9. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: Lands surrounding the properties are zoned <br />Agricultural (A -20a). Land use in the area is generally in transition from one form of <br />agriculture to another. Properties surrounding the site are planted in macadamia or <br />eucalyptus trees. Fallow lands lie makai of the properties. <br />10. U.S.D.A. Soil Type: Moaula (MoC and MoE) and Naalehu Series (NaC). The Moaula <br />and Naalehu series consist of well -drained silty clay loams. For the Moaula series, <br />permeability is moderately rapid, runoff is slow and the erosion hazard is slight. For the <br />Naalehu Series, permeability is moderately rapid, runoff is medium and the erosion <br />hazard is moderate. <br />11. Land Study Bureau's Productivity Rating: "B" or "Good" (TMK: 9-6-6: 4) and "B" <br />and "C" or "Fair" (TMK: 9-6-5: 18). <br />12. ALISH: Prime Agricultural Land, land which has the soil quality, growing season, and <br />moisture supply needed to produce sustained high yields of crops economically when <br />treated and managed according to modern farming methods; and Other Important <br />Agricultural Land, land other than prime or Unique Agricultural Land that is also of <br />statewide or local importance for agricultural use. <br />13. Flora/Fauna: There were no professional surveys conducted of the floral or faunal <br />resources of the site, as the site was extensively planted in sugar cane in the past. The <br />flora of the uncultivated portions of the site is dominated by fallow sugar cane and non- <br />native plants. According to the applicant, there are no known federally listed or <br />endangered flora species at the site. No known federally listed threatened or endangered <br />faunal species are known to nest at or inhabit the project site. <br />14. Noise Impacts: There may be short-term noise impacts associated with the construction <br />of the on-site infrastructure for the proposed subdivision. Contractors will be required to <br />comply with appropriate noise and related mitigation measures of the State Department of <br />Health. <br />15. Air Quality: The proposed project will not generate any direct air quality impacts. The <br />only air quality impact may be associated with vehicular traffic to and from the site as <br />well as farm vehicles operating within the project site. <br />-4- <br />
