The proposed project, at its closest point, is located approximately 120 72-feet from the draft certified shoreline.

In the short-term, storm water runoff may carry increased amounts of sediment into the storm drain system due to erosion from soils exposed during excavation and grading activities. This runoff could potentially impact the water quality of coastal waters in the area. However, excavation and grading activities associated with the construction of the proposed project will be regulated by the County’s grading ordinance.

A DOA Nationwide Permit, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and a WQC, issued by the DOH, pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act will be required. In conjunction with the Section 401 and 404 permits, a BMP plan will be prepared for construction activities within the project site. Erosion and sediment control measures will be instituted in accordance with site specific assessments, incorporating appropriate structural and/or non-structural BMPs such as minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping, and implementing erosion control measures such as silt fences and filter berms. Specific BMPs may include, but may not be limited to the following:

Page 85: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

4-6

1. Minimizing soil loss and erosion by revegetation and stabilization of slopes and disturbed areas of soil, possibly using hydromulch, geotextiles, or other applicable alternatives, as soon as possible after working;

2. Minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping; 3. Application of protective covers to soil and material stockpiles; 4. Minimizing disturbance of soil during periods of heavy rain; 5. Implementing erosion control measures by emplacement of structural controls such

as silt fences, filter berms, gravel bags, fiber rolls, sandbag barriers and other barriers in order to retard and prevent the loss of sediment from the site;

6. Phasing of the project to disturb the minimum area of soil at a particular time; 7. Use of drip pans beneath vehicles not in use in order to trap vehicle fluids; 8. Routine maintenance of BMPs by adequately trained personnel; 9. Significant leaks or spills, if they occur, shall be properly cleaned up and disposed of

at an approved site. Following construction, exposed soils at the project site will have been built over, paved over, or re-vegetated to control erosion. Dewatering may be required for the proposed project. Should dewatering be deemed necessary, the contractor will be responsible to obtaining all applicable permits including, but not limited to, an NPDES Permit for Dewatering Activities. The permit application will require a BMP plan, an erosion control plan, and a water quality monitoring plan. Water quality impacts associated with the disposal of dewatering effluent will also be addressed in the BMP plan, including appropriate characterization of any potential pollutants such as sediments and nutrients in the effluent. In the long-term, as the proposed culverts will be constructed at a 0.5% slope, the drainage capacity will increase slightly from 204 cfs to 306 cfs. In the event of a 100-year storm, this increase in capacity will increase the likelihood of storm flows breaking through the sand plug. This could slightly relieve some of the upstream flooding, but may slightly increase flows past the sand plug. No significant impacts are anticipated on recreational resources. (2) Historic Resources

Objective: (A) Protect, preserve and, where desirable, restore those natural and manmade

historic and prehistoric resources in the coastal zone management area that are significant in Hawaiian and American history and culture.

Policies: (A) Identify and analyze significant archaeological resources; (B) Maximize information retention through preservation of remains and artifacts or

salvage operations; and (C) Support state goals for protection, restoration, interpretation, and display of

historic resources.

An Archaeological Literature Review and Field Inspection (LR&FI) for the project site was conducted for the property in December 2012. Based on the field inspection findings and

Page 86: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

4-7

background research, there is a low potential for the discovery of previously unidentified historic properties beyond the historic era itself. The area surrounding the bridge includes the Kūlanihākoʻi Stream mouth, a natural wetland and associated flood plain. While impacts by flooding episodes and modifications associated with road construction and maintenance have greatly altered sediments of the project areas, the possibility of encountering intact subsurface cultural deposits, including human burials, should not be underestimated. Therefore, the LR&FI recommended that archaeological monitoring be conducted is recommended for all ground disturbing activities during all phases of the temporary bridge and bypass road work and bridge replacement. It is also recommended that a monitoring report be generated after the construction of the temporary bridge and bypass road and the replacement bridge.

A site inspection was conducted on December 13, 2012 by SHPD and Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i. Based on the site inspection, SHPD requested that an AIS be prepared for the project site. The AIS is currently pending and will be submitted to SHPD for approval when it has been completed. Subsequent consultation with SHPD, by letter dated February 1, 2013, indicated that they have concerns that the project area is located within a zone of beach sand dune and Aeolian sand deposits which are known to contain human burial features and historic habitation sites. It is therefore likely that historic properties, including human remains, may be present beneath the previously disturbed road grade and sub-grade or within previously unaffected areas of the right-of-way. SHPD requested that all project associated excavations be monitored by a qualified archaeologist in order to identify and mitigate any subsurface cultural features and deposits. They further recommend that an archaeological monitoring plan be submitted to their office for review and approval prior to initiation of this project.

Should any significant archeological, cultural, or historic resources be found during construction activities, all work will cease in the vicinity of the find and SHPD will be notified immediately to determine appropriate mitigation measures.

During a field visit on December 13, 2012 with Theresa Donham (Archaeology Branch Chief), an archaeological inventory survey of the lands covering the extent of the APE of the proposed detour bridge was recommended. An archaeological inventory survey was conducted by Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i, Inc. dated June 2013.

The survey included shovel testing and pipe coring which enabled mapping a general stratigraphy of the project to a depth of approximately 10 feet below ground surface. Two soil samples were submitted for pollen analysis.

One historic property within the project area is the Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge itself. The bridge has been given a site number (SIHP 50-50-10-7606). The bridge was constructed in 1911 and consisted of four individual reinforced concrete box culverts. The paving surface over the existing culverts was applied in the 1930’s. This included some shoring-up of the edge of the roadway using a historic construction style attributed to pre-1940’s plantation masons. The present day Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge appears to consist of two sections of prefabricated concrete culvert welded together to form the length of the existing bridge. A more modern construction style probably occurred because of the many repairs the bridge had undergone due to storm damage.

Page 87: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

The study was able to establish that at least the first 10 feet of sediment can be attributed to historic alluvium from Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch. This is generally consistent with the information collected by Geolabs, the geotechnical engineer, for this project. They recorded a dark gray clay silt to a depth of 10 feet above the grayish tan coralline sand.

Like the LR&FI, the inventory survey notes that there is a low potential for the discovery of previously unidentified historic properties beyond the historic era itself. The area surrounding the bridge includes the Kūlanihāko‘i Stream mouth, a natural wetland and associated flood plain. While impacts by flooding episodes and modifications associated with road construction and maintenance have greatly altered sediments of the project areas, the possibility of encountering intact subsurface cultural deposits, including human burials, should not be underestimated. Therefore, archaeological monitoring is recommended for all ground disturbing activities during all phases of the temporary bridge and bypass road work and bridge replacement. It is also recommended that a monitoring report be generated after the construction of the temporary bridge and bypass road and the replacement bridge.

With regard to the bridge itself, the structure was constructed in 1911 and is now 102 105 years old. It is therefore considered a historic property and recordation of the bridge would be required under Chapter 13-275, Hawai‘i Administrative Rules if deemed eligible based on SHPD’s evaluation of the bridge’s significance. Consultation with SHPD, by letter dated December 20, 2012, indicated that while the bridge is unique due to age and represents the first generation of concrete bridges in the islands, it is literally falling apart and has lost any distinguishing architectural characteristics. On this basis, SHPD has determined that the bridge has lost its integrity and is not eligible to be recorded on the State Inventory of Historic Properties. Therefore, the proposed project will have no effect on historic property.

The archaeological inventory survey noted that the Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge (SIHP 50-50-10-7606) has yielded information important to the understanding of the first generation of concrete bridges in the Hawaiian Islands. SIHP -7606 is thus considered significant under Criterion D. Sufficient information concerning SIHP -7606 was collected during the investigation. Based on the additional research, no further work is recommended for the bridge.

The archaeological inventory survey also noted that while subsurface testing was not done beneath South Kīhei Road, boring logs from the Geolabs report recorded the presence of coralline sand around 12 feet below the surface of the road. The presence of this type of sediment deposit may present the potential for encountering sensitive cultural resources in a subsurface context. Monitoring of the culvert removal by a qualified archaeologist is thus recommended.

By letter dated June 25, 2014, the SHPD noted that the archaeological inventory survey meets the requirements of Hawai‘i Administrative Rule Section 13-276 and is accepted as final. Refer to Appendix D.

(3) Scenic and Open Space Resources

Objective: (A) Protect, preserve, and where desirable, restore or improve the quality of

coastal scenic and open space resources. Policies: (A) Identify valued scenic resources in the coastal zone management area; (B) Ensure that new developments are compatible with their visual environment

by designing and locating such developments to minimize the alteration of natural landforms and existing public views to and along the shoreline;

(C) Preserve, maintain, and, where desirable, improve and restore shoreline open space and scenic resources; and

(D) Encourage those developments which are not coastal dependent to locate in inland areas.

