The northern segment of the project corridor (i.e., on parcel TMK 6-9-006:051) had apparently been bulldozed at some time in the past, as noted in the Archaeological Inventory Survey (Attachment 4, Environmental Assessment, Puakii Emergency Road, Appendix 3). Describe existing utilities. Include electricity, water, telephone, drainage, and sewerage. Please illustrate on a map entitled existing utilities. Utilities, including electricity, water, telephone, drainage, and sewerage, are neither required by the project, nor will they be affected by the project. Describe existing access. Illustrate and include roadways and public trails on a map entitled existing access. Give major street names if available. The purpose of the proposed action is to connect two roadways: Puako Beach Road and Holoholo Kai Beach Park Access Road. The project corridor will cross, but not obstruct, the asphalt foot path that leads to the Puako Petroglyph Archaeological District. A shoreline trail about 300 feet away would also not be affected. Describe Flora and Fauna. Illustrate general location and types of flora and fauna on a map entitled resources. Indicate if rare or endangered native plants and/or animals are present. The plant species of the project corridor were surveyed and no listed, candidate, or proposed endangered plant species were found or would be expected to be found on the project corridor. In terms of conservation value no, botanical resources requiring special protection are present. The project corridor is dominated by non-native species, predominantly kiawe (Prosopis pallida) although two indigenous species were detected, including `ilima (Sida Fallax). Birds in the project corridor are overwhelmingly alien, and no threatened or endangered species would likely be present. Little is known about the roosting sites of the endangered Hawaiian Hoary Bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus), which is often found in alien as well as native vegetation Conservation District Use Application.
