<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Appendix A presents a collection of data. <br /> <br /> An objective of Appendix A is to "assess the effect of the project on the <br /> significant (cultural or historic) sites". <br /> <br /> No assessment methodology is presented in either the IRMP or Appendix A. <br /> <br /> The IRMP offers mitigative and interpretive treatment of certain types of cultural <br /> and historical resources. <br /> <br /> Information on Hinakapc'uia, a wahi papa, and an informant's opinion on wao <br /> akua were presented in Appendix A of the Integrated Resources Management <br /> Plan (IRMP). <br /> <br /> In the IRMP discussion of "Sites associated with native Hawaiian religious and <br /> ceremonial practices" for both Subzone B-2 (IRMP. Pg. 57) and Subzone B-3 <br /> (IRMP. Pg. 61) indicates that "None were identified." <br /> <br /> A wao akua was identified during data collection but not assessed for significance. <br /> A wao akua was identified during data collection but the potential impacts upon it <br /> were not assessed. <br /> <br /> The work is inadequate. <br /> <br /> In conclusion, awaiting the decision of the Hawaii State Supreme Court will not only <br /> allow for logical sequencing of permits, but may also contribute to a more sound <br /> framework for data collection, analysis, evaluation and subsequent decision making <br /> E oluolu mai nei, defer decision making on this issue until the Court's decision is <br /> rendered. <br />