In the short-term, a temporary bypass road and bridge are being proposed on the mauka side of the existing roadway. This use will be generally similar in visual character to that of the temporary bridge over the existing culverts. Compared to the existing culverts, the temporary bridge on the mauka side of South Kīhei Road would provide a higher view object (approximately 14 feet) for individuals utilizing South Kīhei Road or in close proximity to this portion of the road. However, the temporary bridge and bypass road are necessary in order to maintain usage of this portion of South Kīhei Road during construction of the replacement Kūlanihākoʻi Bridge. Once the new bridge is constructed, the temporary bypass road and bridge will be removed.

In the long-term, the proposed replacement bridge is not anticipated to have significant impacts on notable view planes nor adversely affect important public viewing points or visual resources. As an already existing roadway and bridge, the project will not significantly change the scenic and visual character of the surrounding area.

(4) Coastal Ecosystems

Objective: (A) Protect valuable coastal ecosystems, including reefs, from disruption and

minimize adverse impacts on all coastal ecosystems. Policies: (A) Exercise an overall conservation ethic, and practice stewardship in the

protection, use, and development of marine and coastal resources; (B) Improve the technical basis for natural resource management; (C) Preserve valuable coastal ecosystems, including reefs, of significant biological

or economic importance; (D) Minimize disruption or degradation of coastal water ecosystems by effective

regulation of stream diversions, channelization, and similar land and water uses, recognizing competing water needs; and

(E) Promote water quantity and quality planning and management practices that reflect the tolerance of fresh water and marine ecosystems and maintain and

enhance water quality through the development and implementation of point and nonpoint source water pollution control measures.

The proposed project, at its closest point, is located approximately 120 72-feet from the draft certified shoreline.

In the short-term, storm water runoff may carry increased amounts of sediment into the storm drain system due to erosion from soils exposed during excavation and grading activities. This runoff could potentially impact the water quality of coastal waters in the area. However, excavation and grading activities associated with the construction of the proposed project will be regulated by the County’s grading ordinance. A DOA Nationwide Permit, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and a WQC, issued by the DOH, pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act will be required. In conjunction with the Section 401 and 404 permits, a BMP plan will be prepared for construction activities within the project site. Erosion and sediment control measures will be instituted in accordance with site specific assessments, incorporating appropriate structural and/or non-structural BMPs such as minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping, and implementing erosion control measures such as silt fences and filter berms. Specific BMPs may include, but may not be limited to the following:

2. Minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping; 3. Application of protective covers to soil and material stockpiles; 4. Minimizing disturbance of soil during periods of heavy rain; 5. Implementing erosion control measures by emplacement of structural controls such

as silt fences, filter berms, gravel bags, fiber rolls, sandbag barriers and other barriers in order to retard and prevent the loss of sediment from the site;

6. Phasing of the project to disturb the minimum area of soil at a particular time; 7. Use of drip pans beneath vehicles not in use in order to trap vehicle fluids; 8. Routine maintenance of BMPs by adequately trained personnel; 9. Significant leaks or spills, if they occur, shall be properly cleaned up and disposed of

at an approved site. The proposed project is not anticipated to have any long-term impacts on coastal ecosystems. Following construction, exposed soils at the project site will have been built over, paved over, or re-vegetated to control erosion. Dewatering may be required for the proposed project.

In the long-term, as the proposed culverts will be constructed at a 0.5% slope, the drainage capacity will increase slightly from 204 cfs to 306 cfs. In the event of a 100-year storm, this increase in capacity will increase the likelihood of storm flows breaking through the sand plug. This could slightly relieve some of the upstream flooding, but may slightly increase flows past the sand plug. No significant impacts are anticipated on coastal ecosystems. (5) Economic Uses

Objective: (A) Provide public or private facilities and improvements important to the State’s

economy in suitable locations.

Policies: (A) Concentrate coastal dependent development in appropriate areas; (B) Ensure that coastal dependent developments such as harbors and ports, and

coastal related development such as visitor facilities and energy generating facilities, are located, designed, and constructed to minimize adverse social, visual, and environmental impacts in the coastal zone management area; and

(C) Direct the location and expansion of coastal dependent developments to areas presently designated and used for such developments and permit reasonable long-term growth at such areas, and permit coastal dependent development outside of presently designated areas when:

(i) Use of presently designated locations is not feasible; (ii) Adverse environmental effects are minimized; and (iii) The development is important to the State’s economy.

The proposed project provides the necessary infrastructure to promote the safe and efficient movement of people, goods and services important to the State’s economy. The project will provide direct construction and operational jobs and will also have beneficial secondary economic benefits by promoting the procurement of materials and supplies from local vendors. (6) Coastal Hazards

Objectives: (A) Reduce hazard to life and property from tsunami, storm waves, stream

flooding, erosion, subsidence, and pollution. Policies: (A) Develop and communicate adequate information about storm wave, tsunami,

flood, erosion, subsidence, and point and nonpoint source pollution hazards; (B) Control development in areas subject to storm wave, tsunami, flood, erosion,

hurricane, wind, subsidence, and point and nonpoint pollution hazards; (B) Ensure that developments comply with requirements of the Federal Flood

Insurance Program; (C) Prevent coastal flooding from inland projects.

Page 91: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

4-12

According to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) (Community Panel Numbers 1500030586F and 1500030567F, Effective Date: September 19, 2012) prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the project site is designated Zone VE and Zone AE.

Zone VE includes areas with a 1% or greater change of flooding and have an additional hazard associated with storm waves. In general, these areas have a 26% chance of flooding over the life of a 30-year mortgage.

Zone AE is characterized as a “special flood hazard area subject to inundation by the 1% annual chance flood.” Zone AE is also a “floodway,” in which “the channel of the stream plus any adjacent floodplain areas that must be kept free of the encroachment so that the 1% annual chance flood can be carried without substantial increases in flood height.” The 1% annual flood is also commonly referred to as the 100-year flood or the base flood.

According to the Tsunami Evacuation Zone maps for Maui, the project site lies entirely within the tsunami evacuation zone.

Construction activities within the respective flood hazard districts will be conducted in accordance with regulations set forth in Section 19.62.060, Maui County Code. Before construction of any development begins within any flood hazard area, flood-related erosion hazard area, or mudslide area, a special flood hazard area development permit shall be obtained from the Director of the Department of Planning.

The project will also comply with the rules and regulations for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) present in Title 44, of the Code of Federal Regulations (44CFR), as the project is within a Special Flood Hazard Area.

(7) Managing Development

Objective: (A) Improve the development review process, communication, and public

participation in the management of coastal resource and hazards.

Policies: (A) Use, implement, and enforce existing law effectively to the maximum extent

possible in managing present and future coastal zone development; (B) Facilitate timely processing of applications for development permits and

resolve overlapping or conflicting permit requirements; and (C) Communicate the potential short- and long-term impacts of proposed

significant coastal developments early in their life cycle and in terms understandable to the public to facilitate public participation in the planning and review process.

The Hawai‘i State environmental review process, HRS 343, requires project review by government agencies and affords the public the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed project. The proposed improvements are also subject to the Special Management

Page 92: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

4-13

Area (SMA) permit process. Applicable State and County requirements will be adhered to in the design and construction phases of the proposed improvements. (8) Public Participation

Objective: (A) Stimulate public awareness, education, and participation in coastal

management.

Policies: (A) Promote public involvement in coastal zone management processes; (B) Disseminate information on coastal management issues by means of

educational materials, published reports, staff contact, and public workshops for persons and organizations concerned with coastal issues, developments, and government activities; and

(C) Organize workshops, policy dialogues, and site-specific mediations to respond to coastal issues and conflicts.

The Hawai‘i State environmental review process, Chapter 343, HRS, requires project review by government agencies and affords organizations and the general public the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed project. The proposed improvements are also subject to the SMA and Shoreline Setback Variance permit process as discussed in Section 4.2.23, which includes public notification and a public hearing. (9) Beach Protection

Objective: (A) Protect beaches for public use and recreation. Policies: (A) Locate new structures inland from the shoreline setback to conserve open

space, minimize interference with natural shoreline processes, and minimize loss of improvements due to erosion;

(B) Prohibit construction of private erosion-protection structures seaward of the shoreline, except when they result in improved aesthetic and engineering solutions to erosion at the sites and do not interfere with existing recreational and waterline activities; and

(C) Minimize the construction of public erosion-protection structures seaward of the shoreline.

