Draft Environmental Assessmen' June, 1998 Old Hilo Wastewater Treatment ..ant Page 12 are no extra funds budgeted for building such a Center. The funds originally -designated for demolition of the plant are an important financial source for building the Center at the project property. Aside from the original plan of demolishing the treatment plant and converting to a park, there were a number of other options of improving the site. These options include: • Demolition of all structures except the administration building with operation and maintenance by the Department of Parks and Recreation; • Demolishing all structures except the administration building, which would be turned over to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands; • Offer remaining portion of site not used for wastewater management purposes to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. The proposed plan of developing an aquaculture center at the project site is deemed as the best option based on the following factors: r • The funds originally designated for demolition will be used as well to prepare the site for conversion and renovation to the Center. In addition, funding from other sources such as UHH is also available for the Center development. • The Center will be used by UHH. The operation, maintenance and related funds will be provided by UHH. • Joined with the resources available at the area, the Center will benefit the local Hawaiian community, the University of Hawaii, the surrounding community and other coastal areas. 9.0 LIST OF PERMITS N This planning effort recognizes the eventual need of project proposals to obtain proper permits before construction.
