ecosystem." These are: 1) None include substantial or significant alterations to the <br />shoreline or coastal resources. 2) The existing wave regime and healthy coral <br />community together indicate the increased runoff and sedimentation is likely to have no <br />significant impact upon marine conditions. Nutrient loading is unlikely given the low <br />residence time of water along the Kaupulehu coast. In addition the existing coral <br />communities are already adapted to wave stress and currently high levels of <br />groundwater extrusion. 3) The naturally dry climate of the region and general lack of <br />rainfall, combined with the flat topography of the area will greatly reduce the <br />propensity for increased sheet flow and runoff, regardless of the cumulative area of <br />hardscape surfaces proposed in the three development areas. 4) Modem golf course <br />management is much more sophisticated than in times past. Pesticides and herbicides <br />are used sparingly and only by licensed personnel. However, the assessment did <br />recognize one impact, that of shoreline modification due to increased coastline access. <br />The applicant will prepare a Shoreline Management Plan to mitigate biological resource <br />depletion. <br />25. An archaeological inventory survey of the property was conducted by Paul H. <br />Rosendahl, Ph.D., Inc. (PHRI) in two phases between 1991 and 1994. The survey <br />covered approximately 2,184 acres. According to the final archaeological inventory <br />survey report (1995), a total of 193 sites, consisting of 660 discrete features, were <br />recorded during the survey. Of these sites, 45 are located outside of the project area. <br />None of the sites identified within the project area are located on the Kaupulehu flow of <br />1800. Of the 193 sites identified, 56 are recommended for no further work. Of the <br />remaining 137 sites, 69 sites are assessed as significant solely for information content <br />and recommended for further data collection. The remaining 68 sites have been <br />recommended for some form of preservation. Forty-four of these sites are <br />recommended for further data collection followed by preservation with interpretive <br />development. Two nail sites which are major trails and two other sites are <br />recommended for preservation with interpretive development. Of the 64 sites <br />recommended for preservation, 38 are wholly within the approximately 37 -acre <br />