The proposed project will involve some construction activities within the shoreline setback area and will, therefore, need a shoreline setback variance from the County of Maui Planning Department. The shoreline was re-certified by the Department of Land and Natural Resources on September 18, 2015. Currently, a draft of the certified shoreline is in the process of being reviewed by the State Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR). In accordance with the Shoreline Setback Rules and Regulations for the Maui Planning Commission, the

Page 93: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

4-14

shoreline setback was calculated by utilizing the annual erosion hazard rate (AEHR) erosion based setback line which is located further mauka than the average lot depth based setback line. No portion of the proposed improvements extend makai of the average lot depth based setback line. However, portions of the proposed culverts and the outlet wing walls are located within the AEHR based setback line. The AEHR setback line cuts diagonally across a portion of the proposed six 6’ wide x 4’ high culverts. Approximately 6 feet to 30 feet of makai portions of the culverts are proposed within the AEHR setback line. The remaining mauka portions of the culverts ranging from 54 feet to 20 feet are outside of the AEHR setback line. The Both proposed outlet wing walls adjacent to the southernmost culvert will be located within the AEHR shoreline setback. The dimensions of the wing walls within the shoreline setback are 10-feet long, 6-feet to 2-feet high (the wall will slope towards the ocean), and 1-foot wide. The wing walls is are a part of the culvert structure and is are intended to retain and protect the foundation of South Kīhei Road. Depending on the location of the final certified shoreline, other portions of the project may or may not be located in the shoreline setback, including the outlet wing wall adjacent to the northernmost culvert. Similar to the southern outlet wing wall, the northern outlet wing wall is also part of the culvert structure that is intended to help retain and protect the foundation of South Kīhei Road. The proposed six (6) culverts, two (2) inlet wing walls, and other roadway improvements are located within the existing County right-of-way. These areas have been utilized for roadway and drainage purposes for slightly over a century. In addition, the proposed temporary bridge and bypass road on the mauka side of the existing bridge will be removed and the area would be restored once the permanent culvert improvements are constructed. As the proposed project involved the replacement and upgrade of existing aging infrastructure, the construction and operation of the project is not anticipated to have any significant impacts on beaches for public use and recreation. (10) Marine Resources

Objective: (A) Promote the protection, use, and development of marine and coastal

resources to assure their sustainability.

Policies: (D) Ensure that the use and development of marine and coastal resources are

ecologically and environmentally sound and economically beneficial; (E) Coordinate the management of marine and coastal resources and activities to

improve effectiveness and efficiency; (F) Assert and articulate the interests of the State as a partner with federal

agencies in the sound management of ocean resources within the United States exclusive economic zone;

(G) Promote research, study, and understanding of ocean processes, marine life, and other ocean resources in order to acquire and inventory information necessary to understand how ocean development activities relate to and impact upon ocean and coastal resources; and

Page 94: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

4-15

(H) Encourage research and development of new, innovative technologies for exploring, using, or protecting marine and coastal resources.

The proposed project is not anticipated to have any significant adverse impacts on marine and coastal resources. Potential water quality impacts to nearshore coastal waters during construction of the improvements will be mitigated by adherence to State water quality regulations governing grading, excavation and stockpiling.

In the short-term, storm water runoff may carry increased amounts of sediment into the storm drain system due to erosion from soils exposed during excavation and grading activities. This runoff could potentially impact the water quality of coastal waters in the area. However, excavation and grading activities associated with the construction of the proposed project will be regulated by the County’s grading ordinance.

A DOA Nationwide Permit, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and a WQC, issued by the DOH, pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act will be required. In conjunction with the Section 401 and 404 permits, a BMP plan will be prepared for construction activities within the project site. Erosion and sediment control measures will be instituted in accordance with site specific assessments, incorporating appropriate structural and/or non-structural BMPs such as minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping, and implementing erosion control measures such as silt fences and filter berms. Specific BMPs may include, but may not be limited to the following:

1. Minimizing soil loss and erosion by revegetation and stabilization of slopes and disturbed areas of soil, possibly using hydromulch, geotextiles, or other applicable alternatives, as soon as possible after working;

2. Minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping; 3. Application of protective covers to soil and material stockpiles; 4. Minimizing disturbance of soil during periods of heavy rain; 5. Implementing erosion control measures by emplacement of structural controls such

as silt fences, filter berms, gravel bags, fiber rolls, sandbag barriers and other barriers in order to retard and prevent the loss of sediment from the site;

6. Phasing of the project to disturb the minimum area of soil at a particular time; 7. Use of drip pans beneath vehicles not in use in order to trap vehicle fluids; 8. Routine maintenance of BMPs by adequately trained personnel; 9. Significant leaks or spills, if they occur, shall be properly cleaned up and disposed of

at an approved site. The proposed project is not anticipated to have any significant long-term impacts on marine resources. Following construction, exposed soils at the project site will have been built over, paved over, or re-vegetated to control erosion. Dewatering may be required for the proposed project. Should dewatering be deemed necessary, the contractor will be responsible to obtaining all applicable permits including, but not limited to, an NPDES Permit for Dewatering Activities. The permit application will require a BMP plan, an erosion control plan, and a water quality monitoring plan. Water quality impacts associated with the disposal of dewatering effluent will also be addressed in the

Page 95: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

BMP plan, including appropriate characterization of any potential pollutants such as sediments and nutrients in the effluent.

4.1.4 Complete Streets, Act 54 Session Laws of Hawai‘i 2009 Act 54, Session Laws of Hawai‘i 2009 requires that DOT and county transportation departments ensure the accommodation of all users of the road, regardless of their age, ability, or preferred mode of transportation. It also calls for the creation of a statewide task force to review existing state and county highway design standards and guidelines and requires the DOT and county transportation department to adopt a Complete Streets Policy. Complete streets are defined as “transportation facilities that are planned, designed, operated, and maintained to provide safe access and mobility for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, freight, and motorists, and that are appropriate to the function and context of the facility.” Complete streets principles for Hawai‘i include the following:

• Safety – Plan, design, and construct transportation facilities and land developments to create an environment that reduces risk and supports the safe movement of people and goods by all modes.

• Flexible design – Design transportation facilities using best practices that integrate community values and recognize the importance of the surrounding context and environment.

• Accessibility and mobility for all – Plan and design transportation facilities for ease of use and access to destinations by providing an appropriate path of travel for all users, and enhance the ability to move people and goods throughout the state and its counties.

• Use and comfort of all users – Ensure all users of all abilities including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, and drivers feel comfortable and safe using the transportation system.

• Consistency of design standards and guidelines – Encourage consistent use of national best practices to generate consistency in the application of striping and pavement markings for all users on all islands. References of national best practices include the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials [AASHTO] Green Book).

• Energy efficient – Plan, design, and construct a transportation system that offers transportation choices for residents and visitors and reduces reliance on single-occupant vehicles to improve energy efficiency in travel, and mitigates vehicle emissions.

• Health – Recognize the health benefits in providing alternative mode choices, while acknowledging that some routes may be healthier than others.

• Appropriate funding – Support a jurisdiction’s ability to secure funding for multimodal facilities and provide a framework to consider and pursue funding sources and opportunities.

• Building partnerships with organizations statewide – Build partnerships among the HDOT, the Counties, other governmental agencies, and stakeholders to implement complete streets throughout the state.

• Green infrastructure/streets – Use trees and landscaping as integral components of a Complete Street to provide both human and ecosystem benefits, such as shade, to reduce the urban heat island effect, vegetation for carbon sequestration, reducing/filtering non-point source pollution and sediments, retaining stormwater, increasing groundwater storage recharge, and providing wildlife habitat.

The above policies should be considered on all public highways, roadways, and streets statewide when updating long-term planning documents and/or ordinances and when considering project alternatives. Agency design standards should also be updated to incorporate complete streets principles. Discussion: The proposed project is consistent with the policies of the complete streets. The proposed project will replace the current, deteriorating bridge and provide a bike lane and a paved walkway on the mauka side of the roadway making the area safer for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. In addition, the makai side of the bridge will be built to accommodate a bike lane and paved walkway if and when future improvements are pursued on the makai side of South Kīhei Road. 4.2 County of Maui Land Use Plans and Policies

4.2.1 County of Maui General Plan 2030 The Maui County General Plan is a long-term, comprehensive blueprint for the physical, economic, environmental development and cultural identity of the County. The General Plan is comprised of three parts; The Countywide Policy Plan, The Maui Island Plan, and Community Plans.

4.2.1.1 Countywide Policy Plan

As part of the 2030 Maui County General Plan Update, the County adopted a Countywide Policy Plan in March 2010, which replaces the General Plan of the County of Maui 1990 Update. The Countywide Policy Plan provides broad goals, objectives, policies, and implementing actions that portray the desired direction of the County’s future. This includes: (1) a vision statement and core values for the County to the year 2030; (2) an explanation of the plan-making process; (3) a description and background information regarding Maui County today; (4) identification of guiding principles; and (5) a list of countywide goals, objectives, policies, and implementing actions related to the following themes:

• Protect the Natural Environment • Preserve Local Culture and Traditions • Improve Education • Strengthen Social and Healthcare Services • Expand Housing Opportunities for Residents • Strengthen the Local Economy • Improve Parks and Public Facilities • Diversify Transportation Options • Improve Physical Infrastructure • Promote Sustainable Land Use and Growth Management

• Strive for Good Governance The proposed project is consistent with the following Countywide Policy Plan objectives and policies relating to diversifying transportation options:

H. Diversify Transportation Options

Goal: Maui County will have an efficient, economical, and environmentally

sensitive means of moving people and goods.

