Stacy Higa, Chairman <br />and Members of the County Council <br />Page 5 <br />required under the UIC permit, the applicant has conducted weekly monitoring of <br />wastewater discharges. (Refer to pages 19-21 in the application for information on the <br />disposal of industrial wastewater). Domestic wastewater will be treated and disposed of <br />in the existing septic tank and leach field system. Upon completion of CT -4 and CT -5, <br />the amount of domestic water treated and disposed of in the plant's existing septic tank <br />and leach field system has increased by approximately 2,000 gpd. With the completion of <br />ST -7, the amount of such domestic wastewater will increase slightly. <br />Paul H. Rosendahl, Ph.D., Inc., prepared a report titled Archaeological and <br />Cultural Impact Assessment Study, dated February 2004 (Appendix K). The report <br />consisted of an updated inspection of parcel 37 and the primary and secondary access <br />roads to supplement the previous archaeological inventory survey of parcel 36 completed <br />in 1992. The report also updated the previous cultural impact assessment of parcel 36 <br />completed in 1992 with the addition of parcel 37 and the access roads. Four quarry sites <br />consisting of seven component features, all pahoehoe excavations, were identified but no <br />subsurface test excavations were conducted since there were no cultural deposits of any <br />kind within the identified features. DLNR-SHPD determined that no further work or <br />preservation was recommended for any of the sites. The study confirmed that the <br />property has been extensively modified and developed for the operation of HELCO <br />Keahole Generating Station and Airport Substation. The study also concluded that the <br />proposed action will not significantly affect or adversely impact any historic properties or <br />archaeological resources on the property, and no mitigation measures are necessary. <br />No evidence of any potentially significant traditional native Hawaiian cultural <br />properties, natural resources, practices, or beliefs were identified during either the 1992 <br />inventory survey or the updated assessment conducted in 2003. The Archaeological and <br />Cultural Impact Assessment Study by Paul H. Rosendahl, Ph.D., Inc., conducted in <br />February 2004 (Appendix K) concluded that "based on the absence of any evidence that <br />the project site is currently being used for any legitimate traditional cultural purposes by <br />either native Hawaiian cultural practitioners or individuals of any other cultural <br />affiliation, it can be concluded that the HELCO Keahole Generating Station Project <br />should have no significant effects - much less any adverse impacts - upon any cultural <br />resources, and that no mitigation measures of any kind are needed." <br />Botanical consultants Char and Associates prepared a report titled, Botanical <br />Resources Assessment Study, dated August 2003 (Appendix C). The study found that the <br />project site is composed of introduced or alien species, and none of the plants on the <br />property and along the primary and secondary access roads is a threatened or endangered <br />species or a species of concern. The three native species, all indigenous, include the <br />'uhaloa and ilima, which were observed along the roadway and other disturbed areas, and <br />
