If grubbing or tree -cutting in forested areas (outside the proposed Dry Forest <br />Preserve) occurs during the Hawaiian Hawk breeding season from March - <br />October, a nest survey should be conducted to avoid potential take of nesting <br />Hawaiian Hawks. If a nest is detected, work in the area should cease. <br />• Preserve as many wiliwili stands as possible. <br />Preserve all maua,'aiea, and uhiuhi trees. <br />Select native species that occur naturally in the area as landscaping elements in <br />areas that will be bulldozed. <br />23. Fauna: Three species of native birds ('Io, Pueo and Hawaii'Amakihi) and eleven species <br />of introduced birds were identified on the site. Goats, rats and mongoose were found on <br />the site. <br />24. Groundwater Impact: A water study for the project conducted by Waimea Water <br />Services, Inc. in June, 2003 concluded that there are no bodies of water, including the <br />underlying brackish lens in the vicinity of the project, which might be negatively <br />impacted by the project. The study also concluded that there are no streams or <br />drainageways in the area. <br />25. Noise Impacts: Construction -related dust and short-term or temporary noise during <br />construction will be generated by site preparation activities for the project. However, <br />existing standard construction practices will be employed to mitigate any impact of dust <br />and noise. <br />26. Air Quality: Potential impacts to local air quality are expected to be minimal. <br />27. Rainfall: Annual average rainfall in the area is approximately 25 inches. <br />28. FIRM: Zone "X", an area outside of the 500 -year flood plain. <br />29. Coastal Hazards: The property is located mauka of the Queen Kaahumanu Highway <br />and will not affect or be affected by shoreline processes. <br />30. Recreational Resources: The proposed development will not reduce the size of the <br />coastline or other areas used for public recreational uses. <br />31. Visual Resources: An 800 -foot setback from the Queen Kaahumanu Highway will be <br />established to maintain the viewplane and open space character of the highway corridor. <br />7- <br />