Objective: 1. Provide an effective, affordable, and convenient ground-transportation

system that is environmentally sustainable.

Policies: e. Ensure that roadway systems are safe, efficient, and maintained in good

condition. g. Design new road and roadway improvements to retain and enhance the

existing character and scenic resources of the communities through which they pass.

l. Evaluate all alternatives to preserve quality of life before widening roads.

Objective: 2. Reduce the reliance on the automobile and fossil fuels by encouraging

walking, bicycling, and other energy-efficient and safe alternative modes of transportation.

Policies: a. Make walking and bicycling transportation safe and easy between and

within communities. c. Design and retrofit existing rights-of-way with adequate sidewalks, bicycle

lanes, or separated multi-use transit corridors.

Implementing Actions: a. Design, build, and modify existing bikeways to improve safety and

separation from automobiles. Discussion: The proposed project will replace the current, deteriorating bridge and provide a bike lane and a paved walkway on the mauka side of the roadway making the area safer for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. In addition, the makai side of the bridge and immediately adjacent areas will accommodate a bike lane and paved walkway. Improvements to additional segments can be implemented if and when future improvements are pursued on the makai side of South Kīhei Road.

4.2.1.2 Maui Island Plan As part of the 2030 Maui County General Plan Update, the County adopted the Maui Island Plan in December 2012. The Maui Island Plan establishes a pro-active planning process by establishing urban and rural growth areas that indicated where development is intended and will be supported. It is comprised of goals, policies, programs, and actions based on an assessment of current and future needs and available resources. The purpose of the Maui Island Plan is to:

• Assess existing conditions, trends, and issues specific to Maui; • Provide policy direction for the use and development of land, the extension and

improvement of transportation services and infrastructure, the development of community facilities, the expansion of the island’s economic base, the provision of housing, and the protection of natural and cultural resources;

• Establish policies to manage change and to direct decision about future land use and development; and

• Provide the foundation to set capital improvement priorities, revise zoning regulations, and develop other implementation tools.

The proposed project is consistent with or promotes the following Maui Island Plan objectives and policies relating to transportation: Goal: 6.4 An interconnected, efficient, and well maintained, multimodal transportation

system. Objective: 6.4.1 More integrated island-wide transportation and land use planning program that

reduces congestion and promotes more efficient (transit-friendly) land use patterns.

Policies: 6.4.1.a Plan for an integrated multi-modal transportation system comprised of public

transit, bicycle, pedestrian, automobile, and other transportation modes. Objective: 6.4.2 Safe, interconnected transit, roadway, bicycle, equestrian, and pedestrian

network. Policies: 6.4.2.d Identify and improve hazardous and substandard sections of roadways,

drainage infrastructure, and bridges, provided that the historical integrity of the roads and bridges are protected.

Discussion: The proposed project will replace the current, deteriorating bridge and provide a bike lane and a paved walkway on the mauka side of the roadway making the area safer for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. In addition, the makai side of the bridge and

Page 99: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

immediately adjacent areas will accommodate a bike lane and paved walkway. Improvements to additional segments can be implemented if and when future improvements are pursued on the makai side of South Kīhei Road. 4.2.1.3 Kīhei-Mākena Community Plan The Kīhei-Mākena Community Plan is one of the nine Community Plans for Maui County that reflects current and anticipated conditions in the Kīhei-Mākena region. The Kīhei-Mākena Community Plan provides specific recommendations to address the goals, objectives, and polices contained in the General Plan, while recognizing the values and unique attributes of the Kīhei-Mākena area in order to enhance the region’s overall living environment. According to the Kīhei-Mākena Community Land Use Map, the project site is designated as open space (OS) and park (see Figure 4-2). The OS designation is intended to limit development on certain urban and non-urban designated lands which may be inappropriate for intensive development due to environmental, physical, or scenic constraints; this category includes, but is not limited to shoreline buffer areas, landscape buffers, drainageways, view planes, flood plains, and tsunami areas. The park designation applies to land developed or to be developed for recreational use. This includes all public and private active and passive parks. The proposed project is consistent with these designations as the proposed project is a roadway which is considered to be an incidental use by the County.

In addition, the proposed project is consistent with the Kīhei-Mākena Community Plan goals, objectives, policies, and implementing actions as follows:

Environment

Goal

Preservation, protection, and enhancement of Kīhei-Mākena’s unique and fragile environmental resources.

Objectives and Policies

b. Preserve, protect and restore unique natural areas with significant conservation values.

f. Protect all wetland resources, such as those at Keālia Pond and near Road ‘C.” These open space and wildlife habitat resources are important for flood control and for their natural beauty.

Discussion: Construction activities will involve land-disturbing activities, such as grubbing, clearing, grading, and excavation that may result in some soil erosion and potential construction-related impacts to the quality of surface and coastal waters in the greater project vicinity. Various mitigative measures will be incorporated into the project’s construction plan to minimize soil disturbances and potential short-term erosion impacts during construction activities. Excavation and grading activities associated with construction of the proposed improvements will be regulated by the County’s grading ordinance.

A DOA Nationwide Permit, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and a WQC, issued by the DOH, pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act will be required. In conjunction with the Section 401 and 404 permits, a BMP plan will be prepared for construction activities within the project site. Erosion and sediment control measures will be instituted in accordance with site specific assessments, incorporating appropriate structural and/or non-structural BMPs such as minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping, and implementing erosion control measures such as silt fences and filter berms. Specific BMPs may include, but may not be limited to the following:

1. Minimizing soil loss and erosion by revegetation and stabilization of slopes and disturbed areas of soil, possibly using hydromulch, geotextiles, or other applicable alternatives, as soon as possible after working;

2. Minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping; 3. Application of protective covers to soil and material stockpiles; 4. Minimizing disturbance of soil during periods of heavy rain; 5. Implementing erosion control measures by emplacement of structural controls such

as silt fences, filter berms, gravel bags, fiber rolls, sandbag barriers and other barriers in order to retard and prevent the loss of sediment from the site;

6. Phasing of the project to disturb the minimum area of soil at a particular time; 7. Use of drip pans beneath vehicles not in use in order to trap vehicle fluids; 8. Routine maintenance of BMPs by adequately trained personnel; 9. Significant leaks or spills, if they occur, shall be properly cleaned up and disposed of

at an approved site. The proposed project is not anticipated to have any long-term impacts to land-based, shoreline, and marine resources. Following construction, exposed soils at the project site will have been built over, paved over, or re-vegetated to control erosion. The wetland area is proposed to be restored back to its existing conditions. Dewatering may be required for the proposed project. Should dewatering be deemed necessary, the contractor will be responsible to obtaining all applicable permits including, but not limited to, an NPDES Permit for Dewatering Activities. The permit application will require a BMP plan, an erosion control plan, and a water quality monitoring plan. Water quality impacts associated with the disposal of dewatering effluent will also be addressed in the BMP plan, including appropriate characterization of any potential pollutants such as sediments and nutrients in the effluent.

Cultural Resources

Goal

Identification, preservation, enhancement, and appropriate use of cultural resources, cultural practices, and historic sites that:

a. Provides a sense of history and defines a sense of place for the Kīhei-Mākena region

Objectives and Policies

Page 102: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

4-23

a. Identify, preserve, protect and restore historical and cultural sites.

b. Protect those areas, structures and elements that are a significant and functional part of Hawai‘i’s ethnic and cultural heritage.

Discussion: An Archaeological Literature Review and Field Inspection for the project site was conducted for the property in December 2012. Based on the field inspection findings and background research, there is a low potential for the discovery of previously unidentified historic properties beyond the historic era itself. The area surrounding the bridge includes the Kūlanihākoʻi Stream mouth, a natural wetland and associated flood plain. While impacts by flooding episodes and modifications associated with road construction and maintenance have greatly altered sediments of the project areas, the possibility of encountering intact subsurface cultural deposits, including human burials, should not be underestimated. Therefore, archaeological monitoring is recommended for all ground disturbing activities during all phases of the temporary bridge and bypass road work and bridge replacement. It is also recommended that a monitoring report be generated after the construction of the temporary bridge and bypass road and the replacement bridge.

During a field visit on December 13, 2012 with Theresa Donham (Archaeology Branch Chief), an archaeological inventory survey of the lands covering the extent of the APE of the proposed detour bridge was recommended. An archaeological inventory survey was conducted by Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i, Inc. dated June 2013.

