Aside from vehicular transmission, air pollution associated with the project should be negligible. All wastewater systems would be disposed off in the County's system along Kuakini Highway. This should be sufficient to address any potential groundwater or coastal water impacts. As required, a solid waste management plan will be prepared and implemented. As a commercial project, there will be noise associated with vehicles and some use. Nonetheless, they will be governed by the State Department of Health's Noise Regulations. it should not be a noisy one. Any noise -generating facility - such as air conditioners - would be carefully placed to minimize their noise impacts to adjoining properties. Further, while the site has some on-site developmental constraints, they are not insurmountable. For the most part, the site is designated "X" on the FIRM map, and any activities within the "AU area will be drainage -related and pursuant to County and Federal requirements. While there are two possible burials on the site, their locations are such that they would not restrict the development of this project. It should be noted that the existing conditions, such as Conditions M, N, and O, already address this matter. Being partially disturbed and within an urban environment, the prospects of the site serving as a habitat for rare or endangered plant or animal life appear remote. Although there may be a potential for some endemic birds to visit this area, the development of this site would not remove a critical habitat. Then, too, there are alternative areas that would be more suitable for any habitats. An Archaeological Inventory Survey (AIS) -was prepared for a 65 - acre area, of which the subject site is a part of. Relative to the subject site, the approved AIS noted that there were two (2) burials adjacent to the site of the proposed rental housing. The proposed buffer of a possible ceremonial site is situated on the subject site though. All of these features are generally noted in the project's site plan. Furthermore, if there are inadvertent archaeological features found on the site, work will stop and the State DLNR and County Planning Department will be consulted before further activities occur within the affected area. All of these protective archaeological and cultural protocols are already embodied in Conditions T and U. The Plan also emphasizes that developments be mindful of an area's natural beauty. In this situation, the project will be 25