The survey included shovel testing and pipe coring which enabled mapping a general stratigraphy of the project to a depth of approximately 10 feet below ground surface. Two soil samples were submitted for pollen analysis.

One historic property within the project area is the Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge itself. The bridge has been given a site number (SIHP 50-50-10-7606). The bridge was constructed in 1911 and consisted of four individual reinforced concrete box culverts. The paving surface over the existing culverts was applied in the 1930’s. This included some shoring-up of the edge of the roadway using a historic construction style attributed to pre-1940’s plantation masons. The present day Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge appears to consist of two sections of prefabricated concrete culvert welded together to form the length of the existing bridge. A more modern construction style probably occurred because of the many repairs the bridge had undergone due to storm damage.

The study was able to establish that at least the first 10 feet of sediment can be attributed to historic alluvium from Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch. This is generally consistent with the information collected by Geolabs, the geotechnical engineer, for this project. They recorded a dark gray clay silt to a depth of 10 feet above the grayish tan coralline sand.

Like the LR&FI, the inventory survey notes that there is a low potential for the discovery of previously unidentified historic properties beyond the historic era itself. The area surrounding the bridge includes the Kūlanihāko‘i Stream mouth, a natural wetland and associated flood plain. While impacts by flooding episodes and modifications associated with road construction and maintenance have greatly altered sediments of the project areas, the possibility of encountering intact subsurface cultural deposits, including human burials,

Page 103: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

should not be underestimated. Therefore, archaeological monitoring is recommended for all ground disturbing activities during all phases of the temporary bridge and bypass road work and bridge replacement. It is also recommended that a monitoring report be generated after the construction of the temporary bridge and bypass road and the replacement bridge.

With regard to the bridge itself, the structure was constructed in 1911 and is now 102 105 years old. It is therefore considered a historic property and recordation of the bridge would be required under Chapter 13-275, Hawai‘i Administrative Rules if deemed eligible based on SHPD’s evaluation of the bridge’s significance. Consultation with SHPD, by letter dated December 20, 2012, indicated that while the bridge is unique due to age and represents the first generation of concrete bridges in the islands, it is literally falling apart and has lost any distinguishing architectural characteristics. On this basis, SHPD has determined that the bridge has lost its integrity and is not eligible to be recorded on the State Inventory of Historic Properties. Therefore, the proposed project will have no effect on historic property.

The archaeological inventory survey noted that the Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge (SIHP 50-50-10-7606) has yielded information important to the understanding of the first generation of concrete bridges in the Hawaiian Islands. SIHP -7606 is thus considered significant under Criterion D. Sufficient information concerning SIHP -7606 was collected during the investigation. Based on the additional research, no further work is recommended for the bridge.

The archaeological inventory survey also noted that while subsurface testing was not done beneath South Kīhei Road, boring logs from the Geolabs report recorded the presence of coralline sand around 12 feet below the surface of the road. The presence of this type of sediment deposit may present the potential for encountering sensitive cultural resources in a subsurface context. Monitoring of the culvert removal by a qualified archaeologist is thus recommended.

By letter dated June 25, 2014, the SHPD noted that the archaeological inventory survey meets the requirements of Hawai‘i Administrative Rule Section 13-276 and is accepted as final. Refer to Appendix D.

region. Roadway improvements should be planned, designed, and constructed as prioritized under the Implementing Actions section below, and as generally described in the Kīhei Traffic Master Plan.

g. Plan, design, and construct a pedestrian and bikeway network throughout the Kīhei-Mākena region which considers the utilization of existing stream beds, drainageways, wetlands and public rights-of-way along coastal and inland areas.

Discussion: The proposed project will replace the current, deteriorating bridge and provide a bike lane and a paved walkway on the mauka side of the roadway making the area safer for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. In addition, the makai side of the bridge and immediately adjacent areas will accommodate a bike lane and paved walkway. Improvements to additional segments can be implemented if and when future improvements are pursued on the makai side of South Kīhei Road.

4.2.2 County of Maui Zoning

The purpose and intent of the County of Maui Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (Title 19, Article II), is to regulate the utilization of land in a manner encouraging orderly development in accordance with the land use directives of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, the revised charter of the County, and the general plan and the community plans of the County.

According to the County of Maui Planning Department, the project site is zoned Drainage (DR), Park (PK), and Apartment (A-1). However, roadways, such as the proposed project, are considered an incidental use that is permitted in each of the County’s zoning districts. Thus the proposed project is consistent with the County zoning districts.

4.2.3 County of Maui Special Management Area

Pursuant to the Hawai‘i CZM Program, Chapter 205A, HRS, the counties have enacted ordinances establishing Special Management Areas (SMA). Any “development” within the SMA requires an SMA Use Permit administered by the County of Maui Planning Department. Through the SMA permit system, the County assesses and regulates developments proposed for areas located within the SMA and the proposed developments are evaluated for compliance with the CZM objectives and policies and SMA guidelines set forth in Chapter 205A, HRS. Figure 2-2 4-3 shows that the entire project site is located within the SMA. Since the project has a total cost fair market value greater than $125,000 $500,000 in value and is considered a “development,” an SMA Use Permit will be required for the proposed project. The proposed project is consistent with the CZM objectives and policies as described in Section 4.1.3 of this document.

5. ALTERNATIVES

5.1 No Action Alternative Under the no action alternative, the replacement of the deteriorating culverts and the proposed roadway improvements would not be pursued. Environmental impacts would be avoided, construction costs spared, and the need for permits precluded. The existing culverts would continue to deteriorate and substandard conditions for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists would continue. As the bridge is structurally deficient, the culverts have the potential to collapse in the near future due to vehicles traversing over it. If the bridge should collapse, this portion of South Kīhei Road would need to be closed and vehicles rerouted causing increased congestion on other nearby roadways such as Ohukai Road, Ka‘ono‘ulu Road, Kūlanihāko‘i Street, Waipu‘ilani Road, and Pi‘ilani Highway. This would inconvenience residents and businesses who depend on that portion of South Kīhei Road as a through road for their needs.

5.2 Alternative 1: Construction of Four (4) 6-Feet Wide and 4-Feet High Culverts This alternative proposes constructing four (4) new culverts to replace the existing four (4) deteriorating culverts. As stated in earlier sections, the proposed six (6) culverts only provides a slight increase in drainage capacity for a 100-year, 24-hour storm event. Currently because of the relatively flat topography of the area, installation of four (4) new 6-feet wide by 4-feet high culverts at South Kīhei Road would basically ensure that the same flooding parameters which result from the existing four (4) culverts would continue. Since the sand plug is a natural occurrence at the ocean outlet, flows would continue to be impeded. Silt and sediment would continue to accumulate at the muliwai. With the replacement of the four culverts, South Kīhei Road can continue to be utilized as a collector road. Basically, the replacement of the four (4) culverts represents a continuation of the status quo.

5.3 Alternative 2: Construction of Eight (8) 6-Feet Wide and 4-Feet High Culverts This alternative proposes constructing a total of eight (8) culverts, each 6-feet wide and 4-high. Drainage capacity of the culverts was analyzed, assuming the downstream end of the stream was not blocked off from the existing accumulated sand plug at the shoreline. The results showed that the eight (8) culverts would have an increased flow capacity (409 cfs) and could handle more flow than the existing four culverts as well as the proposed culverts (204 cfs and 306 cfs, respectively). However, this increased capacity does not significantly reduce the amount of runoff overtopping South Kīhei Road. This is due to the accumulated sand dunes blocking the natural flow of the outlet of the stream as well as the relatively flat topography of lands around South Kīhei Road and the shoreline. This causes runoff to pond until water levels reach a height higher than the sand plug or the sand plug is breached. Therefore, adding additional culverts will not reduce the existing flooding in the area. Although there is an increase in drainage capacity and depth of flow over the roadway is slightly decreased, the proposed bridge replacement ultimately does not resolve the existing flooding that occurs near and around the project site during heavy storm events. This is due to the accumulating sand dunes blocking off the downstream path causing runoff to back up and flood the roadway. The eight (8) culverts were also analyzed assuming that the outlet is

Page 109: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

5-2

not blocked. The results from the model and calculations show that the depth overtopping the roadway is reduced significantly by about three feet. While the additional culverts would provide a slight decrease in flows overtopping South Kīhei Road, the decrease is not significant enough that it would address the regional flooding problem in the area. While flooding is a concern, it is beyond the scope of this project as it is a regional issue and should be addressed by a drainage master plan. The County of Maui is currently updating their Kīhei Drainage Master Plan which is anticipated to be completed within two years.

5.4 Alternative 3: Construction of Larger Culverts or Construction of a Bridge over South Kīhei Road to Accommodate the 100-Year Storm

This alternative proposes installation of larger culverts or a bridge over the existing culverts to handle the 100-year storm. As discussed earlier in Section 3.13.3, at the point where the 100-year storm runoff flows reach the existing culverts, the total flow would be approximately 14,148 cfs. To accommodate this flow, the size of the culverts, as well as the velocity of the peak flows need to be considered. For example, if the velocity of the flow is assumed to travel at 10 feet per second, the culverts would need to be a total of 10-feet high and 140-feet wide. However, if the velocity of the flow is assumed to travel at 25 feet per second, the culverts would need to be a total of 10-feet high and 56-feet wide. Freeboard requirements for the bridge present another safety factor that needs to be considered. This would result in wider and/or deeper channels, therefore, at a minimum, the roadway would also need to be raised, the invert of the culverts deepened, and/or the span of the culverts would need to be widened to accommodate the 100-year storm flow. The roadway would need to be constructed at a slight incline, but due to the physical constraints of the project site, neighboring properties. would require extensive improvements which may require reconstruction of the Kaʻonoʻulu intersection and the existing drainage system along South Kīhei Road to prevent flooding of the Kīhei Bay Vista complex from the proposed bridge. Although in this alternative the storm flows would not overtop the roadway, flooding would still be an issue for the surrounding areas because of the sand plug and the flat topography of the area. Similarly for the bridge alternative, the bridge could sit approximately 3-feet higher than the existing road with a mid-span pier to help reduce the amount of runoff overtopping the roadway during heavy storm events. Assuming that the outlet is not blocked off by the existing accumulating sand dunes, it was determined that storm runoff from the 100-year storm event would still overtop the bridge, but not as severe as the proposed six (6) culverts. To compensate for this occurrence, the bridge could be raised higher. This is a similar situation to the larger culvert in which, due to the physical constraints of the project site, constructing a bridge would require extensive improvements which may require reconstruction of the Kaʻonoʻulu intersection and the existing drainage system along South Kīhei Road to prevent flooding of the Kīhei Bay Vista complex from the proposed bridge.

5.5 Alternative 4: Increasing Drainage Channel Capacity This alternative proposes construction of a drainage channel. The makai portions of Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch are not a well-defined water course. There are limited channel capacities that are unable to contain peak flows during storm periods. As a result, during significant rainfall events, runoff from the upper areas of the watershed descends onto the Kīhei flood plains in voluminous quantities. Thus, during significant rains, the existing drainage channel will be overtopped before it reaches the existing culvert even if the culvert is properly sized for the 100 year storm. In order to fully accommodate the 100-year storm flows, the upstream and downstream drainageways need to have the capacity to accommodate peak flows. This would require a drainage channel to be excavated from Ka‘ono‘ulu Estates IV, near Pi‘ilani Highway, to the ocean. Due to the relatively flat coastal topography and the sand dunes which tend to form at the stream mouth, the drainage channel would likely need to extend partially into the ocean. Makai portions of the channel would most likely contain sea water on a relatively permanent basis. Such a channel would likely involve land acquisition and involve view and aesthetic impacts. Portions of existing beach areas would be occupied by a drainage structure at the stream mouth. A significantly larger and more direct drainage route to the ocean would likely mean increased sediment and other pollutants deposited into the nearshore environment. The increased volume and velocity of runoff may affect the bathymetry of the area, which in turn affects wave action, coral growth and sand transport. Since the watershed is significant in terms of its size, impacts to the nearshore environment would need to be studied carefully. Possible effects on coral, aquatic biota, fish and marine mammals need to be considered. While increasing the drainage channel capacity is an alternative, the scope and assessment of impacts for this alternative is much larger than replacing a single deteriorated culvert bridge at South Kīhei Road. As drainage in this area is a regional problem, a coordinated drainage master plan for the region is needed to address how drainage throughout the area will be handled. The County of Maui is currently updating their Kīhei Drainage Master Plan which is anticipated to be completed in approximately two years.

5.6 Alternative 5: Installation of Upstream Detention This alternative proposes upgrading the culverts at South Kīhei Road and installing appropriately sized detention basins located mauka of Pi‘ilani Highway. Detention basins would allow for controlled release of runoff so water would likely be flowing downstream of the basins for a period of time after rain has stopped. Depending on its size and the percolation capacity of the soil, retention basins can allow significant portions of peak runoff to percolate into the ground and allows some settlement and removal of sediment and other pollutants. Upstream detention does not only involve the excavation of basins. Analysis must be undertaken to ensure that drainageways leading to the basin and leaving the basin are adequate to carry flows. If not, excavation to provide for adequate drainage capacity will be needed. It should be noted that this alternative will require a significant amount of land from upstream owners.

As mentioned earlier, the total flows for a 100-year storm would be approximately 14,148 cfs. The 100-year storm is measured over a 24-hour period. Therefore, a 24-hour period would yield flows of approximately 1,222,387,200 cubic feet of storm flow per day. To accommodate this maximum amount of flow and to not allow any flow to enter the ocean, the upstream detention basin would need to be approximately the size of 1-mile in length by 1-mile in width by approximately 44-feet in depth. To ensure that the detention basins and related drainageways function properly over time, maintenance concerns need to be addressed. Debris, silt and sediment which accumulate in the basin and drainageways must be removed in order to ensure adequate capacity. Personnel needed to maintain the system as well as the cost of maintenance needs to be taken into consideration. Access through private property must also be provided so that maintenance activities can be undertaken. While installing detention basins and related draingeways are an alternative, the scope and assessment of impacts for this alternative is much larger than replacing a single deteriorated culvert bridge at South Kīhei Road. As drainage within this watershed is a regional problem, a coordinated drainage master plan for the region is needed to address how drainage throughout the area will be handled. The County of Maui is currently updating their Kīhei Drainage Master Plan which is anticipated to be completed in approximately two years.

5.7 Alternative 6: Diversion of Upstream Flows to Another Drainage District This alternative proposes diverting runoff flows generated mauka of Pi‘ilani Highway within the Kūlanihāko‘i drainage district to other nearby drainage districts. This alternative may lessen flooding and environmental impacts in the area of Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch from Pi‘ilani Highway to the shoreline, however, it would exacerbate flooding issues in the neighboring districts. Although the Kūlanihāko‘i Gulch generates most of the flows within the Kūlanihāko‘i District, there are smaller subdistricts which contribute to the total amount of flow. In terms of the 100-year storm flows, the Kūlanihāko‘i District generates more than 13,000 cfs mauka of Pi‘ilani Highway. Under this alternative, these flows would be diverted to neighboring drainage districts. Waiakoa District which is the neighboring district to the north, generates 100-year storm flows of approximately 9,000 cfs mauka of Pi‘ilani Highway. If Kūlanihāko‘i District flows were diverted to the Waiakoa District, approximately 22,000 cfs of peak flows would need to be accommodated. Similarly, Waipu‘ilani Gulch, which is the neighboring district to the south, generates 100-year storm flows of more than 10,000 cfs. If flows from the Kūlanihāko‘i Distict were diverted to the Waipu‘ilani District to the south, then 23,000 cfs of peak flows would need to be accommodated. Should this alternative be pursued, analysis would have to be undertaken to ensure that the neighboring drainageways have the capacity to accommodate the peak flows from the Kūlanihāko‘i District. This would most likely require that channel(s) of adequate size to accommodate peak flows would likely need to be excavated in which ever neighboring district was chosen. Roadway culverts also have to be significantly enlarged. Because of

5-5

the relatively flat coastal topography and the sand dunes which tend to form at the stream mouth, the drainage channel may need to extend partially into the ocean. Makai portions of the channel may also contain sea water on a relatively permanent basis. Such channel(s) would likely involve land acquisition and involve view and aesthetic impacts. Portions of existing beach areas would be occupied by a drainage structure at the stream mouth(s) of the neighboring drainage district. A significantly larger and more direct route to the ocean would likely mean increased sediment and other pollutants deposited into the nearshore environment of the neighboring drainage district. The increased volume and velocity of runoff may also affect the bathymetry of the area, which in turn would affect wave action, coral growth and sand transport. Since the drainage area and peak runoff have significantly increased within the adjoining drainage district, impacts to the nearshore environment would need to be studied carefully. Possible effects on coral, aquatic biota, fish and marine mammals are likely to be significant and concentrated. While the general concept of diversion of upstream flows to another drainage district is a possible alternative, diversion of peak runoff to other areas further away would only add more expense and concentrate the issues of dealing with peak runoff to another area besides the Kūlanihāko‘i Drainage District. In addition, the scope and assessment of impacts for this alternative is much larger than replacing a single deteriorated culvert bridge at South Kīhei Road. As drainage in this area is a regional problem, a coordinated drainage master plan for the region is needed to address how drainage throughout the area will be handled. The County of Maui is currently updating their Kīhei Drainage Master Plan which is anticipated to be completed in approximately two years.

6. ANTICIPATED DETERMINATION OF FONSI

The proposed project involves the following improvements: Potential impacts of the proposed improvements have been evaluated in accordance with the significance criteria of Section 11-200-12 of the Department of Health’s Administrative Rules. Discussion of the project’s conformance to the criteria is presented as follows: (1) Involves an irrevocable commitment to loss or destruction of any natural or cultural

resource; An Archaeological Literature Review and Field Inspection for the project site was conducted for the property in December 2012. Based on the field inspection findings and background research, there is a low potential for the discovery of previously unidentified historic properties beyond the historic era itself. The area surrounding the bridge includes the Kūlanihākoʻi Stream mouth, a natural wetland and associated flood plain. While impacts by flooding episodes and modifications associated with road construction and maintenance have greatly altered sediments of the project areas, the possibility of encountering intact subsurface cultural deposits, including human burials, should not be underestimated. Therefore, archaeological monitoring is recommended for all ground disturbing activities during all phases of the temporary bridge and bypass road work and bridge replacement. It is also recommended that a monitoring report be generated after the construction of the temporary bridge and bypass road and the replacement bridge. A site inspection was conducted on December 13, 2012 by SHPD and Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i. Based on the site inspection, SHPD requested that an AIS be prepared for the project site. An AIS was conducted by Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i, Inc. dated June 2013. The survey included shovel testing and pipe coring which enabled mapping a general stratigraphy of the project to a depth of approximately 10 feet below ground surface. Two soil samples were submitted for pollen analysis. The AIS is currently pending and will be submitted to SHPD for approval when it has been completed. Subsequent consultation with SHPD, by letter dated February 1, 2013, indicated that they have concerns that the project area is located within a zone of beach sand dune and Aeolian sand deposits which are known to contain human burial features and historic habitation sites. It is therefore likely that historic properties, including human remains, may be present beneath the previously disturbed road grade and sub-grade or within previously unaffected areas of the right-of-way. SHPD requested that all project associated excavations be monitored by a qualified archaeologist in order to identify and mitigate any subsurface cultural features and deposits. They further recommend that an archaeological monitoring plan be submitted to their office for review and approval prior to initiation of this project. Should any significant archeological, cultural, or historic resources be found during construction activities, all work will cease in the vicinity of the find and SHPD will be notified immediately to determine appropriate mitigation measures. The AIS noted that while subsurface testing was not done beneath South Kīhei Road, boring logs from the Geolabs, the geotechnical engineer for the project, recorded the presence of coralline sand around 12 feet below the surface of the road. The presence of this type of

Page 115: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

6-2

sediment deposit may present the potential for encountering sensitive cultural resources in a subsurface context. The AIS recommended monitoring of the culvert removal. The County is committed to implement archaeological monitoring in accord with the AIS recommendation. With regard to the bridge itself, the structure was constructed in 1911 and is now 102 105 years old. It is therefore considered a historic property and recordation of the bridge would be required under Chapter 13-275, Hawai‘i Administrative Rules if deemed eligible based on SHPD’s evaluation of the bridge’s significance. Consultation with SHPD, by letter dated December 20, 2012, indicated that while the bridge is unique due to age and represents the first generation of concrete bridges in the islands, it is literally falling apart and has lost any distinguishing architectural characteristics. On this basis SHPD has determined that the bridge has lost its integrity and is not eligible to be recorded on the State Inventory of Historic Properties. Therefore, the proposed project will have no effect on historic property. The archaeological inventory survey noted that the Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge (SIHP 50-50-10-7606) has yielded information important to the understanding of the first generation of concrete bridges in the Hawaiian Islands. SIHP -7606 is thus considered significant under Criterion D. Sufficient information concerning SIHP -7606 was collected during the investigation. Based on the additional research, no further work is recommended for the bridge. There will be no destruction or loss of any significant, endangered, or threatened botanical, faunal, geological, or other natural resources. With the exception of the Hawaiian Stilt, none of the plant or animal species identified within the project site are threatened or endangered, or are a species of concern. Prior to construction, it is recommended that a qualified biologist survey areas mauka of the proposed project site to determine if any nesting stilt are present. If nesting stilt are found, the County will need to consult with the USFWS over appropriate measures or conditions that may need to be met to ensure that construction activity does not harm nesting stilts. There are no federally delineated Critical Habitat within or close to the project corridor, thus construction and operation of the proposed project will not result in any impacts to federally designated Critical Habitats. (2) Curtails the range of beneficial uses of the environment;

The proposed project will not curtail the beneficial uses of the environment. Use of the project site for the proposed project would be consistent with its current use as a culvert bridge and a roadway. (3) Conflicts with the state’s long-term environmental policies or goals and guidelines as

expressed in Chapter 344, HRS, and any revisions thereof and amendments thereto, court decisions, or executive orders;

The proposed project does not conflict with long-term environmental policies, goals, and guidelines of the State of Hawai‘i. As presented in this EA, the project’s potential temporary adverse impacts are associated primarily with short-term construction-related activities and can be mitigated through adherence to standard construction mitigation practices. (4) Substantially affects the economic or social welfare of the community or state;

Page 116: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

6-3

In the short-term, the proposed project will confer positive benefits in the local economy. Direct economic benefits will result from construction expenditures both through the purchase of material from local suppliers and through the employment of local labor, thereby stimulating that sector of the economy. Indirect economic benefits may include benefits to local retailing businesses resulting from construction activities. There are no significant adverse long-term socio-economic impacts anticipated with the proposed improvements. The replacement of the culverts and the associated improvements to South Kīhei Road are not expected to induce growth beyond that which is anticipated for the region. The improvements are intended to benefit the entire Kīhei region without impacting a specific ethnicity or income group. The proposed project will not result in a disproportionality high adverse impact on minority and low-income populations. (5) Substantially affects public health;

No significant adverse short or long-term impacts are anticipated as a result of the proposed project. In the long-term, the proposed project will provide positive effects as the proposed project will replace the existing, deteriorating culverts and provide a bike lane and a paved walkway on the mauka side of the roadway. This will enhance the safety of motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians along this section of roadway. (6) Involves substantial secondary impacts, such as population changes or effects on

public facilities;

No secondary effects are anticipated with the construction or operation of the proposed project. The improvements, in and of themselves, are not anticipated to affect the population of the Kīhei District. Rather, the project is proposed to fulfill an essential community need to provide safe access to and from the region for vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians alike. (7) Involves a substantial degradation of environmental quality;

The proposed project is not anticipated to involve a substantial degradation of environmental quality. Construction activities associated with the proposed improvements will create some adverse short-term impacts such as unavoidable noise impacts and air quality impacts from soil excavation and other ground disturbance activities. Unavoidable construction noise impacts on nearby land uses in the immediate vicinity of the proposed project will be mitigated to some degree by complying with the provisions of the State DOH Administrative Rules, Title 11, Chapter 46, Community Noise Control. Potential air quality impacts during construction of the proposed project will be mitigated by complying with the State DOH Administrative Rules, Title 11, Chapter 60, Air Pollution Control.

Potential water quality impacts to surface and near shore coastal waters during construction of the proposed improvements will be mitigated by adherence to State and County water quality regulations governing grading, excavation, and stockpiling. A DOA Nationwide Permit, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and a

Page 117: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

6-4

WQC, issued by the DOH, pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act will be required. In conjunction with the Section 401 and 404 permits, a BMP plan will be prepared for construction activities within the project site. Erosion and sediment control measures will be instituted in accordance with site specific assessments, incorporating appropriate structural and/or non-structural BMPs such as minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping, and implementing erosion control measures such as silt fences and filter berms. Specific BMPs may include, but may not be limited to the following: 1. Minimizing soil loss and erosion by revegetation and stabilization of slopes and

disturbed areas of soil, possibly using hydromulch, geotextiles, or other applicable alternatives, as soon as possible after working;

2. Minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping; 3. Application of protective covers to soil and material stockpiles; 4. Minimizing disturbance of soil during periods of heavy rain; 5. Implementing erosion control measures by emplacement of structural controls

such as silt fences, filter berms, gravel bags, fiber rolls, sandbag barriers and other barriers in order to retard and prevent the loss of sediment from the site;

6. Phasing of the project to disturb the minimum area of soil at a particular time; 7. Use of drip pans beneath vehicles not in use in order to trap vehicle fluids; 8. Routine maintenance of BMPs by adequately trained personnel; 9. Significant leaks or spills, if they occur, shall be properly cleaned up and disposed

of at an approved site. Following construction, exposed soils at the project site will have been built over, paved over, or re-vegetated to control erosion. Dewatering may be required for the proposed project. Should dewatering be deemed necessary, the contractor will be responsible to obtaining all applicable permits including, but not limited to, an NPDES Permit for Dewatering Activities. The permit application will require a BMP plan, an erosion control plan, and a water quality monitoring plan. Water quality impacts associated with the disposal of dewatering effluent will also be addressed in the BMP plan, including appropriate characterization of any potential pollutants such as sediments and nutrients in the effluent. In the long-term, no significant air quality, noise, or water quality impacts are anticipated from the operation of the proposed project. (8) Is individually limited but cumulatively has considerable effect upon the environment

or involves a commitment for larger actions;

No cumulative effects are anticipated, inasmuch as the proposed project involves replacing an existing culvert bridge and roadway improvements in an already urbanized setting.

(9) Substantially affects a rare, threatened, or endangered species, or its habitat;

Page 118: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

6-5

No listed, candidate, or proposed rare, threatened, or endangered species of flora or fauna under either the Federal or State endangered species statutes nor any critical habitat units will be disturbed as a result of the proposed improvements. Prior to construction, it is recommended that a qualified biologist survey areas mauka of the proposed project site to determine if any nesting Hawaiian stilt are present. If nesting stilt are found, the County will need to consult with the USFWS over appropriate measures or conditions that may need to be met to ensure that construction activity does not harm nesting stilts. There are no federally delineated Critical Habitat within or close to the project corridor, thus construction and operation of the proposed project will not result in any impacts to federally designated Critical Habitats. (10) Detrimentally affects air or water quality or ambient noise levels;

No long-term significant impacts to air quality, water quality, or noise levels within the project site are anticipated with the construction of the proposed project. During construction of the proposed project, two potential types of air pollution emissions will likely occur, resulting in air quality impacts: 1) airborne dust from construction activities such as grading and excavation within the project site; and 2) exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment from the project site. Potential air quality impacts during construction of the proposed project will be mitigated by complying with the State DOH Administrative Rules, Title 11, Chapter 60-11.1 “Air Pollution Control.” The construction contractor is responsible to complying with the State DOH regulations which prohibit visible dust emissions at property boundaries. Compliance with State regulations will require adequate measures to control airborne dust by methods such as water spraying and sprinkling of loose or exposed soil or ground surface areas and dust-generating equipment during construction. As may be deemed appropriate, planting of landscaping or re-paving as soon as possible on completed areas will also help to control dust. During construction, air quality levels would be most affected by vehicular emissions generated by project-related traffic, however, the elevated vehicular emission concentrations are anticipated to dissipate.

Potential water quality impacts to surface and near shore coastal waters during construction of the proposed improvements will be mitigated by adherence to State and County water quality regulations governing grading, excavation, and stockpiling. A DOA Nationwide Permit, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and a WQC, issued by the DOH, pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act will be required. In conjunction with the Section 401 and 404 permits, a BMP plan will be prepared for construction activities within the project site. Erosion and sediment control measures will be instituted in accordance with site specific assessments, incorporating appropriate structural and/or non-structural BMPs such as minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping, and implementing erosion control measures such as silt fences and filter berms. Specific BMPs may include, but may not be limited to the following:

Page 119: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

6-6

1. Minimizing soil loss and erosion by revegetation and stabilization of slopes and disturbed areas of soil, possibly using hydromulch, geotextiles, or other applicable alternatives, as soon as possible after working;

2. Minimizing time of exposure between construction and landscaping; 3. Application of protective covers to soil and material stockpiles; 4. Minimizing disturbance of soil during periods of heavy rain; 5. Implementing erosion control measures by emplacement of structural controls

such as silt fences, filter berms, gravel bags, fiber rolls, sandbag barriers and other barriers in order to retard and prevent the loss of sediment from the site;

6. Phasing of the project to disturb the minimum area of soil at a particular time; 7. Use of drip pans beneath vehicles not in use in order to trap vehicle fluids; 8. Routine maintenance of BMPs by adequately trained personnel; 9. Significant leaks or spills, if they occur, shall be properly cleaned up and disposed

of at an approved site. Following construction, exposed soils at the project site will have been built over, paved over, or re-vegetated to control erosion. Construction activities are not likely to introduce to, nor release from the soil any materials which could adversely affect groundwater. Construction material wastes will be appropriately disposed of and must also be prevented from leaching into receiving bodies of water. Dewatering may be required for the proposed project. Should dewatering be deemed necessary, the contractor will be responsible to obtaining all applicable permits including, but not limited to, an NPDES Permit for Dewatering Activities. The permit application will require a BMP plan, an erosion control plan, and a water quality monitoring plan. Water quality impacts associated with the disposal of dewatering effluent will also be addressed in the BMP plan, including appropriate characterization of any potential pollutants such as sediments and nutrients in the effluent. No long-term significant impacts to noise levels within the project site are anticipated as a result of construction and operation of the proposed project. In the short-term, noise from construction activities such as excavation, grading, cutting and paving will be unavoidable. The increase in noise level will vary according to the particular phase of construction. Noise may also increase as a result of operating heavy construction vehicles and other power equipment during the construction period. Construction noise impacts will be mitigated by compliance with provisions of the State DOH Administrative Rules, Title 11, Chapter 46, “Community Noise Control” noise control regulations. These rules require a noise permit if the noise levels from construction activities are expected to exceed the allowable levels stated in the DOH Administrative Rules. It shall be the contractor’s responsibility to minimize noise by properly maintaining noise mufflers and other noise-attenuating equipment, and to maintain noise levels within regulatory limits. Also, the guidelines for heavy equipment operation and noise curfew times, as set forth by the DOH noise control rules, will be adhered to; or if necessary, a noise permit shall be obtained. These rules require a noise variance for any night work. Night work is anticipated for the project and, as such, a noise variance will be obtained. Further, DOH rules require a

Page 120: revised final environmental assessment - Hawaii.gov

Kūlanihāko‘i Bridge Replacement Revised Final Environmental Assessment

6-7

noise permit if the noise levels from construction activities are expected to exceed the allowable levels stated in the DOH Administrative Rules. It shall be the contractor’s responsibility to minimize noise by properly maintaining noise mufflers and other noise-attenuating equipment, and to maintain noise levels within regulatory limits. Also, the guidelines for hours of heavy equipment operation and noise curfew times as set forth by the DOH noise control rules will be adhered to; or if necessary, a noise permit will be obtained. In the long-term, no significant noise impact is anticipated once the proposed project has been completed. Noise from vehicles will continue to be the primary noise source along the project site, however, no adverse noise effects from the project are anticipated since the project is not expected to generate additional traffic in the vicinity. (11) Affects or is likely to suffer damage by being located in an environmentally sensitive

area such as a flood plain, tsunami zone, beach, erosion-prone area, geologically hazardous land, estuary, fresh water, or coastal waters;

No short- or long-term significant impacts are anticipated as the project site is not located within an environmentally sensitive area. According to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) (Community Panel Numbers 1500030586F and 1500030567F, Effective Date: September 19, 2012) prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the project site is designated Zone VE and Zone AE. Zone VE includes areas with a 1% or greater change of flooding and have an additional hazard associated with storm waves. In general, these areas have a 26% chance of flooding over the life of a 30-year mortgage. Zone AE is characterized as a “special flood hazard area subject to inundation by the 1% annual chance flood.” Zone AE is also a “floodway,” in which “the channel of the stream plus any adjacent floodplain areas that must be kept free of the encroachment so that the 1% annual chance flood can be carried without substantial increases in flood height.” The 1% annual flood is also commonly referred to as the 100-year flood or the base flood. According to the Tsunami Evacuation Zone maps for Maui, the project site lies entirely within the tsunami evacuation zone. Construction activities within the respective flood hazard districts will be conducted in accordance with regulations set forth in Section 19.62.060, Maui County Code. Before construction of any development begins within any flood hazard area, flood-related erosion hazard area, or mudslide area, a special flood hazard area development permit shall be obtained from the Director of the Department of Planning. The project will also comply with the rules and regulations for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) present in Title 44, of the Code of Federal Regulations (44CFR), as the project is within a Special Flood Hazard Area.

(12) Substantially affects scenic vistas and viewplanes identified in county or state plans or studies; or,

In the short-term, a temporary bypass road and bridge are being proposed on the mauka side of the existing roadway. This use will be generally similar in visual character to that of the temporary bridge over the existing culverts. Compared to the existing culverts, the temporary bridge on the mauka side of South Kīhei Road would provide a higher view object (approximately 14 feet) for individuals utilizing South Kīhei Road or in close proximity to this portion of the road. However, the temporary bridge and bypass road are necessary in order to maintain usage of this portion of South Kīhei Road during construction of the replacement Kūlanihākoʻi Bridge. Once the new bridge is constructed, the temporary bypass road and bridge will be removed. In the long-term, the proposed replacement bridge is not anticipated to have significant impacts on notable view planes nor adversely affect important public viewing points or visual resources. As an already existing roadway and bridge, the project will not significantly change the scenic and visual character of the surrounding area. (13) Requires substantial energy consumption.

Operation of the proposed project will not result in a significant increase in energy consumption.
